From the great Muppet creator Jim Henson comes this classic bursting with enchantment and adventure. Academy Award winner Anjelica Huston stars as the Grand High Witch in this fable of a nine-year-old boy who must foil the plans of a society of witches to turn the world's children into mice. It won't be easy: they've already transformed him into one.

Oldie but a goodie that's for sure!
A fantastic great family movie, tells the story of a little boy who is turned into a mouse by these ugly witches who are disguised as humans. The witches plan on doing something evil, so he goes on a mission to stop them! I definitely recommend watching this and adding this to your DVD collection!

I absolutely love this movie. Angelica Huston is amazing as the grand High witch! The makeup is absolutely well done you can't even believe how well it looks. They really did well with the story and they gave it a really great ending. Definitely a great Halloween watch! I watch it every year.

This movie is an interesting and delightfully wicked "Cult Classic" based on Roald Dahl's children's book of the same name.
This movie is an interesting and delightfully wicked "Cult Classic" based on the Roald Dahl classic of the same name. It's about woman and her pre-teen, orphaned grandson who take a room at a seaside hotel. Among the guests are a group of women set to attend a convention. The guests are unaware that the group of women who are to attend the convention are actually witches. The grandson ends up chasing his escaped pet mouse into the convention hall just as the disguised witches assemble into the room, locking the door behind them, not knowing the boy is hidden behind a folding screen inadvertently trapping him in with them. While hidden it's there he learns the ulterior motive of the convention. Witches hate children and plan to kill them by spiking food with a formula that turns all those who consume it into mice. While hidden in the room, the grandson watches as all the witches remove their wigs exposing itchy, wart covered bald heads. he then sees the grand high witch (Angelica Huston) transform from a beautiful human form, into her actual form, a hideous, hairless creature. The witches, who despise the smell of children discover the boy and transform him into a mouse that then escapes the room and somehow gets back up to his room and warns his grandmother. The rest of the show deals with the grandmother and grandson trying to stop the witches and ends with the boy being able to transform back into his human body. This movie can be a little intense and I'd advise parents and guardians to keep that in mind if they allow kids under 8 years old to watch this movie.
