This Tuesday, the 31st, Halloween is celebrated, which is also popularly known here in Brazil as Halloween. To celebrate this scary day, RECREIO brought some films with iconic Disney witches for you to marathon.
1. Maleficent
Maleficent is not really a witch, but rather a fairy with evil purposes. She is very powerful and knows a lot about magic. We know two versions of this villain: in “Sleeping Beauty” she is pure evil and we know nothing about her past, while in the live-action titled “Maleficent” we discover that yes, she may have a good side.
In the film, where the character is played by Angelina Jolie, we discover that she wasn’t always bad, and only assumed that side when the place she lived in was threatened. After being betrayed by a person she trusted, Maleficent wanted revenge and it was at that moment that her evil came to the surface.
2. Abracadabra
The Sanderson Sisters couldn’t be left out of this list! In “Abracadabra” we meet Winifred (Bette Midler), Sarah (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Mary (Kathy Najimy) Sanderson, three witch sisters who, before being executed, cast a spell that allows them to come back from the dead. And this actually happens, 300 years later, when a teenager lights the Black Flame Candle.
Last year, “Abracadabra 2” arrived exclusively on Disney+. The sisters returned 29 years after their last appearance in Salem and, this time, they will do everything to make their plans come true. Remember the trailer!
3. Paths of the Forest
In “Into the Forest” we have Meryl Streep playing a sentimental witch. The character is driven by revenge, due to a robbery she suffered and, as the story unfolds, she becomes even more disappointed with things, which makes her even more sentimental.
The musical film features the classic stories of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and Jack and the Beanstalk being reinvented.
4. Twitches — The Twin Witches
The twin sisters Aunt Mowry It is Tamera Mowry starred in the film “Twitches — The Twin Witches”. The film tells the story of two witch sisters who are separated shortly after birth and are adopted by different families. When they turn 21, they find out about each other, as well as discovering their magical powers. They will need to come together to save the place they were born in and also their biological mother.
5. Halloweentown
In “Halloweentown” we meet Aggie Cromwell, played by Debbie Reynolds, a grandmother who always visits her grandchildren around Halloween. On one of her visits she discovers that her eldest granddaughter, Marnie, is a witch like her.
Marnie needs to start practicing witchcraft before she turns 13 and if she doesn’t, she will lose her powers. Because of this, the girl decides to follow her grandmother on a bus trip and lands in Halloweentown, a city where magical beings celebrate Halloween every day. This film gave rise to a franchise of four feature films.
