Do y'all think there are worse Halloween movies out there? If so, post em below and be CURSED

[pyredynasty]

"Looks like the volcano is erupting tonight, have fun kids." Is actually probably the most real Hawaiian this movie gets.

[ProjectSNT]

As someone that lives in the southern US, the fact that Kings Hawaiian went through all this trouble just for advertising baffles me, considering how people would fight each other for the hawaiian sweet rolls here.

Edit: What the hell is going on in the replies?

[RealRedRabbit]

This is extra amazing considering King's Hawaiian isn't even a Hawaiian company. They're from Cali.

[epicdemic]

As a native Hawaiian who has lived in Hawaii my entire life, those are some of the whitest Hawaiian kids I've ever seen.

Why does the main character's model looks like they based it off the Bible Town boy model and just altered it by a bit?

[dr.altoclef]

'Menehune' are apparently like, dwarf-like beings that live in secluded forests and valleys, far from human civilization. They're apparently highly skilled craftspeople that could build houses, canoes and even entire temples (heiau) in the span of a night.

Lava-Lady is almost certainly Pele. She's powerful and passionate, but can be intensely jealous and is super capricious, like "Hi'aka, you're *my sister*, stop spending time with Hopoe instead, I'll kill them-".

Meanwhile the Nightmarchers are the ghosts of ancient warriors, who come forth from their burial sites/the ocean, and march to sacred places, beating drums and blowing horns and carrying torches. You can't stop them, basically they'll keep going until they get where they want to go. If you watch them or show disrespect towards them you die a horrible violent death. If you ever encounter them, you're supposed to basically throw yourself on the ground, face-down, to show like, fear and deference to them. It's also said that if one of your ancestors was among these warriors, you're safe.
EDIT: My limited reading suggests that sharks have a neutral or positive overall depiction in Hawaiian legends.
Pele’s brother Kāmohoali’i, the shark god, would appear in front of lost ships. He would guide them home in exchange for ‘awa (Kava root drink). I’ve also heard of Ukupanipo(who guides fish to fisherman) and myths of men who can become sharks.

They also got the Nightmarchers mythologically incorrect. They’re malevolent spirits of ancient Hawaiian warriors, so chances are, they would’ve been killing the kids with Pineapple Head.
Oh, how I wish that would’ve happened.

[crashtefano]

"HE'S STRAIGHT" was so unexpected.
Comedic gold.

[dreammech_test]

“Dumb grandpa, gods and magic aren’t real. I’m gonna go casually see the anthro lion man now”

[thatoneguynova]

As someone who is Hawaiian and lives in the state, this movie is actually more funny than racist, stereotypical and stupid. The stereotypes are really far away from the truth and I just find it hilarious.




We also got Punalu’u sweet bread that’s slaps better than them rolls

[RenegadePandaZ]

For a movie about bread, this movie sure didn’t make a lot of dough.

[swaggycat]

Off-brand Groot attacks island suburbia and is defeated by 3 kids, multiple Sonic the Crackhogs, low-resolution villain from Moana, and Avatar people from Walmart.

[Evan_L_Rodriguez]

Of all the actual Hawaiian folklore in this film, what’s up with the pineapple head guy? Like, okay, a pineapple-headed monster, sure, but why attribute it to ancient Hawaiian folklore when pineapples aren’t even endemic to Hawai’i, and so a story like that wouldn’t even exist?
Why not make the story about the Nightmarchers? Their whole thing is that they march at night (obviously) and if you step in their path, they’ll walk over you and kill you, or kill you outright. If you hear the beating of their drums, you have to hide away inside, because it means they’re close, and their march is relentless and ceaseless. That would be a really cool opponent or obstacle for a story set on Halloween night. They could’ve even played down the nightmarchers by having them just steal people who get in their way, and maybe the kids encounter them while trick-or-treat-ing and have to get away, or they could make it really whimsical and the nightmarchers are out, but the kids insist on getting their candy and hijinks ensue, or something, I dunno.
I just think that Hawaiian folklore has a lot of genuinely creepy and interesting aspects to it (as with every culture), and they could’ve actually done something interesting with it instead of… whatever this was.

[BugsyFoga]

Gotta admit, a company that’s mainly know for producing bread was definitely one I was never expecting to make a freaking animated Halloween film.

[BottledPoe]

"I don't care if the hamsters look like Sonic versions of fruit stripes bubble gum!"

LOL that is so painfully accurate

[MaskedMammal]

The sad thing is, those sweet rolls literally look like they're pulled out of a Resident Evil game. Made them as realistic as possible, but they don't look appetizing. They look like they're melting. The part that's supposed to be light and bready is lumpy and discolored. There are flecks of dark green stuff that looks like mold. The tops look sickly and discolored, and seem like they would be rock hard.

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

King’s Hawaiian sweet rolls aren’t bad, but the movie is.

[surraciddac]

You can just call this Cultural Appropriation: The Movie, especially when they butchered that Hawaiian mythical creature so hard. 😂😂

[MovieFan]

A Halloween movie set in Hawaii does sound like a decent idea in my opinion, especially if it incorporates actual Hawaiian mythology, but this is certainly not the way to pull it off! Wouldn’t you agree?
