    One of my mum's favourite movies to watch and one I use to love watching when I was a kid. Particularly because of the comedy that is it in. Murray is so clumsy and odd that he just makes you laugh all the time. The comedy is great. Espeically Martin Short. His so good at it. Kathleen Turner, oh is she good or what. She plays the witch perfectly. Very evil. Another element of this film that I really enjoyed is the magic. I love all the effects. And Annabelle's dad. His such a good singer. If I were that musical director I would make him the lead straight away. His voice is so deep yet it's very good. Overall a wonderful film that is great to watch with a bit of comedy and a bit of magic.

    Thoroughly enjoyable family-oriented fantasy. Martin Short is nothing short (no pun intended) of hilarious, Mara Wilson is charming as always, and Kathleen Turner makes a deliciously wicked witch. The music and mix of various fairy tales only add to the fun. Pay attention to the opera scenes: they are simply breathtaking.

    Perfect. Marie looks so much like a boy even though he admits he's a girl. Annabel's ribbons are really nice and she looks cute.

    this movie wasn't as bad as some of you may think, although a bit childish at times, you have to rememeber it was set for a children's audience, and even though that is the case, it still wasn't half bad. give it a go.
