DVD Reviews of The Worst Witch (The Movie)

DVD Review: It's 80's ridiculous fun!
Summary: 5 Stars

Oh what a film!

Talk about a good time for the whole family. I loved this movie as a child, and now I love it still.

Fairuza Balk is splendid as Mildred Hubble, the worst witch at her academy. She can never seem to do anything right, and others give her a hard time because of it.

The acting is pretty good, considering it is a children's film and the story is still easy to watch as you get older (it is not a syrupy story). The music is catchy, too.

And Tim Curry is awesome as the Grand Wizard, with quite possibly the best musical number and a ridulous 80s style video montage. Has anybody seen my tambourine?

Highly recommend!

DVD Review: Worst Witch
Summary: 4 Stars

Fabulous children's movie. Loved it as a child. Still love it, as an adult.
Mildred Hubble is the worst witch in her school. She can't do anything right. From making the wrong potion, falling off her broom, to turning her classmate into a pig, instead of a frog. She eventually decides to run away. But while running away, she over hears some evil witches plans to take over the school. Only Mildred can stop them. And it just may turn out that Mildred will become the best witch instead of the worst.

DVD Review: The Worst Witch: Remembering Childhood
Summary: 5 Stars

I have loved this movie for many years. It reminds me of how hard it is for a preteen girl to get along with others and to fit in. The mean girls (Ethel Hallow and her cohorts) and the nice girls (Maude and the others) make life for a poor misfit girl who is trying to make it at the Witches' Academy and become a very powerful witch pretty hard to live with. She does succeed in making everyone proud of her at the end, doesn't she.

I love this movie more than I can say. It is just such a heartwarming, funny movie.

Description of The Worst Witch (The Movie)

Based on Jill Murphy's book, this charming movie is set in an English boarding school for witches--complete with orange and black school uniforms, broom-flying exercises, and potion assignments for lab. The incompetent student of the title, Mildred, is played by a fetching young Fairuza Balk. Diana Rigg is the nasty head teacher, Tim Curry the (oddly) idolized Grand Wizard, and TV's Facts of Life maven Charlotte Rae does double duty as the school's kindly dean and her evil witch twin, who's bent on taking over the school. Directed by Robert Young, this 68-minute video features less than state-of-the-art effects and several songs that stop the action--most bizarrely an outdoor assembly performance by Curry that turns into a weird music video. Still, preteen girls will identify with the beleaguered heroine who overcomes her wickedly snooty rival, a teacher who doesn't believe in her, and a band of dastardly witches and, of course, saves the day. (Ages 6 and older) --Kimberly Heinrichs
