Mary And The Witch's Flower...
Yesterday, I saw Mary And The Witch's Flower...
As the story starts, Mary is very energetic and wants to be helpful, but, Mary can be a bit clumsy and ends up being more of a disturbance than a help. As the story progresses and Peter finds himself in real danger, Mary has the opportunity to return home, but, she cannot just leave Peter to his fate. Mary heads back into danger in an attempt to rescue Peter. The story builds to a wonderful climax as the rescue mission spirals out of control into an epic disaster of magical proportions.
There are, of course, no naughty bits to speak of. There is some action during the feature, but, there is not a lot of violence and no red ink at all. Mary And The Witch's Flower is beautifully rendered with lush greenery in the non-magical world and the fantastic and amazing sights in the magical world. Although some people are not nice, in the worlds envisioned in Mary And The Witch's Flower, no one is truly evil and without redemption. Overall, Mary and The Witch's Flower is a family-friendly tale of adventure. I would give Mary And The Witch's Flower a 3 out of 5.
In Mary And The Witch's Flower, we follow our heroine, Mary, as she discovers, a strange flower in the forest near her home and later, after finding a mysterious broom elsewhere in the forest, ventures to a strange land where magic and the witches that wield magic are real.
