An American Tail (1986). While emigrating to the United States, a young Russian mouse gets separated from his family and must relocate them while trying to survive in a new country.

Forever kind of gutted Amblimation folded as quickly as it did. None of its three films (An American Tail, We're Back, and Balto) are perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but I think it was a studio with a different voice in the era and the medium, and it would've been interesting to see it grow. This is a charming, albeit flawed little film though, with lovely, fluid animation and a rich migration story. I like it a lot, and it was fun to revisit as it's been a minute since I've seen it! 7/10.

About Chucky:

CHUCKY is a continuation of the iconic film franchise chronicling the murderous escapades of the notorious killer doll.

After his diabolical plan to invade America’s children’s hospitals was foiled in season one, Chucky now seeks revenge on those he holds responsible: surviving teens Jake (Zackary Arthur), Devon (Björgvin Arnarson) and Lexy (Alyvia Alyn Lind), along with his ex Tiffany, now his sworn enemy. Meanwhile, can “Jevon” make it as a couple in the face of adversity at their new Catholic school, not to mention a brand-new onslaught of terror from the demon doll?

The series is produced by UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, and executive produced by Don Mancini, Nick Antosca, Alex Hedlund, David Kirschner and Jeff Renfroe.

Hocus Pocus 2 (2022)

My rating: 7/10

Does a pretty good job at recapturing the spirit (ahaha.) of the original movie, I though - like that, this is a bit all over the place and does have its flaws, but the villains are a whole lot of fun to watch at all times, and the shenanigans are entertaining. Plus the soundtrack - both diegetic and not - is pretty damn good.

Bette Midler does lay it on a bit thick there at the end, though, I was fully expecting some last minute betrayal. But nope, guess they're just fairy dust now.

Hocus Pocus (1993)

There aren’t many Halloween-themed movies fit for both little children and their parents. This - but mostly the annual showings of the film by Disney - is why I believe Hocus Pocus has become a cult classic. Though the plot may not be original and there are a couple of rough bits, the special effects are quite good and its trio of witches is memorable.

On Halloween, 1693, in Salem, Massachusetts, witches Winifred, Sarah and Mary Sanderson (Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy) are hanged after draining the life out of a little girl to restore their youth. Before their execution, Winifred casts a curse that will resurrect them if a virgin lights their Black Flame Candle during a full moon on All Hallows’ Eve. In 1993, Max Dennison (Omri Katz) tries to impress his classmate Allisson (Vinessa Shaw) while taking his little sister Dani (Thora Birch) trick-or-treating and accidentally bringing the three sorcerers back to life.

I get why the movie is a fan favorite… without feeling like I will ever crave to see it again. Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy are clearly having fun as this trio of dimwitted spellcasters. All three have iconic looks that would be a lot of fun to bring to life for your own October 31st celebration. They provide a couple of good laughs here and there. As for the heroes, the young stars are appealing, particularly Thora Birch. Their characters are pretty stock, leaning towards bland but when they’re teamed up with Thackery Binx (voiced by Jason Marsden), a 300-year old boy who was transformed into a cat and cursed with immortality, you can’t help but smile. Seeing a live-action talking kitty is just delightful, whether you’re watching this movie or an adaptation of Sabrina, The Teenage Witch.

The biggest issue with Hocus Pocus is that it doesn’t know what to brew with its ingredients. Sarah Sanderson flirts with practically every man she sees - but so what? It’s just something for Parker to do while Najimy sniffs around for children and Midler scolds them for their blunders. All the witches need is one child for them to stay alive past sunrise but they’re so inept you never feel threatened by them. This might be a feature for young children watching but for grown-ups, the threat is non-existent. The film plays with the idea of becoming a musical in two scenes. First, when Sarah lures a child to the Sanderson home with a song, then again in the present when Winifred (not Sarah?) hypnotizes the adults at a Halloween with a rendition of I Put a Spell on You. Another idea that goes nowhere, though I'm sure fans would call it one of their favorite scenes.

You could draw the heroes' arcs with your eyes closed, making the villains a standout by far. They aren't badly written, it’s just that you’ve seen everything there is to know about them elsewhere, from the older brother who doesn’t appreciate his younger sister until she is threatened to the generic high school bullies who prey on him and the pretty classmate he befriends and will eventually share a kiss with. For a brief moment I thought maybe the film would play with the idea that Max is a virgin. Maybe he and her would… but then I remembered this is a Disney movie made in the early ‘90s.

If you’ve never seen Hocus Pocus before, you expect it to be this big deal thanks for the star power and the fact that we’re still talking about it in 2022. The truth is, this movie is workmanlike, at best. Unless you grew up with Hocus Pocus, you're unlikely to call this an instant favorite. Its popularity might even leave you scratching your head.
