Product Description
Young Mary follows a mysterious cat into the nearby forest and discovers an old broomstick and the strange Fly-by-Night flower, a rare plant that blossoms once every seven years. Together, the flower and the broomstick whisk Mary above the clouds, and far away to Endor College -- a school of magic run by headmistress Madam Mumblechook and the brilliant Doctor Dee.

LA recomiendo totalmente.
Am anfang ziemlich leise, wird dann lauter. Ich hatte ein kleines spiel mit der fernbedienung sonst alles Top!
But first i'll summerize my opinions on certain aspects of the film.
The Animation: as i said earlier it's pretty much superb and easily the best thing about the entire movie, you could probably stop at any scene and it could be framed and put on your wall as a piece of art, it's that good.
The Story: I have no knowledge of the source material so i have no idea of how accurate this actually is to the children's book by Mary Stewart, however even as an adult i did think this movie was pretty decent but i do have some problems, again, we'll get back to that.
The Characters: I said we'd get back to it, my main problem is the main character Mary herself, again i don't know how accurate to the source material it is, but Mary Smith may as well be called Mary Sue (sorry), the character development she makes throughout the movie is as unrealistic as it gets, so if this is supposed to teach some sort of moral lesson to children, i'm not really sure what it would be, both Mary and later her "friend" Peter are very irresponsible - although this is typical of children however they even cross barriers most kids wouldn't, like letting your friend go into a foggy forest in which you're 100% going to get lost and then just walking away from them, great job Peter, however the worst example i can't even say without spoiling the plot, but it involves Mary pretty much selling out Peter, so not exactly the best characters for your kids to look up to for moral lessons.
the rest of the cast is pretty standard and didn't do very much for me if i am being honest, the villains aren't bad enough that you can really hate them, nor are they entertaining enough that you'll like them, Mary's guardians do not fare much better.
Oh and that second nitpick of mine? they messed up the subtitles for the Japanese dub and there are two scenes that feature typos, luckily they are words that are easy to guess, not a big deal for adults, but not acceptable nontheless.
The only reason this even gets a 5 star rating from me is because i enjoy the animation, the plot is not the worst i've seen but it is not great, the guy that directed this movie also directed 'The Secret World of Arrietty' which could explain the art style, i enjoy that movie a lot more though.
All in all this is an above average film in terms of it's animation, perfectly average in terms of plot, and below average when it comes to characters and their development, it's probably going to be an entertaining film if you're not as critical as me and kids will probably love it, however having some better character development goes a long way, but you should give this movie at least a single viewing in my opinion as there are redeemable things about it.
A more realistic score would be a 3/5, but i will give it 5/5 since it entertained me.
