The Witches (1990) #WarnerArchive #WarnerBros #TheWitches
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.
Directed By Nicolas Roeg
Starring Anjelica Huston, Mai Zetterling, Jasen Fisher

Angelica Huston shows no effort being the Grand High Witch!! - truly never will be unequalled!!
Exactly she’s the epitome of villainess
I love how she laughs and then immediately after says kill him. Like Palpatine saying it to Anakin.
maybe wanted to see his guts on the floor
OMG! This was my movie! When I was a kid, I would cry for the little boys and his grandmother.
Me too Cici me too
They don't make kids movies like this anymore. This movie was proper creepy. These days movies are all glitz and glamour and cheap easy entertainment
and so predictable
Blame Karen
I could not have put that better myself.

@LUCAS PACK i
I’m 30 years of age and I read the novel for the first time recently. I’ve also got this strange obsession about visiting Norway 🇳🇴 Dahl’s work was a masterpiece in terms of simplicity yet this brought it to life for me
0:56 “Bye Bye”.
3:58 "Bye!"
The witches where really smart to pretend to comfort the woman who lost the baby

hs@@mariaguadalupejimenezvelaz6321OK bin higher thigh we HK
I've always imagined the witches secretly putting an off-screen curse on the baby such as turning him into stone, giving him a disease, turning him into an animal etc.
the music, atmosphere, acting everything is superior to the remake.
Absolutely👍👍
The music is most definitely not superior. The soundtrack for the remake has so much more energy to it!
1:26 I LOLLED
it scared the shit out of me when they turned him into a mouse
It is a shame that they did not get the wrong potion that would turn him into a leopard, a rhinoceros or a kangaroo.
lol mee tooo
too bad we couldn’t see luke have ears, whiskers or mice teeth before shrinking into his clothes
The Law of Attraction works, even when I didn't realize it. I saw this movie, then bought it, because I thought Angelica Houston was so fine. Anyway, I kept watching it, and I ended up in a relationship, with a woman who looks somewhat like Angelica Houston.
lol. You wanted after seeing Angelica again someone just like her and voila your wish has been granted
@@capcom23 Yes, and I wasn't even trying. It was a Scooby snack (I call, a short term relationship), which lasted over a year. Now I am ready for a major intimate relationship to happen. I am using hypnosis, which in my opinion, the fastest way of getting what I want in life. Sometimes we have road blocks in our conscious mind that causes me not to get what I want. Hypnosis bypasses the conscious mind to get what I want. I just make sure I don't have baggage from the previous relationship, because I don't want it in my new relationship. Do you remember George Michael's song "Father Figure?" She had bangs Oh Yeah. If you're wishing that for me again in my life? I gladly accept it. I believe in hypnosis, because it made me Psychic. In Tarot, my card is The Magician, I make things happen in my life. I am the Master of my Physical Reality.
This time, I am using hypnosis to get an intimate relationship. Sometimes we get blocks in our thinking that causes us to stay single, and it could be by our last relationship, or something else (self image). I'm using a hypnotist who's been around over 30 years. I’ve purchase their products since the early 90's. I started last Friday, I'm watching it 7 days straight, then I will stop. The first night I did this video, I had a dream that night, of a woman that was madly in love with me. It wasn't sexual but a romantic, affection, and cuddling kind of dream. I'm starting a channel of the most beautiful try on haul ladies here on KZhead, watching them every night, before I do the hypnosis program... I also have my list of 10 things (1 being the most imortant, 10 being the least), I want in my next intimate relationship, When she comes into my life, I will delete the channel. I'm just experimenting, I'm a Sagittarius. I haven't had a major relationship since 2013 (I've had Scooby Snacks since). It's time.
King Corrick you’re lucky
@@magycka1 ur smoking
I don't know how the remake will stack up to the original.
Rosandra Davis is you look on Wikipedia it says it’s not a remake, but a sequel that carries on after the first one?
2020 and still no remake.
@@gerardcollins80 The first poster finally leaked. Waiting for the trailer.
It was meant to be released in October, but has been pushed back to next year due to Covid-19
It will be absolutely horrible
There is no one else could’ve played the grand high which better than Angelica Houston
I never noticed the purple eyes on Angelica Houston the entire movie, except for the parts where they highlighted it due to the poor quality, not that I see it, looks so beautiful!!!
Anjelica Huston had dark brown eyes, so that explains the visual effects
I love that they have all shapes and sizes of witches here and all of them are equally engaged and are in focus.
Hgjhhjg😢
That's not actually 'her' baby, but it is her charge. She's in a nanny's uniform. I'm from a UK city where a lot of the nannies to wealthy families get trained, and they're often seen around the place in similar uniforms. Definitely not everyday dress and the filmmakers wouldn't have intended it to be.
We've got him madam! We've got him madam!
Useless worms. Actually she was the one who got him.
i hope in the remake they talk more about the grandmar and the grand high witchs past together
It's a sequel not a remake
@@miloslavmasar it’s a remake
Dumbledore Fan no its an adaptation
@@miloslavmasar Well at the end of the book and at the end of this film, Luke and his Grandmother do talk about taking on the American witches so I suppose a sequel could work.
@@lusyhognaston3777 no they don't... at the end of the book the boy and his grandmother talk about going into the Grand High Witches castle (they learned the location) and the boy as the mouse can put the mouse recipe in every witches meal there
2:46 If you look in the top right corner, some witches are leaving the meeting room.
actually those same witches are in the front when Luke is slowing turning around just before hw starts turning into a mouse.
Luke saved that baby 👶 how magnificent
Omg I loved this movie as a kid never missed a showing. I loved the boys relationship with his grandmother cause I was close to mine like that.
This is my Hocus Pocus.
Mine 2.
Exactly. Everyone always talked about that movie, while I obsessively talked about the Witches.
When Luke is turning into a mouse it’s like his dancing 😆😂😂
*he's
amazing 500 doses makes you shake like that! (instantly)
“if U hURT mAH grANDmA” 💀💀
“SILENCE LITTLE BRAT!”
@@angelbikey2907 😭😭💀
I realized the witch that push the baby is from the Addams family ? Maybe I might be wrong
You’re right.
She's a famous actress, Angelica Huston.
Wow you guys are the first ever people the replies to my comments
@Yassine Sarti I havn't heard much from her lately
Yes, she is Morticia Addams
I loveeeee this movie so much Angelica Houston was the fiercest witch everrrr !!!! 💁🏾
I have been obsessed with this movie ever since I saw it as a teenager. Love the Witches
The mice in the original version were so cute, the new ones look gross.
This will be better than a remake.
is this rupaul all star new trailer?
LMAO
Sis I - 💀
I got a mini book of this from McDonald's and it had activities and it said "maybe being turned into an animal wouldn't be so bad, if you could turn into any animal what would you like to be? and it had a little square at the bottom where you could draw and I drew myself as a kangaroo, I really would like to be a kangaroo that way I could jump really high.
I like how he gets back at the ,he put the poison in there soup and they ture I. Mice ,that's was so funny......
The remake already looks bad. Cgi and shitty. I know it won’t get close to this one. Also they should’ve casted someone else for the grad high witch. Angelica Huston was Amazing
It's not a remake: it's an adaptation. The term remake refers only to the new version of works of art born as movies :)
The 2020 remake is just a pitiful social justice version. Terrible!
Anne is a great actress and will do a fine job. It won’t beat Angelica but that’s okay.
How tf do you know? You literally saw 2 minutes of the movie and so what if it's bad? Y'all are going on like as if when the new one comes out the 1990 one will just disappear you can still go back and watch that one lmao as for the grand high witch nobody will ever top angelicas performance but I think Anne will do a good job too also Octavia Spencer is a brilliant actres and good asf in everything she's been in so theres a reason to watch the film.
Anne looks so out of depth 😳
I JUST LOOOVE THAT HOTEL AND THE SURROUNDINGS.....I GIVE ANYTHING AT LEAST TO WORK IN THERE!!!.DOES ANYBODY WHERE IT IS?
Headland hotel. Its in Newquay.
do you want to be a victim of the witches? Watch someone else turn into a mouse then you? lastly be the chef witch and turn into a mouse?
2:33 How did you get in here?!
Me:New 2020 movie The WItCHeS Me again:Nah imma just watch the classic
Correct
Facts
I read a book about it. I can't believe they made a movie out of it. Finally.
Right
There's a remake with Anne Hathaway set to be released 2021
This movie came out like 1990
@@Alb3rt951 I've been looking for this movie for ages.Finally found it.B.C I read the book for it.
Remakes usually suck
"Oh no, he lives" Anjelica houston's Morticia Addams - Addams Family Values
Noticed? Luke no longer smells like dog poop for the GHW in the hotel room scene. Because they no longer wrinkle their noses. What I mean. He must be very sweaty profusely. His clothes, socks and sneakers. So invisible to the witches ^^
yet is still given 500 doses. turned into a mouse.
@@Cashmoney098 I mean before^^
@@NERV_NICHTim surprised foot stink doesn’t save him from being shrunk.
3:40 Watch him break it down 😂😂😂😂😂
3:40 - 3:42 Luke looks like he’s doing the Harlem Shake
I forgot this shit even existed lmao
I laughed at this
0:50 if the Grand High Witch takes off her disguise...
I love this movie
Me 2
Me 3
Her "Luke" was cute. I love Anjelica in Witches and Addams family, my favorit Mortisia Addams. She is great.
3:19 as you can see on the right that is a real Indian witch
No like literally it’s true
Little children must be watching 👀 watch perpetually
Cuando era niño veía esta película.
Can't wait for youtube to pick this up so can download an play at heart's content. Really luv this movie .
I downloaded it from a site called The Pirate Bay and a program called uTorrent. At 720p.
@@SicilianStealth Thanks Michael will check it out .
Doris Walton You can also watch it on Netflix now
@@keig6846 THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH.
I appreciate how the grand high witch ( Ms. Anjelica Huston ) gave her best to this movie! Omg! I freaking love her so much, she's so gorgeous until now!!
Magnificent Luke saves the baby 👶 just awesome
This part of the movie gave me so much anxiety
Likewise.
The original 1990 movie is better than the 2020 remake, you cannot change my mind
That's obvious

1:09 HiGH WITCH thinking: How brave he is..!
Used to rent this out when I was 5 years old, and it had a place in my heart ever since. Still have the vhs tape.
I love the witches
such a great movie
Una de las mejores películas modernas de brujas...!
Nada que ver el remake con esta joya
Yes
Wow, that jist scared the heck out of me. 😥
My lil Anthony runs in the streets in church lane and beechwood street i runs in the streets save his life OMG
Anjelica Huston 🥺
You tube is trying to tell me something..
funny how bruno never calls luke by his first name. secondly before luke shrinks into a mouse. that "dog droppings smells" magically fades away.
'cuz they're paying more attention to Luke's reaction than the smell itself. They're quite excited as you can see.
@@Cashmoney098 Excited being namely happy
From 1:07 the three women running away were they witches or regular people? (e.g. The woman in blue saying baby in a pram and another woman in red at the bottom of the cliff)
Pretty sure they were witches given how they were wearing gloves
probably too many in the shot
The witch down clip she did not have gloves on
Angelica Houston......will be the witch queen ...queen of queens
there some scenes in this that must have come from the donkey scene in pinnochio
The remake will suck
It did.
Predictable
Wow you predicted this
Didn't recall the Battleship Potemkin homage/reference. Time to re-watch both classic films.
you weren't much aware that's why. That's why I love to rewatch old movies.. because most of it it didn't hit on me due no references. Now with more insight and awareness everything comes off differently and love the movies even more
You know things get dark when at 1:57, you expect the mother and the baby to be around the witches but they are not there. Edit: And you can see the Grand High Witch.
Not mother, nanny (despite 'my baby'). That's a nanny's uniform.
@@WeaselKing1000I doubt this. The woman shown is wearing a coat which makes it difficult to see what she could be wearing underneath it.
@@ahnyisbillingsley8589 I live in Bath, which is where Norland College (where these specific élite nannies train) is. This *exact* coat is part of the uniform - in winter you will see these young ladies around and about with it on. In any case, the distinctive hat would give it away. No possible doubt this woman is a nanny, if you knew what to look for. Ask yourself, why would a mother on holiday be wearing a clear uniform, anyway?
Wait...Hollywood's doing a remake of this classic??? Can't leave well enough alone smh....
Ikr? If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it! Will people never be happy, even with perfection?
It's not a remake. It's an adaptation of the same source material.
The Witches Good Women touch my heart ❤️💓 it's full down
Great movie Angelica Houston was amazing and beautiful in this
Lil Anthony running in the street church la beechwood street i 🏃♀️ to runs to saves him OMG
1:58 you can see The Witches effortlessly still chasing the poor boy
Praise God Luke saved that baby 👶
whats the accent of the grand high witch?
I believe he is German
@@padmapatil2885 Yes
Pretty sure its Norwegian
@@khloet508 Nope It’s German
@@khloet508 There's a scene where she speaks german with her cat
The boy rat is so so cute
Fanfiction idea, the Grand High Witch doesn't push the pram, instead she takes a liking to the baby becuase the mother was neglectful by sleeping, takes it home and raises it as her own.
It is a very bonnie wee baby.
Can somebody please write that?
That is Malificient script right there
Why would *she* care?
Better yet someone else takes the baby home as her own before that hag could even push it down the hill
I saw this movie in school once. Never got to the end though.
they could nvr make a sequel bc of the ending
2:35 hahahaha THE SHADE!!!
2:18 how did they find Luke!!??. Was it his shouting that alerted the Grand High Witch to his room or did they know he was staying in that room!?…
I love this movie lol
Solo es una película porque la vida real de las brujas es totalmente diferente ☺️
Wearing coats, and gloves in the summer. My memory from the book was when the boy had to climb a tree to get away from a witch...I forgot why they were always holding their faces.
They were holding their noses because children smelled like dog’s droppings to them. Unless you’re referring to wig rash, which is the itch they get from wearing wigs on their bald heads.
@@Kitschensyngk all this talk about Roald dahl books and movie. I just looked up about whether Mrs. trunchbull killed Magnus. One look from that board in the book suggested so, as much as it scared her seeing the painting of Magnus(Roald Dahl Painting in IRL), floating down at her, in the movie.
@@Kitschensyngk Clean children that is.
@@lusyhognaston3777 Apparently in the movie he didn't clean himself at the hotel, and they still noticed him and tracked him down, like those crazy super sensitive AI Gerudo guards from The legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
The cleaner the child appears to be after having a bath or a shower, the more smelly they were to a witch
Mi piacciono questi film 😍😊
jasen fisher was the best actor as luke
buenisima
I was born in the year it was released 1990 on the 4the January and I would cry because it was so sad and because I watched when I was four 1994 because I would get nightmares
How it feels like to shrink?
That was kind of cute when she was tickling the baby. Until she ruined it by pushing the poor thing down the hill
This is the real LUKE... not the remake..
Que poderoso amuleto la mano de Fátima 😸 es el talismán más poderoso 😂 para proteger de la Brujería o hechicera
Tôi rất thích bộ phim này😮
Ele era criança frutas iluminados faz parte
Anjelica played this so well. Truly evil.
이거 졸라 재밌게 봤는데
2:33 I think the most likely way the Grand High Witch got into the room is that she made a fake key for every room in the hotel.
Nah, I feel like the witch who was a maid at the hotel gave her the key. You know, the one who keeps screaming, “We’ve got him madam!”
I MISS practical effects like this! Everything nowadays is in your face, oversaturated, and CGI
Can you really call these effects practical? kzhead.info/sun/ir2lnLaLsHyin6c/bejne.html Especially when computers are at play.
Practical effects are boring and have no character to them. Not to mention, they are so poorly done that it makes it quite obvious that you are watching a movie. You can literally see a wire at 1:06 . CGI is much more clean and takes more talent and presents an other-worldly feel. You old-heads will complain about anything and everything. The world grows and advances for the better whether you wanna hold us all back in the past or not.
When the grand hi which pushed the baby the baby could’ve died 😱😱😱
Pretty sure that's what she intended by doing it also to draw the boy.
I think that’s the point lol.
