Fantastic classic story of gaining the power to triumph over evil., 14 December 2003
Author: powrofwill from Toronto, Canada

I saw this movie on the big screen when I was 9 years old. The witch was as scary and impressive as the one in Sleeping Beauty. The boy's progression through learning magic was inspiring that all things are possible.

I continue to hope that this classic is not lost forever.
