I enjoyed it anyway well if you have not watched it its good its about a witch that comes into the boys garden.and asked him if you want this snake but he didn't take it because he new the lady was a witch and how he new that was because is grandma told him how to spot a witch.
But then the witch offered him chocolate but he still didn't take it.
but then he shouted grandma and she ran away with her snake.
and then one day grandma was with him and when she went somewhere she the which was there and turned the little boy into a little mouse. It was a great movie
i loved this movie espicially when the boy was turned into a mouse.he was the sort of boy that you would want to slap(imitating little boy) "grandma grandma" omg
