Product Description
You're in for a devil of a time when three outlandishly wild witches -- Bette Midler (BEACHES, BIG BUSINESS), Sarah Jessica Parker (HONEYMOON IN VEGAS), and Kathy Najimy (SISTER ACT) -- return from 17th century Salem after they're accidentally conjured up by some unsuspecting pranksters! It's a night full of zany fun and comic chaos once the tricky 300-year-old trio sets out to cast a spell on the town and reclaim their youth -- but first they must get their act together and outwit three kids and a talking cat! Loaded with bewitching laughs, HOCUS POCUS is an outrageously wild comedy that's sure to entertain everyone!

This big, fat theatrical bomb has a lot going for it. There's the three leads, Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker, playing three resurrected witches who wreak havoc on Salem, Massachusetts, 300 hundred years after they were hung. There's music, special effects, and magic. There's a surprisingly horror-filled plot. Whoops, hold up on that last one. It's probably the extremes that this film goes to (displaying a Disney label), such as the witches sucking the life out of a little girl in the first five minutes, that put the brakes on any success for Hocus Pocus. Older children, however, in the 8 and up range should get a kick out of all the weird goings-on. It's a good measure of Halloween thrills and chills. --Keith Simanton

5 out of 5 stars Hocus Pocus   November 20, 2009
P. C. Pinkston (Martinez, Ca)
Purchased this for a Halloween "Family" movie night for a group of volunteers and their families. This was such a funny movie and was perfect for Halloween. Can't believe Sarah Jessica Parker was in it! Not to scary for the young ones but us oldies enjoyed it also. Can't go wrong with Disney.

B. Haas (Raleigh, NC)
This has been a FAVORITE movie of our family since it came out.
The story is fun, the acting is great, and you can really watch it at any
time, not just for Halloween. Bette Midler is priceless in this film!



5 out of 5 stars Funny! A great Halloweeen movie for kids of all ages.   November 15, 2009
Debra Glass (Alabama)
This fabulous little movie is hilarious and touching. Kids of all ages will enjoy the Sanderson sisters antics and especially the talking black cat, Binx. NCIS fans will recognize Binx's human alter ego!
