From the title you all ready know where this review is going. I suppose I'm biased since I grew up watching this movie. The late Cloris Leachman as the witch is evil and awesome! The late David Warner as the father is likeable and respectable even though Emily Richard is so mean and horrible as the mother, who worries herself into being the film's soft villain, that demands a man stand up for himself and her children show her respect for her care and effort. It all works out in the end, though as you find out she's just a mother in a tight spot who loves her husband and her children.
Cloris Leachman is such a legend in this movie. She's such a believable performing actress as the witch...as far as I'm concerned...witches, if they were real, SHOULD act just like she does in this movie. It's an iconic performance in my opinion. She makes the Wicked Witch of the West run for her money.
The soundtrack is catchy and memorable but it ought to be after 34 years.
This is a movie to show to your kids. Let them watch it alone, too. It'll be a trial for passage.
