Mary and The Witch’s Flower

Directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi, 2017
PG; English dubbed; 102 minutes

Mary is an ordinary young girl stuck in the country with her great-aunt Charlotte, with no adventures or friends in sight. She follows a mysterious cat into the nearby forest, where she discovers an old broomstick and the strange Fly-by-Night Flower, a rare plant that blossoms only once every seven years. Together the flower and the broomstick whisk Mary above the clouds to far-away Endor College, a school of magic run by headmistress Madam Mumblechook and the brilliant Doctor Dee. But there are terrible things happening at the school and when Mary tells a lie, she must risk her life to try to set things right. Based on Mary Stewart’s 1971 classic children’s book The Little Broomstick.
