| Review Summary |
They are completely
bald and always wear wigs, constantly sneaking hands
underneath to scratch their itchy scalps. They don't have any
toes and have really broad feet, but they force their feet
into narrow, fashionable shoes to blend in. They have really
long, curved fingernails that they usually hide by wearing
gloves. They are the witches. And the meanest, nastiest
witches live in England, where a boy has just gone to live
with his grandmother after his parent's tragic death.
His grandmother always warned the boy about suspecting
nice women who offer him candy - check for gloves, wigs and
pinched feet. He is able to avoid the witches until his
grandmother becomes ill and they go to a seaside resort where
the English witches are having a convention just like normal
people in the hotel. Stunned, the boy overhears the grand
witch's plot to eliminate all of the children in England by
feeding them candy that will turn them into mice! When he is
discovered, the boy knows that the witches are going to kill
him, but they test the potion on him instead. Now in mouse
form, the boy and his grandmother must use all of their wits
and cleverness to defeat the witches' evil scheme!
