: The Witches
Author: Roald Dahl (book) and Allen Scott II
Director: Nicolas Roeg
I hadn’t seen this movie in years, but saw it was on the Disney channel the other night and recorded it. It’s a superior kids movie, about a plot by witches to change all the children in England into mice. The special effects are a bit theatrical (lots of colored smoke) but fun, and the talking mice are really cool. Somewhat similar in humor to the Harry Potter books (except in this case magic and witches are evil). Overall, fun for kids, though its realistic and serious (i.e. non-cartoon) portrayal of witches could be scary for youngsters.
