One thing funny to it, talking about Rat Race as a "remake" of Mad, Mad, mad World... I got Ernest Scared Stupid last week, and re-watched it again and... god, that movie was made in 1991, and Hocus Pocus in 1993, and you might be surprised at how similar the two movies are:

Ernest Scared Stupid (1991)...................Hocus Pocus (1993)

Intro set in the past...............................Same kind of intro
Malediction is made by Troll.....................Same with witches
Even warned, Ernest awake the evil..........Max do the same!
Weird Abigail helps the gang....................The weird cat helps the gang too
Old Book with recipe................................Old Grimoire with recipe
The evil is dispatched...............................Same
Witches changes in wooden statues...........Children was changed in wooden statues
Abigail's family wake up from the curse......The curse leaves Thackery Binx (Cat)
Abigail gets her family again......................Thackery joins her lil sister!

And I'm sure I could add more to that list!

Anyway, the Ernest movie is "good", but Hocus Pocus is better!

In Hocus Pocus, when did the children change into wooden statues??? I remember they had their life sucked out of them, but don't recall them turning into wooden statues??? Also, I think Thackery is a boy, not a girl.
