Based on Jill Murphy's book, this charming movie is set in an English boarding school for witches--complete with orange and black school uniforms, broom-flying exercises, and potion assignments for lab. The incompetent student of the title, Mildred, is played by a fetching young Fairuza Balk. Diana Rigg is the nasty head teacher, Tim Curry the (oddly) idolized Grand Wizard, and TV's Facts of Life maven Charlotte Rae does double duty as the school's kindly dean and her evil witch twin, who's bent on taking over the school. Directed by Robert Young, this 68-minute video features less than state-of-the-art effects and several songs that stop the action--most bizarrely an outdoor assembly performance by Curry that turns into a weird music video. Still, preteen girls will identify with the beleaguered heroine who overcomes her wickedly snooty rival, a teacher who doesn't believe in her, and a band of dastardly witches and, of course, saves the day. (Ages 6 and older) --Kimberly Heinrichs

 The Worst Witch November 27, 2009
Martha E. Withem (Phenix City, AL USA)
I grew up watching this movie and I loved it then. I am now a Pre-K Teacher and I bought this movie for my kids at school because we were talking about Halloween. The kids loved it and remembered it from my childhood. This move has music and is just fun to watch together with kids.

Was happy to have found a great copy of an old classic Halloween Holiday film. It hasn't been on the television for a few years and our Halloween just was not the same without it. Am looking forward and always happy to add to holiday collections.
Worst Witch- movie for kids, parents will love it!! November 17, 2009
S. A. EFFERTZ (Phx, AZ USA)
Had not seen this movie on cable or TV for many years.
My kids grew up in 80s..this was an annual favorite.
Recording equip of the time was not high quality and
had commercials. Now they can watch a clean (not subject matter, rather quality of view) whenever they want

I was looking for a cute show for a bunch of six and seven year old girls to watch at a Halloween Party. I purchased this quickly after reading the reviews. The kids were bored out of their minds! The quality is terrible (usually when older movies are brought to DVD they go through digital remastering, why didn't this??). There's a couple of cute songs, the acting is poor, the dialougue is boring and overall there's just not enough to keep kid's interest. If you think it was the kids fault's...I ended up turning on "Twitches" and they were laughing and completely mesmerized. I think this is best enjoyed by nostalgic adults that grew up with it as other reviewers have said (wish I would have kept that more in mind), but not so much for today's kids (honestly, TEN kids can't be wrong!).
