Summary: "Enchanted", delightful fantasy
Comment: I bought this originally in VHS. Loved it so that I bought it on DVD. What a great movie for ALL ages. I watch it with my two grandaughters and watch it even alone. Absolutely a must see to transport you to a place where witches really exist. Luke was adorable and so lucky to have a wonderful grandmother to take care of him. She had her own experience with a witch when she was a child. Anjelica Houston was great and I cannot say enough about this fairtale-like presentation. Five stars!

Summary: EXCELLENT MOVIE
Comment: Everything about this movie is first rate.The acting is A+, especially with a strong performance by Anjelica Huston leading the way.The plot however differs a bit from the book.However, I STRONGLY recommend this movie.My only regret is that I waited a long time to see it.Since I bought the DVD I have seen it multiple times.IMHO, the DVD is missing a making of featurette.

Summary: Excellent Young or Old
Comment: Angelica Huston, Jim Henson, and Roald Dahl all contribute to this fantasy masterpiece.
Angelica Huston is stunning and ghastly as Eva Ernst and the Grand High Witch, thanks to the puppetry and special effects of genius Jim Henson. And the whole story is based on the lovely children's literature of Roald Dahl. What a combination!!
The story of a curious boy who, while at a holiday resort, becomes embroiled in a coven of witches who plot to destroy as many children as possible!!
It is a great film for children and adults alike. Highly recommend.

Summary: Surprisingly enjoyable movie
Comment: I ran across this movie title completely by accident. I was glancing through a list of what was on sale. I stopped and read the description, and when I saw that Angelica Houston was in it, and figured it couldn't be too bad.
I enjoyed it very much, first of all, it is not animated, and the special effects were quite good. A great movie for all ages. This movie will not scare little children, and it ends happily too.
Anyway, it was most entertaining and I would recommend it.

Summary: A Movie Everybody Will Love
Comment: Witches is a fantacy which is fast moving and delightful to watch. The actors and actresses had as much fun making this picture as the viewers of the picture. The High Witch herself won an academy award for her part in the picture. In the end, all is restored to normal (for the humans at least).
