A young boy stumbles upon a witches' convention and must stop them—even after he’s been turned into a mouse. See it for £3 at our Kids’ Club screenings.
While staying at a hotel in England with his grandmother Helga (Mai Zetterling), young Luke (Jasen Fisher) inadvertently spies on a convention of witches. The Grand High Witch (Anjelica Huston) reveals a plan to turn all children into mice through a magical formula. When they find that Luke has overheard, the witches test the formula on him. Now, with the help of Helga and hotel manager Mr Stringer (Rowan Atkinson), Luke the mouse must fight the witches.
With a deliciously wicked performance from Huston and imaginative Jim Henson puppetry, Nicolas Roeg’s dark and witty movie captures the spirit of Roald Dahl’s books perfectly.
