Description[]
From the highly acclaimed Muppet creator Jim Henson comes a spell-bindinh family classic. Based on the exhilarating tale from the best-selling children's author Roald Dahl, 'Witches' is a fantastical comedy adventure full of fun and excitement for everyone. Academy Award winner Anjelica Huston stars as the Grand High Witch who battles against Luke, a nine year old boy in her dastardly plan to turn every child in England into a mouse. The question is, can Luke and his grandmother devise a strategy cunning enough to turn the tables on the Grand High Witch and her malevolent minions? This is a hilarious funny and spine-tingling scary tale that all the family are bound to love.
