Summary: Absolutely Excellent!!!
Review: Hocus Pocus is a excellent movie, and when I watched it I thought one of the witches was going to pop out from behind the couch(you know what I mean)!!! Even though the witches are scary they can also be pretty funny! My favorite witch: is the main one who has red hair. My favorite scene: is when the witch with black hair all piled up on her head can't find a broom to ride so she uses a vacuum cleaner!!!!!!

Summary: Almost Better Than the Amanda Show
Review: This movie is probably the single most insightful and beautiful film ever created. I am sure the writers were divinely inspired by some otherworldy force. The music is so beautiful it made me want to cry- example- when Sarah Jessica Parker sings her song, "Come Little Children". That song made inspired me to ride my broom into the moonlight and sing it over the beautiful Manhattan cityscape. Children actually followed!! I am completely flabbergasted by the fact that this movie was ignored by the Academy.

Summary: Wacky Witches Wreak Havoc
Review: Absolutely my favorite Halloween flick, hands down! These witches have their "hang ups" from the start in this hillarious Halloween comedy about three sisters who are attempting to fulfill the curse they cast on the townsfolk of Salem, Massachusetts three hundred years ago. Now finding themselves in the twentieth century, they set out to wreak havoc once again with their spooky spells and pick up where they left off. However, they've hit a slight snag. They have come back to find their home is now a tourist attraction, Winnie's book of spells has been stolen and they are no longer feared but are nothing more than a colorful urban legend. Determined to regain the Book of Spells and carry out their wicked deed before daybreak, they end up getting into the most hillarious of circumstances as they continually get outwitted by three resourceful kids who are determined to foil their wicked plans. But the clock is ticking...who will win? Salem or the Witches? Cameo performances by Penny Marshall and Frank Marshall add more spice to an already delightful film. Loaded with frightening holiday favorites like graveyards, ghouls, jack o'lanterns and moonlight broom rides. This whimsical film has also combined the stunning and beautiful Fall scenery of small town America celebrating this fun and festive holiday. It is sure to delight all veiwers. It also packs a great soundtrack with tunes performed by the divine Miss M herself and a haunting melody sung by Sara Jessica Parker. You can expect all the of chills and thrills of a great spooktacular film plus all the laughter of a hillarious comedy all rolled into one. It's also NIGHTMARE FREE for the kiddies! Disney proves once again that spooky and fun can win out over gory and gross anytime!

Summary: Terrific Halloween Disney fun!
Review: Though some Pagons and Wiccans may find "Hocus Pocus" to be insulting to their religion, it is really not. It is just another little harmless Disney gem that was meant to entertain. And boy, did it EVER! PLOT SUMMARY: The story of "Hocus Pocus" revolves around the three evil witches--Winifred (Bette Midler), Sarah (Sarah Jessica Parker), and Mary (Kathy Najimy) Sanderson of Colonial Salem, Massachusetts. They are hung to death by the townspeople after they supposibly killed a young girl and her older brother, Thackery Binks. But in reality, they sucked the life out of the young girl to make themselves younger and more beautiful, and turned Thackery into a black cat. Right before they died however, they promised the townspeople that they would come back to life and suck all the lives out of children in Salem when a virgin lights the black candle in their home. Flashfoward to preasent day, Salem. Max Dennison (Omri Katz) is a rebellious teenager who recently moved to the town with his family from Los Angeles. On Halloween night, Max is forced to take his kid sister, Dani (a young Thora Birch), out trick-or-treating. While out (and after being bullied by some neighborhood guys), Max and Dani arrive at a very large house. It happens to be the home of Allison (Vinessa Shaw), Max's new crush. In school that day, Max and Allison's teacher told them the story of the Sanderson sisters, which Max didn't believe. To impress Allison, Max suggests that they go to the home of the Sanderson sisters so he can light the black candle and prove that the story is false. Both Allison and Dani, who strongly believe in the story, agree to go. Once at the Sanderson house, Max is about to light the candle when they are stopped by a strange black cat who can talk--it's Thackery Binks, who warns Max not to light the candle. Max, however, ignores Thackery and lights it anyway, bringing the sisters back to life so they can finish their sinister scheme. Now, it's up to Max, Allison, Dani, and Thackery to finish the sisters off once and for all. MY OVERALL THOUGHTS: I found this film extremely hilarious and entertaining as a kid, and I still do today. Excellent acting performances by the entire cast--Midler, Parker, and Najimy are particular standouts, as well as Katz. The special effects are great, and there's a wonderful storyline. The music is haunting, too. Wish I could find the soundtrack CD. Though slightly predictable, it is still a lot of fun. The DVD lacks though, big-time. Only drawback--should have added special features, at least a trailer or commentary track. If you want thrills and laughs on Halloween, look no further than "Hocus Pocus"! The DVD is available in wide screen format. I highly recommend "Hocus Pocus". Score:
100/100

Summary: Not good for Witches but it is good for laughs.
Review: If you want a true representation of Witches then don't watch this movie! However, if camp, fun and laughs is what you're after then give it a go. It's just scary enough for the entire family, so you won't have to put the children to bed first. In fact, children will identify with the heroes. Please do, however, explain the truth about Witches to them before you watch it so that they'll understand this is FICTION. Even though it's so bad for the Craft, I still love it. A guilty pleasure perhaps?

Summary: For a pagan this movie is hideous
Review: If you are a pagan looking for a good movie for your children this movie is not it! I can't imagine making the Salem Witch trials an object of fun. If you want something good to watch buy the British/ Canadian series called the "Worst Witch" or watch Harry Potter again. This is just another Disney demonizing of witches and /or pagan. It's no wonder they had a lot of problems on set filming this movie or that at the time it came out the pagans in Los Angeles held major protests. Avoid this movie its not fun in the least.

Summary: Delicious fun:
Review: Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy strut their stuff in this outlandish Walt Disney Picture. The three witches are brought back to life from 17th century Salem by some unsuspecting kids. It's a night full of comic chaos when the tricky 300 year old trio set out to 'put a spell' on the town and reclaim their youth.
Filled with outrageous comedy and a haunting score. Guaranteed to entertain everyone!
