Made in 1986. Like hocus pocus a bewitching tale of broomsticks and goblins. A family fantasy for all ages. Studio: Bfs Ent & Multimedia Limi Release Date: 08/24/2004 Starring: Diana Rigg Charlotte Rae Run time: 70 minutes Rating: G Director: Robert Young Iii
Based on Jill Murphy's book, this charming movie is set in an English boarding school for witches--complete with orange and black school uniforms, broom-flying exercises, and potion assignments for lab. The incompetent student of the title, Mildred, is played by a fetching young Fairuza Balk. Diana Rigg is the nasty head teacher, Tim Curry the (oddly) idolized Grand Wizard, and TV's Facts of Life maven Charlotte Rae does double duty as the school's kindly dean and her evil witch twin, who's bent on taking over the school. Directed by Robert Young, this 68-minute video features less than state-of-the-art effects and several songs that stop the action--most bizarrely an outdoor assembly performance by Curry that turns into a weird music video. Still, preteen girls will identify with the beleaguered heroine who overcomes her wickedly snooty rival, a teacher who doesn't believe in her, and a band of dastardly witches and, of course, saves the day.

Halloween Movie:
This is a fun one for the kids around halloween. It's kind of cheesy, but good.
Good movie:
I remembered watching this movie when I was younger. It is definitely a movie that most people haven't heard of. For some strange reason I like this movie even though it is cheesy and the special effects are horrible.
Blast from my childhood!!:
This movie is so corny and cheesy but I love it! The effects are not good at all but it takes me back to when I was alittle girl everytime I watch and even my boys love it now!!
The Worst Witch:
I would recommend this movie to everyone who likes to watch movies as a family without having to worry about kids seeing something inappropriate.
