Summary: This RULES!!
Review: Okay, Hocus Pocus is one of the most EXTREME shows!! It's the best thing since Due South, A Goofy Movie, and Donny & Marie Osmond!! It's great fun for all ages, and if you want to be analytical, you can check out the similarities between it and the TV series Eerie, Indiana. Anybody else find it a little weird? :)

Summary: Chuckles galore.
Review: I absolutely LOVE this cute Disney movie, as the Divine Miss M. as the wickedly funny Winnie Sanderson, the witch sister of two other witch sisters, Mary and Sarah (Kathy Najimy and "Sex In The City"'s Sarah Jessica Parker) are resurrected by naive teen (Omri Katz) and his cute little sister (Thora Birch) trying to impress a pretty girl (Vinessa Shaw) who lights a black flame. A little bit of belly laughs, but mostly chuckles. But what makes up for the humor is the hilarious hijinks that ensue when the sisters are resurrected-looking for young children to suck their youth from, so they can live forever. This cute Disney movie has sufficient humor. It also has a little romance, a teeny bit of horror, and genuine warmth are cleverly interwoven in this 93-minute movie. A obvious Halloween favorite. (Don't miss that musical interlude, where the Divine Ms. M sings the funny "I Put A Spell On You." It obviously does put a little spell on you.) You can also see it on HBO and Cinemax. Rated PG for mild language and some scary stuff.

Summary: Glorious For Anyone Who Loves Halloween
Review: If you grew up where I grew up, Halloween was THE biggest event of the year - and all these (45) years later, I still love the sights, smells and spirit of that most magical night. In Hocus Pocus, you might not find true horror, blood and guts, body parts and roaming zombies (um, wait...), but you do feel the gorgeous allure of the season through the crunchy-leafed scenery, the equisite set design, costuming, innocence of youth and the somewhat corny (if not over-acted) witchy zeal of the wonderful Sanderson sisters. Okay, the plot wouldn't win a Pulitzer Prize, but for sheer fun and enjoyment, let Hocus Pocus transport you to a time and place where witches ruled and moms still impersonated Madonna in cone cupped bustiers. PS: Did I mention I have my own black cat named Zachary Binx?

Summary: Spectacular Hallowe'en Witch Hunt!
Review: It's hard to believe this movie wasn't an immediate success, because it is so enjoyable and is so well acted. The story begins in Old Salem with the execution of the Sanderson Sisters, three witches who, at the time of their execution, cast a spell to ensure that they will come back to life one Hallowe'en when a virgin lights the black candle. Enter one hapless teenage boy (Omri Katz) from California who has just moved to Salem, is not so happy that he has, and upon exploring the Sanderson house, lights the candle, and the adventure begins. The three witches, played by Bette Midler, Kathy Nijimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker, plot to lure the children of the town to concoct a potion to keep themselves young forever and thus live on while the one who brought them back to life, together with his sister and girl friend try to stop them and undo the spell.
While the story sounds not so much fun on paper, the action on the screen keeps the audience spellbound. The tension remains high, and there's plenty of entertainment along the way, including one song performed by Bette Midler at the Hallowe'en Ball. Great script with lots of unforgettable lines. Fun entertainment for the entire family.

Summary: A wonderful film, but not for young children
Review: I remember I saw this movie in the theatres when I was in my early 20s, alone. I noticed all the trailers on T.V. and that I love Bette that I wanted to see it. Was I glad that I did!!! I could not wait to get it on VHS. (DVD was not even thought of) I did not think the sucking the lives out of children was going over the top. I mean look at "THe Witches" w/ Angelica Houston, they turned the children into mice, and it was ment for family. Parents should always use caution when letting children wiew any movies, even from Disney. I dont have any of my own children, but I have a 3 year old nephew that I claim as mine. I let him watch this movie for the first time beginning of Oct. Thinking, to get him in the trick or treating mood. I don't think he caught on to the sucking the lives thing. I love lines that all the witches have. They seem like a female version of the 3 stooges. There is one line in the movie that I did not like at all. The scene where Whinnie is bossing around Billy (the zombie) and she says to him:
"Get up, get out of that ditch."
Billy says:"Go to Hell!"
Winnie says:"Oh I'v been there, thank you, I found it quite lovely."
perhaps, giving children the impression that hell is "quite lovely". I guess that line is to be expected coming from a "witch". Of course not all witch charactors refer to hell at all. Look at Samantha on Bewitched. I don't rembmer any time that hell was refered to as a great place to go.
However, back to HP, I think that this movie will stand the test of time and be good Halloween fun for all ages.

Summary: Hocus Pocus
Review: HOCUS POCUS offers wild, slapstick, enchanting Halloween fun. Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy and Sarah Jessica Parker star as the Sanderson Sisters, three of the whackiest witches you'll ever meet. A reversed curse brings them back from Old Salem to modern New England to continue their evil ways. But can they handle the twentieth century?
Bette Midler is at her very best with hilarious one-liners and facial expressions that will have you laughing uncontrollably! Najimy and Parker are equally zany in their supporting roles.

Review: What a wonderful story! Makes a person wonder, "Could this really happen?" LOL The characters are wonderful, played to the full effect of the movie! Bette Midler is hillarious with her little pursed lips, her hair, all of it! Just a wonderful movie to watch and to keep watching throughout the years, every All Hallow's Eve!
