The Little Witch

I have children that range from infants to late teens, and the whole movie loves this movie. There is nothing in it to offend even the most sensitive people. It is fun and cheeky, in a way that only the Germans can pull off... and no I am not German. Words cannot do this movie justice so I will just say, watch it... you'll love it.

I wanted to give this film a low star rating but that hardly seems fair. The film itself is beautifully made. Effects, costumes, locations etc are all truly wonderful. The acting is great and the lead role is played beautifully. What lets the film down for a non-German speaking English person is the awful American dubbing. The actors doing this are DIRE. Watch the film in German with English subtitles. It's magic (pun intended).

Decent watch, probably won't watch again, but can recommend for first time viewers, particularly young ones.

I found another weirdly dubbed German movie. Despite that, the story itself is endearing, but I think there is something of a cultural perspective on witches that I'm missing as an American.

Our witch stories tend to use more of Kleine's type, but the old world leans towards old, warty, children eating witches.

If nothing else, then there is a palatable moral quandry in this that makes for a good moral.

Old world charm in this magical story of what it means to be good and evil always lose. Great cinematography, great acting , wonderful music. Fun for the family.

Just watched this with my 11 yr old and we loved it! Loved the characters and the set was just full of so much to see. Cgi was pretty good and special effects makeup was spot on. I would actually be happy to sit through this again without moaning about it!
