The Legend of Hallowaiian

As THE LEGEND OF HALLOWAIIAN begins, it's Halloween on a Hawaiian island and middle schoolers Kai (voiced by Noah Schnapp), Leilani (Teilor Grubbs), and Eddie (Kiefer O'Reilly) go surfing. In the ocean, they discover an undersea cavern where a mysterious box has been hidden. Despite his friends' warning, Kai impulsively opens the box and finds within it a small, dark figurine. It soon becomes clear that he has unleashed Pineapple Head, a dangerous and powerful evil spirit long ago wrestled into submission by island spirits and put for safekeeping in the box. As they swim to the surface, Kai loses the figurine. When the kids describe the box to Kai's grandfather, Pono (Mark Dacascos), he warns of the dangerous force in the box, expressing his deep beliefs in island lore and Hawaiian gods. Kai scoffs at such ideas but still lies, assuring his grandfather that he didn't open the box and disturb the spirit within. Eddie, dressed as an astronaut for trick-or-treating, carries a moon rock given to Kai by his deceased mother. Pineapple Head, on a path of destruction, wants the rock to sustain and enhance his power. The kids now recognize that they will need to save the island from his evil. He grows bigger and stronger from moon power and when he obtains the moon rock, growing so tall and invincible that the kids realize they cannot defeat the monster without help from chipmunk-voiced Menahunai, legendary magical pixie creatures (who look a lot like minions from Despicable Me) and from the volcano's fire goddess (Vanessa Williams). The kids and Pono all display great bravery and self-sacrifice in the face of personal risk, defeating Pineapple Head and saving the island. Kai apologizes to Pono for lying and accepts and embraces the legends of his ancestors.
