Editorial Review:
Made in 1986. Like hocus pocus a bewitching tale of broomsticks and goblins. A family fantasy for all ages. Studio: Bfs Ent & Multimedia Limi Release Date: 08/24/2004 Starring: Diana Rigg Charlotte Rae Run time: 70 minutes Rating: G Director: Robert Young Iii
Description of The Worst Witch (The Movie):
Based on Jill Murphy's book, this charming movie is set in an English boarding school for witches--complete with orange and black school uniforms, broom-flying exercises, and potion assignments for lab. The incompetent student of the title, Mildred, is played by a fetching young Fairuza Balk. Diana Rigg is the nasty head teacher, Tim Curry the (oddly) idolized Grand Wizard, and TV's Facts of Life maven Charlotte Rae does double duty as the school's kindly dean and her evil witch twin, who's bent on taking over the school. Directed by Robert Young, this 68-minute video features less than state-of-the-art effects and several songs that stop the action--most bizarrely an outdoor assembly performance by Curry that turns into a weird music video. Still, preteen girls will identify with the beleaguered heroine who overcomes her wickedly snooty rival, a teacher who doesn't believe in her, and a band of dastardly witches and, of course, saves the day.

Love it!

Great movie 
2009-12-02 - This was one of my favourite movies as a kid, and it's still great fun to watch as an adult!
great video - lousy shipping time
2009-11-30 - The DVD was perfect. I paid for expedited shipping and it still took 15 days to receive it!!! So don't bother with the expedited shipping cost just go standard.
The Worst Witch
2009-11-27 - I grew up watching this movie and I loved it then. I am now a Pre-K Teacher and I bought this movie for my kids at school because we were talking about Halloween. The kids loved it and remembered it from my childhood. This move has music and is just fun to watch together with kids.

2009-11-18 - Was happy to have found a great copy of an old classic Halloween Holiday film. It hasn't been on the television for a few years and our Halloween just was not the same without it. Am looking forward and always happy to add to holiday collections.
