From Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to The Wizard of Oz, many classic tales through the centuries wouldn’t be half as exciting without the devious doings of a witch. Now add another to the venerable tradition of stories that deliver family fun every witch way, a collaboration combining the effects wizardry of executive producer Jim Henson and the imagination of Willy Wonka creator Roald Dahl.

Academy Award® winner* Anjelica Huston won the Los Angeles and National Society of Film Critics Best Actress awards for her marvelous work as the Grand High Witch in this enchanting fable directed by Nicolas Roeg. Jasen Fisher plays Luke, the 9-year-old boy who must foil the plans of a society of witches to turn the world’s children into mice. It won’t be easy: They’ve already transformed him into one! But some big, bad witches may be no match for the resourcefulness of a single tiny rodent.

What took so long for this to get a blu?

RCRochester · 07-16-2019, 08:07 PM

Wow, great announcement. Not really something I'm personally interested in buying (though it's a great movie) but I know it's one that gets requested A LOT. It's good to see that a lot of these frequently requested titles show up eventually.

Michael24 · 07-16-2019, 08:07 PM

Yes! I've been hoping for this one for awhile now. Saw it in the theater when it came out. One of my favorites as a kid. Will be great to finally see it in widescreen again, too.

xxnomad · 07-16-2019, 08:15 PM

whoa!

klauswhereareyou · 07-16-2019, 08:20 PM

Well I thought this would be coming considering the remake is coming out sometime in the nest year.

Snicket · 07-16-2019, 08:21 PM

I hoped Criterion would land this but I am all in.

MifuneFan · 07-16-2019, 08:24 PM

Wow, one of my most wished for. Finally

Adcatalano · 07-16-2019, 08:29 PM

This movie traumatized me as a kid. Can’t wait to pick it up, so many good wac releases coming up

Matt89 · 07-16-2019, 08:33 PM

Will pass this one up as it’s not a favourite of mine, but great for the fans who have been wanting this. And it’s WAC, so you know the A/V will be top notch.

Criterion would’ve likely resulted in at least some extras, buuuuuuuut:

WAC compression > Criterion compression.

Between this and George of the Jungle from DMC, this is a decent week for movies that only have 4:3 DVDs.

miller_time22 · 07-16-2019, 08:41 PM

Yay!!!

Peavey · 07-16-2019, 08:43 PM

Been waiting for this, day one for me.

Hopefully The Powerpuff Girls Movie is forthcoming.

About bloomin' time! Never had a decent DVD release even.

cuzzin · 07-16-2019, 09:18 PM

Yesssss. I've been waiting for this one for a long time. So there's no actual release date yet?

pinballmaster · 07-16-2019, 09:19 PM

Finally! One of the greatest movies ever made!

Luke Dodge748 · 07-16-2019, 09:26 PM

I remember seeing in this in the theater. I can't wait to watch it again. Nice one
