This movie brings back so many good memories from my childhood and always gives me a warm hearted feeling when I watch it. This is one of those movies I can watch many times and not get tires of it. I hope someday a sequel gets made.

My Opinion Instead of the Critics

Man, so many critics were harsh about this. But this is suppose to be cliche and campy. And this was at the time during the 90s when it was suppose to be campy for fun. But anyway, I digress. When I finally saw it on Disney Channel the first time in the 90s years ago, I instantly loved it. I think many who grew up with this film will also love this as well, especially for how hammy Kathy, Sarah, and Bette freakin' Midler are. Plus who can resist Bette Midler's version of "I Put a Spell on You". It's so catchy!

This is a fun, silly, Halloween Movie. It's not met to be a Golden Globe, Oscar or any other statues award. It's hilarious, goofy and runs amuck, amuck, amuck. Wish I had a ROTTEN TOMATO to give back to the dopes that have no sense of fun. 🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎SILLY Rotten TOMATOES!

I know this isn't an Oscar winning flick, but come on! It's a fun movie for kids as well as adults. It's been my favorite movie since it came out because of the Halloween silliness of it. So listen up all you overthinkers and overjudgers...it's just a little Hocus pocus! : )

Simple but Halloween Fun 🎃 🍂

It isn't really a movie that's worth watching again, but it had some funny parts, especially with the insane witches and goofy zombie, and the little girl who wanted to go trick-or-treating really badly. And how can we forget the cute little black cat Binx who'll steal your heart? 😺

Thank you iTunes for putting this up!! I have enjoyed this movie since I was a child, it has that great feel of modern day Halloween! Probably the best Halloween movie EVER made! When I was younger I always wanted an adventure like Max and the movie is hilarious and never gets old I say it's for ANYONE especially those who truly get into the spirit of Halloween! The best part is this movie NEVER GETS OLD! I mean how can you not like Hocus Pocus? Not just a great seasonal film but one of my favorite movies that my whole family loves! Now my baby brother, sister and boyfriend it will be passed on generation to generation and if it's not thats a shame! If you haven't watched it please do!

Great For All Adults Too!

Grew up watching this movie being a 89 baby. I used to always watch it every Halloween in the 90's, but now Disney doesn't even give it anymore. Lifetime gives it all day everyday literally. They have given it 4 times in a row literally. Everyone should watch Hocus Pocus at least once or twice.

This is one of the best movie of the 90's with amazing and best actress like: Bette Melder, Sarah Jessica Parker, Thora Birch and Vanessa Shaw. Is a ride that you will never want to end. Es una de las mejores peliculas de los 90, que cuenta con increibles y grandes actrises como: Bette Midler "El Club de Las Mujeres Divorciadas", Sarah Jessica Parker "Sex and The City" and "El Club de Las Mujeres Divorciadas", Thora Birch "American Beauty and Monkey Trouble" and Vanessa Shaw "The Hills Have Eyes". Es un paseo que nunca quisieras que terminara.

Though one of the highest criticized movies of all time, this movie is centered in all of our heart. I truly enjoy this movie thoroughly, from the plot twists and vague forshadowment. It may not be a titanic or shaw shank redemption but it's a blockbuster worth watching.

This Halloween classic is exactly that, a classic. It creates a story and weaves great chills and thrills into the movie as it progresses. Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy are cast perfectly as the Sanderson sisters, striving for eternal beauty and youth (what more and more people crave whether they are witches or not) who unfortunately for their victims means trading in their own life energy.
This movie is both thrilling and comedic, and it introduces practically every facet of Halloween as part of its plot. I loved it (and still do).

This was one of my favorite movies as a kid, so I'm happy to see it on the Top Sales list! It's a fantasy-comedy so filled with childhood wonder it might just remind you of your own Halloween adventures, though hopefully yours were missing the resurrected witches.
Has some scary moments, but should be suitable for most children. (Even if they're not old enough to know what a virgin is; the word is said so many times that you might just be asked what it means! Talk about an odd way to learn about the birds and the bees.) Might want to bring a hankie for the ending though, it never fails to bring a tear even after all these years.

I have to say although you can watch this movie anytime of the year (if you own it that is), it is the best movie to watch in the fall. I love when it gets close to Halloween and its time to pull out Hocus Pocus to watch. The acting in the movie is great and the story line is good too. The movie may be hard to find in stores but it is defintly worth hunting down. It truely is the Best Fall Family Movie to watch.

Where do I start? SO MANY DELETED SCENES!! They really should release like a diretors cut. This movie gets a 5 out of 5 just because of the shear fun and laughter of the whole thing. And again, Hocus Pocus fans would really want to see those deleted scenes from the trailers. Like when the other sisters pushed Winnie in the school pool. Or when Mary closes the cabinet. Oh, well. Still one of the best Disney movies ever.

Has that autumn spirit

Fall has a feel all of its own. Sighing breezes shuffle confetti-colored leaves across the ground, bringing the sharp scent of cool air to the nose. It's a time for harvest, for plucking apples and picking pumpkins. It's also a time of excitement. There is feel of change surrounding the season, brought on by the restlessness of fallen leaves and culminated by the rush of Halloween night. In literature, author Ray Bradbury is unmatched in his ability to convey the aura of autumn. Books stemming from his "October country," such as Something Wicked This Way Comes or the simpler Halloween Tree, are staples of the season. In cinema, Hocus Pocus sits at the mantle of quintessential fall films. It's a fun ride, an adventure that every child hopes this Halloween will be. Hocus Pocus encompasses the modern spirit of All Hallow's Eve. The holiday is about imagination, escapism, and mystery. It thrives on the thrill of the unknown. Director Kenny Ortega has managed to distill the midnight dreams of the American child and present it in one-and-a-half hours of pure, joyful fantasy. Just as no Christmas should pass without a viewing of Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life, no October should go by without an evening spent in the world of Hocus Pocus.
