A classic film from the story of Roald Dahl. Love Rowan Atkinson in this, and Anjelica Huston is amazing!

A good film for kids before trick or treating, even if I didn't fall under its spell.

Not what I was expecting but I had fun. The witch makeup is great and the mouse stuff didn't look terrible.

No wonder this fabulous movie has become
a British cult classic.
It's so naughty and dark
and never could be recreated in such a way today,
and that makes me sad for the times we live in.
