I obviously had no frame of reference at the time, but the movie was directed by animation legend Richard Williams, perhaps best known as the animation director of Who Framed Roger Rabbit and infamously the troubled production that was The Thief and the Cobbler.His Raggedy Ann and Andy movie was a celebration of animation itself, and the film’s opening credits don’t tell us who voices the characters but which animators worked on each character. I wasn’t alive in 1977 when this movie was released, and in fact I probably didn’t see it until 1988 or ’89 when my grandma taped it off of PBS. New York children in the ’70s were possibly the post precocious.

Agatha wakes up realized that she was wrong on not allowing Ralph to go trick or treating and discovering Ralph and the now smiling pumpkin in his room greats the pumpkin. The only way to cheer up the sad pumpkin is to bring it to Ralph as a gift and then convince Aunt Agatha to change her Scrooge-like ways on Halloween by recalling to her in her sleep that Agatha (or Aggie, as she was known as a child) and a witch costume that Agatha wore and loved as a child.

The abandoned pumpkin in the pumpkin patch ( Les Tremayne) is very gloomy and emits pumpkin seeds as tears every time he weeps. The Raggedeys set out to find the pumpkin who's just right for Ralph. Raggedy Ann reasons that if there's an unhappy little boy where they live, then there must be an unhappy pumpkin somewhere out there waiting for a little boy.

At first, the Raggedeys seem upset with how Aunt Agatha treats her nephew and think that she's really mean to treat him in such a way by not allowing Ralph to go trick or treating with the rest of the children in the neighborhood. Raggedy Ann ( June Foray), Andy ( Daws Butler) and their dog, Raggedy Arthur, noticed how cruel their neighbor Aunt Agatha (Foray) is and how sad her nephew Ralph (Steven Rosenberg) is on Halloween but realized that Aunt Agatha had a Scrooge-like attitude towards the holiday.
