Family Flicks Film Series: The Witches
- This is a past program
Recommended for ages 8+*
Can a nine-year-old boy stop the Grand High Witch of England’s sinister scheme to turn all the children of his country into mice? The Witches is an empowering tale and a visual feast. This adaptation of Roald Dahl’s ghoulish classic features the darkly imaginative puppetry of Jim Henson and Anjelica Huston at her delightfully nefarious best. Grown-ups can’t be blamed for being mesmerized too. (1990, Dir. Nicolas Roeg, 35mm, color, 91 min.)
*All ages are welcome. Feel free to take a break with infants and toddlers in the theater lobby.
