From Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to The Wizard of Oz, many
classic tales through the centuries wouldn't be half as exciting without the
devious doings of a witch. Now add another to the venerable tradition of stories
that deliver family fun every witch way, a collaboration combining the effects
wizardry of executive producer Jim Henson and the imagination of Willy Wonka
creator Roald Dahl. *** In Nicolas Roeg's adaptation of Roald Dahl's novel The Witches, a young boy is vacationing at the seaside with his grandmother when he discovers that the hotel he is staying at is hosting a convention of witches. Eavesdropping on the witches, he learns that the Grand High Witch (Anjelica Huston) has devised a plan to turn all of the children in England into mice. With creature-effects by Jim Henson's Creature Shop, The Witches was the last film Henson worked on before passing away in 1990. Excerpt from B+N located HERE |
