The Little Witch

Lovely little movie about a little witch but ironically she becomes a big witch in the end.real nice movie for kids not too many scary bits and a real lovely ending worth a watch.

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!

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.

I haven't read any of the books on which this is based but the film by itself is wonderful, inoffensive fun. I wish there were more films like this one. Although there are no in-jokes or sly winks to adults, we can enjoy this one too. Just forget your jaded skepticism for a while and go for the ride. The cinematography, set design, costumes, in fact all of the art design in this film is exemplary. It really conjures up the old german folk & fairy stories that I for one remember reading as a child. This little gem deserves a wide audience & if it's internet presence is anything to go by, it doesn't have one yet. I can only offer the strongest encouragement to the makers of this non hollywood fare & hope they are able to keep making movies of this caliber. The english dubbing on the version I enjoyed was a better than usual job as well..

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).
