Kelly R. said:  In this film adaptation of the spooky book (adjusted for a happier ending much to the dismay of Roald Dahl), a boy discovers a convention of witches and tries to thwart their plans to turn children into mice. Anjelica Huston is superb as the Grand High Witch. This was the last film that Jim Henson worked on, and the incredible makeup and puppetry might be scary for younger viewers.

Kelly R. said:  An imaginative and delightfully weird movie where a teenage girl has to rescue her baby brother from a Goblin King (David Bowie) in a fantasy world loaded with amazing Muppet puppetry.
