Has *Hocus Pocus* ALWAYS Been Like This?!?! "Commentary"

[@tracieh215]

Just for the record....Sarah Jessica Parker, the "thirsty" witch, actually is descended from a woman in Massachusetts who was accused of being a witch. She was thrilled when she found out.

[@PsychoElou666]

Whoa! That’s awesome

[@jakedull2553]

Let be really the only one thirsty in this video is billy 🤣 that mans been talking about sex and making jokes since he heard the word virgin. Dude forgot Disney made pretty woman basically a rags to riches story about a prostitute.

[@paulsmith8510]

I did too. Lol its not very uncommon for New Englanders. Half my family came on the Mayflower to Plymouth MA. My cousins still live in Salem. Spent every Halloween there as a kid.

[@chasformer3091]

Thats awesome. Sucks that they killed her ancestor, but hey, pretty awesome.

[@Sillyhead]

@@chasformer3091 I don’t think they killed her, maybe just accused. I’m not sure they just didn’t say whether or not they did.

i don't think that his little sister really knows what virgin means lol otherwise i don't think she would be repeatedly telling everyone that her brother is a virgin. All she knows is that her brother is one.

[@MortMe0430]

Yeah, she knows whatever it means he's gotta be one or else lighting the candle wouldn't have changed anything

[@cobbsta88]

When I watched this as a kid, I didn't know what it meant either and just took it for granted and went along with the parts I did understand. It's actually hilarious how much virgin shaming there is in this kids movie haha

You know what.... you got a point 😂

[@christyshultz6443]

I was all like damn isn't this a kids movie.

[@sillyestsoup]

in the second movie a kid asked that exact question and the guy replyed "a virgin is someone who.... never...uh.. lit a candle..?"

[@Okay_Is_Wonderful]

Welcome to the fun facts section: Yes, Kenny Ortega directed High School Musical(s) also. Mary makes occasional barking type sounds because Kathy Najimy was channeling a bloodhound vibe connected to her power of smelling children. Yes, Winifred is the eldest sister. And Bette Midler's favourite role she's played. Disney has had consistency and tone issues regarding how uptight they are. But there hadn't been many non-horror films to angle for 'family friendly Halloween movie' before this. I suppose most assumed the adult humor would go over kids' heads, or was still better than violence, idk. Thackery was played by Sean Murray, aka McGee from NCIS. His voice got dubbed by Jason Marsden tho (see most 90's TV). Satan and Medusa are played by _brother & sister_ Garry & Penny Marshall. I assume that trying to blow the candle out would have worked as well as burning the book did, but yeah, ya shoulda tried. The fountain in the park across from the high school from the post-kiln celebration scene is the same one from Friends. Re: "white witch" - think more light mage/dark mage, tho you're not wrong about the palette of this film. Dani & Thackery always seemed fairly innocent to me. She's a kid who bonded with a talking kitty when her own brother wants little to do with her. He's projecting some of his regret and protective instincts from Emily. Sarah tho - I was gonna say she goes after every fella with a pulse, but she's still flirting with Zombie!Billy too. She _thirsty,_ man. Disney stupidly released this movie in the summer, worried about it competing with _Nightmare Before Christmas._ It bombed, but later found its audience thru TV reruns. Hits a lot of nostalgia buttons, and yeah for me, it's not Halloween without it.

[@doniellederosa5216]

[@alexandrialeonora6542]

@@carson9359 Right! And the melody of the song is actually written by the late, great composer James Horner, though he didn't do the rest of the music on the film (and I don't think he fully got credited for the melody, either, unfortunately).

[@jonurbanovsky5438]

It was totally a thing to just walk into Halloween parties in my neighborhood in the 90s. One of the reasons I really love this movie is that I remember Halloweens like they show it here--kids everywhere, every house giving out candy, open parties with bobbing for apples, box mazes and haunted houses at local schools/churches... That's why I get so sad when no kids go trick-or-treating anymore; at least I have a bucket of full size candy bars as a consolation prize. ;D

[@jonunya1163]

This is a 90s movie. The target audience was also watching "Are You Afraid of the Dark" and "Unsolved Mysteries"

[@bd3966]

lol I feel the Binx and Dani relationship was big brother/little sister. I think he felt a fondness for her because she reminded him of his little sister thats all. and remember he was nice to her when her own brother wasn't.

Dani, to her mother at the party, explaining the whole situation was priceless. "See this cat, Binx, he can talk. My brother's a virgin, he lit the black flame candle, the witches are back from the dead, and they're after us." All I can think of at that moment, was "The only thing believable in that whole explanation was that her brother's a virgin." LOL!

[@JohnRandomness105]

Since she was speaking to Mom, she should have said, "Max is a virgin, he lit the black flame candle,..."

And when Dani said she hasn’t OD’d as in candy I was the most confused as to why they would EVER let that slide in a “kid” movie

[@CCSTRC15]

To provide context, the "virgin" the witches meant isn't someone who never has sex. But rather, someone with a virgin blood, meaning his/her blood has never been used in any rituals before.

2:05 "This is a child's movie." I love how all throughout, this Disney "family friendly" movie it finds new ways to prove otherwise! 😂

I actually found the relationship between Dani and Binx a little sweet lol. Dani always seemed so mature for her age so it was nice to finally see her as the little girl she was with her little crush 😂 The feelings were of course not reciprocated as she was moreso like a pseudo little sister to him in place of Emily but I liked that he kept up the Prince Charming stuff in consideration of her feelings.

I know this comment is like 2 years late but just wanted you to know that it is possible Disney would make a Hocus Pocus 2 considering that 3 years ago on their 25th anniversary a Hocus Pocus Book 1 and 2 were released. Book 1 was cool because it gave more detail into when Emily Binx went missing and how she’d see the witches in town and she didn’t understand why everyone hated the witches. And then book 2 was really good, very diverse and had a few left turns that you just don’t expect. And of course it has to do with Max and Alisons daughter, her girlfriend and a couple other kids in town, including the blonde bully J. He becomes principal of the high school after him and his friend were found 3 days after Halloween, apparently they almost died.. But yeah. Would love to see Disney turn that into a movie.
