Rating: Summary: Definately not 'a bunch of 'Hocus Pocus' Review: This is one of my favorite movies of all time, although it would probablly not be on my top ten list if I had seen it now, as I teenager, I loved it when I first saw it. I rented this movie for my one of my birthday parties, probablly a two or three years after it came out (my 7th or 8th birthday), and about 5 birthdays after that one. It soon became a classic, me, along with all myr friends, came to know it by heart. It also fit perfectlly with the time of year (my birthday is October 25th). I think that "Hocus Pocus" is the best non-horrific films of all time, and I would deffinately recommend it to anyone.
Rating: Summary: Hocus Pocus Review: This is a great movie for 10-12 years olds! Love Bette Midler!
Rating: Summary: Funny and action-packed!!! Review: Surprisingly this movie did terrible in the theatres, but it really does make an excellent television movie. The three witches were hilarious and very excitingly troublesome, as they seek revenge 300 years after their hanging after being resurrected. This is a wonderful halloween movie... may scare some of the very young kids... not my mischevious little girls, but parents may want to watch it first to see if it's not too much for their little ones. There are a few parts that I think are questionable. However, this may be the reason this movie bombed out, as 90% of it is more interesting for the very young kids... then the other 10% is a little too much (or too scary) for them. I would recommend parents to watch first, may be better for about 8 yrs and up... but may seem to childish to them.
Rating: Summary: Great Fun ! ! ! Review: This movie is such a nice fantasy. To me it seemed more like a comedy, especially funny was Bette Midler! I also liked the song the blond "Witch" sang. They are so funny. I think this is a movie worth watching because it's funny and it has a great story line that it follows. The beggining of the movie was kind of sad but the rest of it is so funny. (Why did the "Witches" have to die?)
Rating: Summary: Hocus Pocus....The DVD I've been waiting for!! Review: After quite a few Years, Walt Disney's "Hocus Pocus" has finally been released on DVD. I was quite disapointed to find that there are NO SPECIAL FEATURES, but with the DVD presented in Widescreen and 5:1 Dolby Surround sound, It almost makes up for it. (I can't believe they couldn't even include the Movie Trailer!) Common Disney, re-release this DVD again and include the Numorous Deleted scenes, like The Supermarket Sequence, The Swimming Pool Sequence, ect ect., and how about including the Documentary of the Making of the special effects of Hocus Pocus that was shown on the Dicovery Channel back in 1994? Common Disney, you can do better than this DVD!!!
Rating: Summary: A Classic Halloween Film! Review: I got my Hocus Pocus DVD from Amazon today. Although, unfortunately, there are no extras on the disc. The picture is widescreen. This allows you to see more on the ends that are cut out on vhs's full screen format. The sound is fantastic 5.1 Surround Sound Dolby and, on my Bose system, it's wonderful. Bette's "I'll Put A Spell On You" and "Sarah's Theme" are so much more enhanced to hear. Also, Binx's shadow is the pointer to the menu. If you move Binx to the chapters, they are displayed on tombstones. It's about time we got it on dvd even if Disney didn't enhance it with Entertainment Tonight's Making of Hocus Pocus, that I saw just before the film came out, deleted scenes or even a trailer. The film is definitly 5 stars. Due to Disney's lack of support with any extras, Disney gets a 1 star for insensitivity to the fans. Nevertheless, buy it for the picture and sound.
Rating: Summary: Wickedly witchy and crafty Review: BOO knows what spooks and scares Halloween night has in store for Salem, Massachusetts, in the year 1993. It is 300 years after the notorious hanging of the Sanderson Sisters, three witches doomed to spend an eternity in darkness unless a virgin lights the Black Flame candle. A sceptic 'new kid on the block', Max Dennison (Omri Katz), flanked by a classmate Allison (Vinessa Shaw) and his younger sibling Dani Dennison (Thora Birch), in an audacious act, lights the candle and revives the Sanderson Sisters. Guided by an enchanted black cat Thakary Binx, the struggle is on as they embark on a journey to prevent the witches from gaining immortality until sunrise. A marvellous masterpiece by Kenny Ortega, 'Hocus Pocus' is jocular, fast-paced and frivolous, with plenty of sorcery and witchcraft to entertain a multitude of viewers, any audience, at any time. With superb antics and endearing, humorous themes, 'Hocus Pocus' is guaranteed to enchant its audience into a fantastical world, with the added bonus of 'dead man's toes' and 'rat tails', to ultimately cast its spell and make even the most sceptic viewer believe in the hocus pocus of Halloween night.
Rating: Summary: THE BEST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!! Review: The first time i saw this movie, i fell in luv with it!!! It is my favorite movie of all time! I think its soooo funny how the 3 witches, from the 1600's, are brought back to life in the 20'th century!

I JUST LOVE IT!!!!! And you won't be waisting your money. IT IS A GREAT MOVIE!!! (i think i'll say that again!) IT IS A GREAT MOVIE!!! And i hope that someday they will have a sequel 2 it. And they need to make commercials saying that there will be a dvd coming out for it. WELL, WHOEVER MADE THIS MOVIE UP... GrEaT JoB!!!!!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: YES!! Finally it's coming out on DVD! Review: I've already written a review for "Hocus Pocus", but I'm just here to say that I'm so happy that they are FINALLY releasing this movie out on DVD! It's one of my favorite Halloween movies--Sarah Jessica Parker and Bette Midler are especially great in this one! It's funny, spooky, and wacky all at the same time! They'd better make a good DVD...with lots of special features. I am definitely planning to pre-order my very own copy of the "Hocus Pocus" DVD as soon as I find out the special features that will be added to the DVD. If there are no special features, then I will just keep my VHS tape (okay...so perhaps I'll still buy the DVD!:). But anyway, if you love "Hocus Pocus", you'll definitely be glad to know that this Disney classic is finally coming out on DVD! Can't wait!!
