In Disney's Hocus Pocus, Bette Midler stars with Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy as three wild witches who return from seventeenth-century Salem for a night of zany fun and comic chaos. After they're conjured up by unsuspecting pranksters, the tricky trio sets out to cast a spell on the town and reclaim their youth. But first they must outwit three feisty kids determined to foil their scheme! (Disney / Buena Vista)

With the announcement of the second film for this year's Halloween season, I wanted to see what this Disney Hocus Pocus was all about. The witches' convention is coming up rather soon, so this worked out just right. And indeed, Hocus Pocus is an enjoyable family film with a creepy fetish and a great trio of leading witches - Bette Midler is the vain baddie, Sarah Jessica Parker is fun and sexy, and Kathy Najimy is the cute and funny one. I'm not worried about the second film.

A family fairytale that lacks any hint of inner "magic". The kids are so unlikeable it hurts, the witches are incredibly over the top and it's all so annoying. The only really good thing in Hocus Pocus is the soundtrack, and that is not enough for a kids film.
