Room on the Broom

66Worth an evening.

Hospitality with a limit the story respects. Small and sound.

The review

The witch does not collect animals as accessories. Each one helps, each one is a burden, and she says yes until the broom itself objects. That is hospitality with physics. The dragon is a real threat, not a misunderstanding. They answer it together.

It is a short film and it does not pretend to be a scripture. It is a picture of a woman whose power is used to carry others, and of a company that carries her back. A small child can watch it. So can a tired adult who has started to think kindness is only a brand.

Journal

Keep Room on the Broom in the record.

Live Historic number 66. Yours can differ.

The glance

Piety is the thin one.

Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

Spirited Away

78 instead of 66

Spirited Away is still a family film, and it scores 78 instead of 66. What you gain is industry: She earns the rescue by labor.

ParaNorman

66Worth an evening.

Fear faced by understanding, not by a spear. Good for a child who can take a ghost.

The review

Norman is bullied for a gift that is mostly the willingness to hear. The town prefers a mob and a story about a witch. The film's turn, that the cursed child was a frightened child and the curse was the town's, is the right turn. It does not ask you to pretend the dead are cute from the first minute. It asks you to stop the torch.

Some of the jokes are ruder than the fable needs. The fable holds. A house can watch it near Halloween and come out less eager to chant at the odd boy. That is a rare result for a cartoon with zombies.
