Saw this cartoon one time when it came out, with Gilda Radner as the witch.Everyone else was illustrated in one solid color, which affected my cartooning ideas later on. Characters had atypical names, which was a turnoff as a kid, but now I see it as fun.Artwork AND animation worked wonderfully, as does the unexpectedly delightful twist at the end.I found this decades later on VHS and enjoyed it even more.Surprised I don't have a review up for it.The strange little song was also fun.

Witch's Night Out is a bizarre late 70s Halloween cartoon with some surprisingly adult subtexts. It follows the adventures of a witch who helps some trick or treaters by changing them into their favorite monsters.There are a number of things that set this special apart, starting with its soundtrack. It has an electronic, disco-influenced score, reminding one a bit of Electric Light Orchestra. This goes well with the at times psychedelic animation style. Although the animation itself is rather clunky, the character designs are rather interesting, with the witch looking like a dominatrix.However, the film's most distinctive quality is a subtext of emotional and even sexual repression. For example, one timid character ends up transformed into a very sexualized vampire. It'll go over the kids' heads, but adults might have a laugh.

I am on a search since i was 9 for this man. I am a animator working in the bizz . his film was the reason I went into animation. I was able to talk to a person that knew him but had know idea where he is now. Tony molesworth the voice of Small was very nice but had know idea where he is. If anyone has any info on this great man please let me know. I would like to thank him for putting me on the path of what I love to do. And it all started with Witch's Night Out that I watched over a million times. So much that I broke the tape back in 89. LOL. But with the power of DVD I was able to burn it. I mean really the art work the BG"s I was in love from day one. People started looking like these characters to me. i wanted to live in a world were we are all different colors. I loved the voice work as well as the music. I wish he would have used these characters more.

Although its been nearly 29 years from the first time I viewed this on its original TV broadcast. It still rings with humor in my memories. The animation is a bit choppy but the uniqueness of the story line and not the same old, same old; has made me wonder. Why this cartoon never made it to any classic so called status? Let alone sequels. Have found it recently here @ "IMdb" on line. And learned that the cast was as special as the story. But also so surprised that it is not carried at my local library. If you find it. Here, or there. It should be a definite hand me down to be enjoyed by all. There was an all-star cast of voices utilized in the production of this movie; for example Gilda Radner, one of the most talented and epic comedic talents of the 20th century! Again this animated, made for television movie should be viewed by all!!! REA
