The Witches

[Sezjeuric]

Crawled out of bed this afternoon after getting back fom the airport at 6:30am. I was scrolling through my TV and came across the 1990 movie The Witches. Have any of you seen this movie?

I watched it in elementary school after reading the book, and now I have just realized how campy it is, yet for 1990, Jim Henson did a brilliant job of animating the cutest mice I have ever seen. It is a shame this was the last film he touched before passing.

The make up on Anjelica Huston as a witch blows me away too.

I loved it as a kid, and I still enjoy it now whenever it's on tv.

Dear god, it's spreading!

I liked the book better than the movie. We read it in the 5th grade for school and the teacher would do voices because she liked it so much.

I think my teacher did witch voices too. I thought it was grade 5 or 6 that I had read it but couldn't remember. Roald Dahl is an amazing writer.

We read it in the 6th grade. I also had a teacher from England who would do voices and had the accent too. I'll never forget her going red in the face screaming "Reeemmoooooof your SHOES!"

We all know you cried with joy when the kids turned back to normal.
