Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

pagangazarii This is a great story and very well told and should be told over and over as a lesson to our children. A lesson about how that even though you feel you are awkward, a bit clumsy (only because you are still growing into your body) and perhaps not society's version of pretty you are still special and no one is allowed to judge you. Children can be brutal in their teasing as we now know from stories about bullies. But no amount of bullying can change the fact that you are special and are going to grown into something the bullies will never become. A decent human being. This story goes even further than that and it should be watched for its awesome ending. Tim Curry can take me flying anytime he wants!As to my question: Is it right?The DVD may have been released in 1986, but I swear I watched this at home when I was a young teen (14-15)back in 1975! By 1986 I was married, a cancer survivor and had a 3 year old!Maybe it is senility or something but I remember it so clearly watching this show as a Halloween Special with a friend of mine while we ooh'ed and awe'ed over Tim Curry. Which I still do at 50!Does anyone remember when they saw the show on air? If it really wasn't on TV until 1986, I need to get my head examined!

sweetlittlebella I been watching this movie for years. When I was little, I couldn't wait till Halloween to watch it. Its one of my favorites,I have watched this movie so many times that I know it Word for Word. I never did care for the TV series, looked to dumb. I would watch this movie with a friend of mine and we both would play out the parts, She got tongue twisted sometime, but not me. I love how the grand wizard comes in the end for Mildred, she is not the worst witch after all. And how Ethel Gets mad and pushes herself out of the crowd. My aunt used to sing Aggies song My little school, and add words to it, like stinky rotten, boy would I laugh. I am 23 and till this day i'll still pop that movie in say the parts as they go

gaia_sky This movie is a classic. It is hilarious. If you love cult movies then this is for you. Watching Tim Curry sing and shake his tambourine is hysterical. I have watched this movie every year and not even on Halloween! It has horrible special effects....which make the movie even funnier. It reminds me of a Harry Potter for it's time. The similarities between Harry Potter and The Worst Witch are uncanny. I think that if you are looking for a family movie along the lines of Harry Potter then this movie is great. It is a good movie for all ages, the young kids think it's cool and the older kids will laugh at the special effects. Fairuza Balk was a great actress even back in 1986.

Jusenkyo_no_Pikachu I read part of the book in Grade 2. Then I saw the series only recently. Naturally, I couldn't resist seeing the movie. After a somewhat slow start, I found the movie to be somewhat enjoyable.Now i have finally read the books and I must say this movie is the most faithful adaptation yet.What happens (for those who haven't bothered to click the "plot summary" link for the entry) is this: Mildred Hubble has always been an underachiever at Cackles Academy. And when she gets a tabby cat instead of the standard black cat, she finds herself on the receiving end of teasing from Ethel Hallow (the highest-ranking first year). So she turns Ethel into a pig. After being reverted to human form, Ethel vows revenge. And Mildred gets selected for her class's Hallowe'en presentation...in front of none other than the Grand Wizard (aka non other than the great Tim Curry). SO Mildred is disgraced, Cackles is disgraced and it's about to be taken over anyhow.And I have just given away the entire plot of the movie, without actually giving away any spoilers.The plot also appears in episodes 3, 4 and 5 of the Worst Witch TV series (however it is altered--now Ethel's adventures as a pig include a trip to the farm and that part plays out as a separate story).It's an excellent kids show, based on a still-enjoyable book series. However, one wonders why they didn't make movies of "Worst Witch Strikes Again" and "A Bad Spell For The Worst Witch"
