What is the animated film from the 1990's about the kids that go to the day of the dead festival in Mexico?

I remember watching this film about these children that go to an old man's "haunted" mansion to trick-or-treat and somehow end up going with a spirit guide to the day of the dead festival in Mexico. The kids have a very sick friend and at the end he is healed. I can't remember the title for the life of me. Any help would be great.|||The Halloween Tree

"Spock (Leonard Nimoy) waxes spooky as Death personified in this video retelling of Ray Bradbury's classic Halloween adventure. A Hanna-Barbera animated presentation, The Halloween Tree tells the story of four close friends who must face their greatest fears as they travel through time to save their dear comrade, Pip. It's Halloween night, Pip's favorite holiday, and the friends are baffled to spot his spirit running through the woods when they've just seen his body hauled off in an ambulance. Mustering their courage, they follow the spirit and meet Moundshroud (Nimoy), the mysterious black-caped proprietor of a haunted house. Moundshroud challenges them each to gain a deeper understanding of the origins of this ghostly holiday as he leads them on an educational journey through faraway places and time periods. From Egyptian sarcophaguses to Mexican graveyards, the children learn the legends behind Halloween and the importance they place on their friendship with Pip. Imaginative, not too scary, well-acted, and nicely drawn, this hour-long treat will appeal to little spooks ages 5 and older. A short Yogi Bear "classic" involving a witch vacationing in Jellystone Park opens the show; parents not into reminiscing might wish to fast-forward past this dated time-waster."|||The Halloween Tree as they said, I'm pretty sure it was a tv movie though I'm sure it has a dvd somewhere.
