I was so excited for this, Hocus Pocus is one of my all time favourite films! I was of course, praying they didn't completely ruin it, as Disney's reputation is rife for that. However, I was pleasantly surprised! It started great!! I do wish there were more of Hannah Waddingham, wasted opportunity there. She was fabulous. I also would have liked more references to the original characters Max, Danni and Allison and where was Binx!? I agree with other comments, you can really see that enjoyment on the faces of Bette, Sarah and Kathy to be back in their roles as the Sanderson Sisters! It was a joy to watch. Could it have been a little darker? Yes. Could the ending have been a little batter? Yes. Was it as good as the original? No. But was it a good film that was entertaining for the whole family and brought back some memories from the original? Absolutely!

The casting is awful. James Wood is not the man, he's the worst person for this role. The Baldwin guy is terrible. This movie could have been much better with better actors and better writing. Also the way the women were portrayed in this movie was disgusting.
