(Continue from my previous post) There was a scene where there was some guard distracted by some naked girl in some lady( her hair was covering her boobs) The guard who enter the lake and as he get closer the girl would be at the same distance. It was some trick for the guard. Again i barely recall this i was very young.Be helpful if someone can mention the name or some kind of clue to the movie.
You guys remember a movie where there was a princess in some duck/swan armor. Her other sisters had unique armor as well. It's an old movie/s around the same time this movie came out on tv. It had a trilogy. It had a talking swan/duck. I recall some witch who was the villain in the first movie but later she became good. 1 scene I remember was there was a ginger bread/candy prison and the witch and the princess had to eat their way through.Sounds like im high but i vaguely remember it.
strangely the face ripping off left no impression on me. the book and movie made me realise that the parents of the witches victims would have no clue whst happened to thier child. if my kids got transmogrifyed (Ty Calvin) i woukd never know. which is the real tradgedy. imagine if thier plot had worked. imagine the news report of both a mice plague and every british child vanishing at the same time. Madness! and someone would put it together.
This movie scared the crap out of me when I used to watch it as a kid. I never forgot how it made me feel, it was pretty freaking scary, I remember I couldn't sleep for days!! Now I wanna watch it for halloween and see how it feels like to watch it again as a grown up, just watching the trailer it still pretty freaky!
I wouldn't say this movie scared me but it creeper me out. I read the book, I can't explain it but I can't forget this movie,It left an impression on me. If your curious read the book. Its really short imo and it gives more insight into the witches.
@Swinship Same here. I wasn't really scared of the movie, I was only creeped out by them ripping their faces off and the suspense when they zoomed into their faces.

@thetoon99 , no but as a child she was hurt by the grand high with thats why she thinks that when she sees her she looks familiar also shes missing a finger
That was always my biggest fear as a child, being turned into a mouse and not being able to find my way home. Brings memories of the nightmares I had when I was little.
@glodsbride86 Of course. But Jim Henson brought Dahl's images to life with his special effects wizardry. The imaginations of both men were important to the film.
@glodsbride86 Well, I heard Roald dahl hated this film because they changed the story and that he wanted nothing to do with it, so i'm guessing that's why
i reread this book every year or so, i just read it again this weekend. it is far better than the movie although the movie is pretty accurate. all roald dahl books are better than the movies, but they do a decent job at keeping them pretty true to the books. he really should've stayed a mouse as he did in the book, that's what makes the last ending great.
@NintendexF8000 Oooohhhh. That's the good witch. :D I was surprised to see her too. I think she was a witch from America or a good witch that was hiding in the hotel or what... XD
@CandyCaneKitten See the movie again. She was the Grand High Witch's servant who got pissed off because she was told to NOT go to their special dinner and thus she quit.
@lavenderblossom I remember renting this and watching it with my siblings when i was little. luckily my little brother and i were roommates, we were both really scared and our beds weren't too far apart. otherwise i don't think i would have slept that night.
hehehhehe, I named my cat "liption" after this movie, I wanted a pure black kitty ever since I saw it, 20 + years ago (i'm only 30) and I finally got my black kitty in 2000, and named her "liption" hehehehe =)
when I first read the book and watched this, I took it as a warning. I seriously thought witches were real and had a plan in place if I ever came into contact with them.
Anyone ever watched wINNIE THE pOO\H, tOO sMART fOR sTRANGERS?
My mom made me watch that a hundred times and i hated it.
I watched this just once and i never stopped looking.
If you want your kids to stay the hell away from people you don't know, show them this movie late at night just before they go to bed. They'll never forget it.
roald dahl also didn't like the original willy wonka... but ht liked the terrible johnny depp one... so sometimes you need to take him with a grain of salt. although i did buy a copy of true grit at the used bookstore because of roald's little review on the back. i thought that was neat, and i'd like to read it before the coen brother's movie remake this december
@mohorta oh right, well then it must've been his wife that i read said it was more along the lines of the original. that might be true, that it was more along lines of the book, but i can't imagine it have ever being, i don't know, "definitive" i guess
At last I found it.I forgot the name of the movie.When I was around 7 or 8 my father brought the movie for us.It was my first hollywood movie.Really happy to get my past back.ha ha ha.................
I TINK THE SCARIEST PART IS WHEN LUKE IS IN THE TREE AND WOMAN APPEARS WITH A BAR OF CHOCOLATE AND HER EYES ARE PURPLE ,LUKE SHOUTS GRANDMA,AND THE WITCH SAYS SHE CANT HEAR YOU VERY CREEPY BUT BRIALLIANT FILM IVE 5 KIDS OF MY OWN NOW AND THEY ALL LOVE IT 2
I love magic and I asked my mother when I was four years old to buy me a witch movie to watch with my sister for weekend. She had no idea about magic and she asked the merchant of the shop for a childish witch movie. The merchant was so fool to suggest this movie to my mom. After I watched it I couldnpt sleep for over a month!!!! Now I found it an excellent movie. :)
That movie was the the crepiest movie i had ever seen i was so scared i am only almost 14 and so when i watched this in the 90's I LOVED IT but soooooo creepy!
there is alot of differences between the movie and the book, like in the movie, Formula 86 Delayed action Mousemake is found in the book, while in the book, the formula is found under the Grand High Witch's bed.
i remember when this was on T.V. it was my favourite movie as a kid, but when it cut to ads they head witches eyes would come up, and THAT gave me chills, does anyone know where i can find that picture of her eyes?
i love this moviee!!!.....but it scared the shit out of me when i was little lol.....my mom use to tell me if i didnt behave good a witch was ganna come after me... O_O.... i was sooo scared when i finished watching this movie hahaha
Any of you remember a movie around the same year about 3 kids who go in a house and find a lamp which realeses some kind of evil geanie,i think the find a treasure and the indian kid gets bitten by the creature at the end and the creature dies
@jon213456 it STILL scares me. But I agree. It's great. Wish there were more movies like this one. Scary and funny and the kind of movie that holds up over the years.
@jon213456 I know right! when my friend and I were watching he told me dude you are going to get scared at the witchs I was like nah, but then oh my god it was horrible!
I agree. I could never fully watch the transformation scenes (Bruno, Luke, and the Witches) without getting nightmares for weeks. *shudders* They just downright freaked me out!
My Brother, who ironically has the same name as the main character, would always stretch his ears out (to make them look mouse-like) and do high-pitched squeaks/squeals just to make me squirm... and it worked, too.
Roald Dahl apparently hated the movie. He didn't want anyone to watch it and he used to stand outside of cinemas with a megaphone telling people to go watch something else. I <3 Roald Dahl.
In my opinion the ending of the movie makes the movie into something the book is not, therefore I feel they are no longer the same story. The ending changes the theme completely, which is accepting your faith and do the best with what you've got.
But either way, the movie is scary and Anjelica is cool!
@cloudylemon11 Well, yes. I loved this film when I was a kid, haven't seen it since then. But Anjelica Huston was wonderful in it. Still, I agree with you, they changed it completely in the end.
@A74893 yes, but he stays a mouse (although i admit, i didn't know that they had any upward spin on it)......... anyway, i think cloudylemon11 confused this film with the 1st Chocolate Factory film- which Dahl apparently stormed out of near the beginning (about 30 minutes in-i think it was the peppy music numbers that especially aggravated him)
@cloudylemon11 i love the book and love this movie but i totally agree with you the ending is horriable becuase in the book he stays as a mouse and goes witch hunting with his grandma but in the movie he becomes a boy in the ending which didnt make any sense so i think you should watch the movie and then read the book to see how the movie did a good job kepping to the material in the book except for the horriable ending! stiil grat book and movie!!!!!!!!!
@TheMusicShrine Well of course YOU think that. The majority of Americans only care about their own affairs, with little regards for global affairs, and they expect us to kiss the ground you walk on.
@ecermusic To me, America was always synonymous with arrogance, and immaturity . Maybe because it's a young country, it has a LOT of growing up to do. Sadly it never grew past the rebellious sibling stage. It doesn't want to listen to it's elders, thinks it's always right, and doesn't know how to pick it's fights. It's also the country that insists I call myself Native American, and embrace the government that almost slaughtered my race. America is really something special. *sarcasm*
@mmecharlotte Hahaha. I'm not American. But when I was a kid, it really irritated me because my parents taught me the Australian spelling/pronunciation of words, and other kids would say "zee-bra" and "zee" instead of "zed" and spell "mom" instead of "mum". We also have to hear so much about American celebrities and music, when Australian music is generally better, but hardly anyone in America know Birds of Tokyo and Angus and Julia Stone.
@ecermusic I know, I read your previous comment. :) Ah, and that's another pet peeve of mine, Americanization. The rest of the world got along fine without American English, and yet they believe their way is the ONLY way of speaking. Simply because they're too lazy to learn another language or realize their English is a bastardized version of England's English. And I blame the biased media here for not promoting anything other than American music. Good thing the internet has solved that gap.
@mmecharlotte You know what's a pet peeve of mine. Generalization(s) and Stereotyping. Why do humans make generalizations about everything...other cultures...other countries...other nationalities...other races? I'm American but I love the British English accent. I almost wish I had an English accent, either that or maybe American Southern or Irish/Scottish. Just because something is different from you, doesn't mean you must hate it. But I'm probably just talking to myself. I <3 this film.
@mmecharlotte Well, you know. I agree with you, America sucks in that respect! There's still a lot of racism, bigotry ect. Not to mention what America was built on...it's very sad. But we are all still individuals, no one is without blame in this world and hate never accomplished anything. Oh, and also, I love this film. XD
I know, we watched this in school when I was in 2nd grade.. Or at least some of us watched it. My mom didn't let me see it after I started having nightmares when I had watched like twenty minutes of it.. :P
Definitely Roald Dahl's best story, by far. And as far as the controversy about how the ending was changed and made too upbeat, I think it works. Sometimes what works in a book doesn't always work as well on film and I think it was a smart and necessary change.
Oh for the love of GOD!!! Please don't remake this.

I agree. I could never fully watch the transformation scenes (Bruno, Luke, and the Witches) without getting nightmares for weeks. *shudders* They just downright freaked me out!
My Brother, who ironically has the same name as the main character, would always stretch his ears out (to make them look mouse-like) and do high-pitched squeaks/squeals just to make me squirm... and it worked, too.

Roald Dahl apparently hated the movie. He didn't want anyone to watch it and he used to stand outside of cinemas with a megaphone telling people to go watch something else. I <3 Roald Dahl.
In my opinion the ending of the movie makes the movie into something the book is not, therefore I feel they are no longer the same story. The ending changes the theme completely, which is accepting your faith and do the best with what you've got.
But either way, the movie is scary and Anjelica is cool!
cloudylemon11 2 years ago 28
I love the movie, too but although Roahl Dahl didn't like what Henson did, he really had no say about it once it became a movie.
audgeyp 2 years ago 2
@cloudylemon11 Well, yes. I loved this film when I was a kid, haven't seen it since then. But Anjelica Huston was wonderful in it. Still, I agree with you, they changed it completely in the end.

@cloudylemon11 He would have had a job as it was released in 1990- he died that year, i believe that it was just after he died that it was released.
This is your way of telling us YOU don't like it. No need to make up a silly story!!

@cloudylemon11 Roald Dahl died before this film hit theatres along with Jim Henson- his main problem was the "happy ending"

@sayastra it is a happy ending in the book too but they just made this some chessy hollywood stuff!
A74893 1 year ago
@A74893 yes, but he stays a mouse (although i admit, i didn't know that they had any upward spin on it)......... anyway, i think cloudylemon11 confused this film with the 1st Chocolate Factory film- which Dahl apparently stormed out of near the beginning (about 30 minutes in-i think it was the peppy music numbers that especially aggravated him)
sayastra 1 year ago
@cloudylemon11 i love the book and love this movie but i totally agree with you the ending is horriable becuase in the book he stays as a mouse and goes witch hunting with his grandma but in the movie he becomes a boy in the ending which didnt make any sense so i think you should watch the movie and then read the book to see how the movie did a good job kepping to the material in the book except for the horriable ending! stiil grat book and movie!!!!!!!!!

@TheMusicShrine Well of course YOU think that. The majority of Americans only care about their own affairs, with little regards for global affairs, and they expect us to kiss the ground you walk on.
Australia > America
ecermusic 11 months ago
@ecermusic To me, America was always synonymous with arrogance, and immaturity . Maybe because it's a young country, it has a LOT of growing up to do. Sadly it never grew past the rebellious sibling stage. It doesn't want to listen to it's elders, thinks it's always right, and doesn't know how to pick it's fights. It's also the country that insists I call myself Native American, and embrace the government that almost slaughtered my race. America is really something special. *sarcasm*
mmecharlotte 11 months ago
@mmecharlotte Hahaha. I'm not American. But when I was a kid, it really irritated me because my parents taught me the Australian spelling/pronunciation of words, and other kids would say "zee-bra" and "zee" instead of "zed" and spell "mom" instead of "mum". We also have to hear so much about American celebrities and music, when Australian music is generally better, but hardly anyone in America know Birds of Tokyo and Angus and Julia Stone.
ecermusic 11 months ago
@ecermusic I know, I read your previous comment. :) Ah, and that's another pet peeve of mine, Americanization. The rest of the world got along fine without American English, and yet they believe their way is the ONLY way of speaking. Simply because they're too lazy to learn another language or realize their English is a bastardized version of England's English. And I blame the biased media here for not promoting anything other than American music. Good thing the internet has solved that gap.
mmecharlotte 11 months ago
@mmecharlotte You know what's a pet peeve of mine. Generalization(s) and Stereotyping. Why do humans make generalizations about everything...other cultures...other countries...other nationalities...other races? I'm American but I love the British English accent. I almost wish I had an English accent, either that or maybe American Southern or Irish/Scottish. Just because something is different from you, doesn't mean you must hate it. But I'm probably just talking to myself. I <3 this film.
inmisekona 10 months ago
@mmecharlotte Well, you know. I agree with you, America sucks in that respect! There's still a lot of racism, bigotry ect. Not to mention what America was built on...it's very sad. But we are all still individuals, no one is without blame in this world and hate never accomplished anything. Oh, and also, I love this film. XD

Definitely Roald Dahl's best story, by far. And as far as the controversy about how the ending was changed and made too upbeat, I think it works. Sometimes what works in a book doesn't always work as well on film and I think it was a smart and necessary change.
