Comment/Synopsis

A young boy and his grandmother go to a hotel when where a group of witches led by Angelica Huston are planning to turn all the children in the country into mice. After the boy is turned into a mouse he has to fight back to stop the witches. A wonderful mix of live action and animation, with a suitably creepy performance from Angelica Huston. The film is based on the nvel by Roald Dahl
