Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
cmc2392 Remember Bella Ramsey play Lady Mormont yeah could cast any spell she liked, it would be one that instantly tidied her room. But that is where her similarities with most 13-year-olds ends. Now the talented teenager is set to cast a spell over children too as Mildred Hubble in the co-production between the BBC, Netflix and German broadcaster ZDF of a lavish new adaption of The Worst Witch. The magical new version of Jill Murphy's series of books about Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches will be broadcast as 12 episodes starting on 11 January on CBBC and will then stream on Netflix.The tv series of witches collaboration between CBBC, Netflix and ZDF has raised budget for viewers spend on children's television programmes. Like many British tv show Doctor Who team show more connection with Worst Witch with special effects designation in witch school set in a castle to rival Hogwarts, some may compare it with Harry Potter. Witches are not Harry Potter for girls because girls like Harry Potter as well. Anyone can watch The Worst Witch - it's quite a versatile programme, even though most of the cast are female. Mildred Hubble is a witch for everyone. including boys can watch it too. If the trajectory of the stars of previous series of The Worst Witch is anything are to go well beyond girls teens. The last time there was a TV adaptation of the books, Felicity Jones, currently finding fame in the lead role of the Star Wars offshoot Rogue One, played Mildred's nemesis, Ethel Hallow. Ramsey has watched that version but describes the new version as "quite different". According to fan, I kind a of smack sometime her off in plot story backgrounds related to witches weaker and pointless almost unclearly frustrated and pissed me off but yet praised Mildred's extreme pluckiness and usefulness in whole series. The character analysis of Mildred is very clumsy and dimwitted; brave, warm and funny. Her character is very resemblance to Dorothy Gale, Pippi Longstocking, Sailormoon and Doraemon's Nobita Nobi. She has two friend s quite counter part of Hermione and Ron; Enid and Maud. To fair, Mildred's friends cats different in version modern from 1970s; Enid is black and Maud is geeker than both same characters were Caucasian casts. I love the staffs; Hardbroom, Hallow sisters, head mistresses and the mom on Hubble. THe witch tv serie inspire more Ghibli's animation film in witches power; Kiki the Delivery Service and Mary the Witch Flower. It is a great tv series to laugh off and poke fun!!!!
blackrosevc As someone who grew up watching the 1998 series, it's always a controversial issue when a film/series gets a new adaptation. The Worst Witch 2017 has undoubtedly gone above and beyond all aspirations. Considering the show is aimed at children, the first series has proved to be extremely entertaining and a fantastic adaptation. Some plot lines clearly reflect the audience age, but this doesn't stop the characters from having a great deal of depth and complexity. The teachers definitely make the show, Clare Higgins portrays both Ada and Agatha Cackle brilliantly, but it's Raquel Cassidy's Miss Hardbroom that brings a mesmerising new image of the formidable potions teacher and deputy-head. The new Hecate Hardbroom (Not Constance) tops even the legendary Kate Duchêne, and we can't get enough of her!
ldybug-79181 I remember reading the books in the 70's and then watching the movie w/Tim Curry in the 80's. I actually just rewatched it the other day. This is a cute little series that shows friendship, trying to fit in, finding your self, and trying out new things. It is refreshingly not complicated or weighed down with special effects or preachy. My daughter, though in her 20's, might get a kick out of this series. It's a fun light watch. Worth the time spent.
Ståle Hansen Nice light fun Entertainment for kids and parents.. Hoping it will continue.. Would imagine it would be for Girls mostly, but a boy would find it exiting and thrilling as well.. bit Harry Potter spin off, but not so overpaid and over technical Production.. It stands on it's own.. Loved it
