The Worst Witch is all about a girl called Mildred Hubble who goes to a school called Miss Cackle's academy. Here she is taught various subjects by various subjects by many teachers. One called Miss Hardbroom who can magically appear anywhere! However everything Mildred does she seems to make a mess of things. She gets everything wrong and can't even fly a broom without crashing. To make things worse she has a deadly enemy, Ethel who also happens ...
...This was taken from the TV series which was a huge success and resulted in many children enjoying the worst witch. Although this film started life as a book it is more commonly known as a TV series because this is where it became popular. Most children would have watched this and enjoyed it. I really enjoyed this film when I was younger and my parents bought me the books and the films. It is really funny for younger children and one of those films ...

More Mildred

Advantages: Wonderful Stories - Not at all objectionable - Funny and Serious at the same time
Disadvantages: No special features - only DVDs of one series so far

I still remember the first time I saw The Worst Witch around 10 years ago. I was around Christmas and I was ill in bed, and was looking for something to watch, and passing ITV they were just introducing "The Worst Witch". Sounds interesting I thought, so decided to watch. Perhaps as a 14 year old boy I should have found something more suitable, but I really enjoyed it, and was hooked. I think the fact that I fancied a few of the girls may have been ...
...get to see much of the series when on ITV sadly, but it stuck with me, and I was pleased to see it again on Nickelodeon a few years later. I even bought the books, including buying the latest one just a few years ago (had anyone asked, it was for my young cousin's birthday). The series is about Mildred Hubble, known as the Worst Witch due to her slightly clumsy nature and habit of getting into trouble, not always of her own making. Not only that, ...

Good fun!

Disadvantages: May not be suitable for children who are old enough to understand innuendo

...for adults as well and Ice Age 3 certainly delivered on that front. I've seen Ice Age2 on TV but not the first film and never in the cinema. On top of that this was a 3D show. The story essentially follows Manny, the mammoth, his heavily pregnant wife, Ellie and Diego, the sabre toothed tiger as they venture under the ice to a land where dinosaurs are not extinct. They do this to try and rescue Sid, who feeling unloved due to the impending arrival ...
...subsequently been carried off with his 'children' by their real mother. In dinosaur world they meet Buck, the weasel with the Sylvester Stallone eyepatch and knife, the British accent (Simon Pegg voices him) and the literary connections to Captain Ahab of Moby Dick (both have been left injured by 'the great white beast', both are unnaturally obsessed and slightly unhinged by it). As a sideline, Scratt is still seeking his acorn but this time there ...
