Disney knows when they have a good thing, the fact they get along so well is just a bonus. They even left open the possibility for one more film (sooner most likely) because of the one black candle remaining at the end of the film. Not sure if they will do it but the possibility that it can be considered is just amazing.

[@larrypoppins6273]

This is the one instance where I wouldn't mind if Disney wants to milk this. If bette, kathy, and SJP are down I'd love if hocus pocus became a huge franchise with a million sequels. I need more of the Sanderson sisters dammit.

[@Pashasmom1]

The certainly ignored the good thing when they turned against Johnny Depp. Nobody can replace Captain Jack Sparrow. Nobody. Without him their sequels will flop.

I just adore these 3 ladies so much! They bring back so much warmth and nostalgia to me. I miss that era so much and just to see them back brings me back there ☺️

[@emilythompson793]

My mum MADE me watch Hocus Pocus as a child, and I'm SO glad she did. Hocus Pocus 2 is just as good as the first one, and Bette Midler has been my favourite actress since I watched the first Hocus Pocus at maybe 4 or 5. I'm now 25, my 8 year old wanted to watch Hocus Pocus and number 2 the second it was released. It is DEFINITELY a generational movie that will be considered a classic in years to come. All three look absolutely amazing, it's almost as though the 30 years was more like 3. I can't get over how young Cathy and Bette both look.

[@littletexas1882]

Literally just got done watching Hocus Pocus 2. It's really good. I liked the first one more. But it's VERY difficult to out-do the original. But it was really good!!! 😊😊🖤🖤

[@Doctor.Dentista]

I had never seen hocus pocus until a couple weeks ago, so I didn’t grow up watching it like everyone else. I think the sequel is funnier (but I prefer comedy over suspense)

[@notebookluvr]

Im 48 and i love Hocus pocus! My kids talked me into watching it with them somewhere around 2005 and i have loved it ever since! I am the same age as max and Allison irl, so i wasn't really into seeing it when it was released. The second one has gotten a lot of hate, but i like it. I watch it now, but not as much as the original. Sarah is definitely not as bubbly, goofy, and childlike as the original, and Mary seems to be less frightened of Winnie than in the first movie. I think Winnie is the most like the original character. The story of the second one is a pretty good story. I am just older and don't like newer stuff in my old age. I have already watched it at least 50x this year. Started in August. So probably more than that because sometimes i put it on several times a day. But I was on vacation twice in that time and didn't have access to it. For some reason Airbnb's don't think it's necessary for every room to have a TV. We do at home. I could have signed into my Disney+ and watched. I also have two DVDs of it, one for the living room and one for my room. It's just easier to access on Disney.
