How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Other than the fact that it has magic and is at a boarding school it's really nothing like Harry Potter. It's an all girls school with an all female staff. There are no creatures other than bats and cats. And also they have a special Halloween celebration. Anyone who compares this movie to Harry Potter knows nothing about either story. It has great musical number that you can't help but sing along with. And I don't recall the use of wands.I love the character of Mildrid because she represents so many of use who have a hard time getting things right. And of course she goes through being teased by her classmates. The ending was great just because of the looks on everyone's faces.

In my opinion, any film where Tim Curry sings is a delight. Although I am not a fan of a lot of the horror Mr. Curry has created, he is perfect in the Worst Witch. Seeing this for the first time at the age of eight back on the Disney Channel in 1986, I was blown away with the story and the actors in the movie. Balk, only a child at the time was a wonderful actress before she hit the big screens. She would later go on to do the sequel to the Wizard of Oz as Dorothy. A lot of the cast members in this movie went on to do other notable movies including The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. Overall, a perfect Halloween movie for girls and boys. It's funny that Harry Potter has a lot of similar tones and scenes that are equal to the Worst Witch.Still a great movie almost 20 years later. Check it out!

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"

Man, I love this show. It's my favorite show to watch on Halloween or any holiday. It just has a neat story. It's a little on the "just for girls" side, but it's good for us guys who don't mind watching girl movies. Your kids are going to love this one. Oh, didn't I mention it's for the kids?!
