The Disney+ Original movie “Hocus Pocus 2” is a live-action comedy and the delightfully-wicked sequel to Disney’s Halloween classic, “Hocus Pocus.” Bette Midler (“The First Wives Club,” “Beaches”), Sarah Jessica Parker (“Sex and the City,” “Divorce”), and Kathy Najimy (“Sister Act,” “Younger”) star as Winifred, Sarah, and Mary, the beloved Sanderson sisters, who bewitched audiences in the 1993 film. Doug Jones (“The Shape of Water”) also returns as Billy Butcherson. Joining them are Sam Richardson (“The Afterparty”), Whitney Peak (“Gossip Girl”), Belissa Escobedo (“The Baker and the Beauty”), Lilia Buckingham (“Dirt”), Froy Gutierrez (“Teen Wolf”), with Tony Hale (“Veep”) and Hannah Waddingham (“Ted Lasso”).
“Hocus Pocus 2” is directed by Anne Fletcher (“Dumplin,’” “The Proposal”) from a screenplay by Jen D’Angelo (“Workaholics”) and a story by David Kirschner (“Hocus Pocus,” “Chucky”) & Blake Harris and Jen D’Angelo, produced by Lynn Harris (“King Richard,” “The Shallows”), with Ralph Winter (“Hocus Pocus,” “X-Men” franchise), David Kirschner and Adam Shankman (“Disenchanted,” “Hairspray”) serving as executive producers.
Each year on her birthday, high school student Becca ventures into Salem’s Forbidden Woods to set her intentions for the upcoming year. This year on her 16th birthday, Becca and her best friend Izzy light a special candle gifted to them by Gilbert, who runs the Olde Salem Magic Shoppe, the Black Flame candle, which resurrects the 17th-century Sanderson sisters from the dead, surprising Becca and Izzy, and sending them on a dangerous Halloween adventure.
Winifred, Sarah, and Mary were the most powerful coven of their time before they were executed for practicing witchcraft and vowed to take their revenge on the town of Salem. The last time someone lit the Black Flame Candle was 29 years ago, and the trio of witches are eager for vengeance, but also to restore their looks…because, as all witches know, stealing the souls of children is the quickest way to a more youthful appearance. Now it is up to Becca, Izzy, and their estranged friend, Cassie, to figure out how to stop the ravenous witches from running amok and wreaking a new kind of havoc on Salem before dawn on All Hallows’ Eve.

I feel like if they did a third the mother witch will be the antagonist and they’ll need to call the sisters back for help. And did you notice at the end of the first movie Winnie yelled for book and this time she yelled for her sisters 😭😭
Yeah. I could see that.
@@entertainmentlife430 we need the history of mother witch and why she was by herself? She said she lost her coven, which means she either tried to do the power spell to get all the power and lost her own sisters/friends or because of what was going on at that time in Salem. Her coven suffered at the hands of the reverend/villagers. But, I’d like to think the 1st scenario is more accurate because when Winnie asked why she can’t used the power spell, she said BECAUSE I SAID SO.. doomed is the witch that uses the spell..also, book doesn’t like that spell. So it means she has lost a lot and book has seen such loss, that’s the reason it should not be used at all. Mother Witch learned her lesson, but also…maybe Mother Witch is EVIL and she turned her back to her coven for all the power. By her following the 3 new young witches…who knows if her intentions are good or bad.
@@SaGeForReal true.
@@SaGeForReal I think she did do the spell because her eyes were glowing and Winnie’s were glowing after she cast the spell
@@nickgemerek6820 yep like I said in another reply the 1st scenario of mother witch doing the spell herself and lost her coven…but we don’t know if she did it with good intentions or bad intentions.
Interestingly there's a Robot Chicken sketch that shows the Sandersons riding Roombas a la Mary in Hocus Pocus 2, with hilarious, albeit expected, results. Also, does anyone else think The Witch Mother used the Magica Maximae spell? It would explain her trepidation, not to mention Book's, and the fact that her coven is gone.
She did. She has glowing purple eyes as Winnie did when she did that spell
omg you are absolutely right. i just got chills
Yes that’s what I thought too
Now I need to watch it again!
i think in the third movie the sisters will be raised once more to combat the witch mother for a final showdown aligning themselves as good guys this time with the new witch coven
You missed that when they were summoned by the candle this time and started singing, Bette slapped Mary’s face and her “lip droop” “switched sides” for the rest of the film. This was subtly intentional in a Kathy Najimy interview, since Kathy found it too hard to droop to the original side any more.
I noticed that change of sides and thought how awesome the way they did that in movie
I missed that! I was wondering why the lip droop was on the wrong side
@na How on earth is that a cash grab. She just switched sides my lord
@@ThunderWolf600 lol I was thinking the same thing. I think people just like to say buzz words. "Cash grab"
@na how is it a cash grab when it’s a direct to Disney+ and most people who enjoy Disney movies already have a subscription. Sure, they may get a few more suscriptions and some DVD/Blu-rays, but in the grand scheme of things, it’s pennies to a giant like Disney
I really like that Book was so much more alive this movie. It was perspiring when it was hiding and hoping not to be found, and then it cried for Winifred and her sisters.
For being pure evil, that was the dumbest thing I've ever seen.
@@tevenr76 the way you pointed out that it was supposed to be pure evil lmao thank you for that. Gotta keep reminding myself these things 😂
I'd have to watch it again, but I'm not sure Book cried happy to see Winnie and her sisters. More the damage they'd do.
If you notice, the character arcs were more developed, for the main characters. Even Winnie, though it happened quickly, and at the end. When she lost her sister's, she couldn't go on, no matter how much power she had. The same could be said of Book. At some point even pure evil gets tired of its shtick. Would rather be left to slumber after 300+ yrs
I remember in the first one. The part that kneed me in the gonads, was when Mary blinked out of existence. Kathy Najimi, crooked face and all, in a child's voice simply said ... Bye Bye !!
@@tevenr76 well its a kids disney halloween movie after all.
The fun thing about this story is that no matter how old the main actresses get, they can always return without it being weird because in the story they haven't sucked the lives out of any children in a while, which was their whole deal. Getting old without kids souls to eat. And they haven't eaten since the beginning of the first movie.
Good explanation that's what I was thinking.
I think this was made for nostalgia purposes, but also to introduce the "new" witches. Maybe future movies or maybe even an ongoing series?
I think a prequel would be fun. A deeper dive into the Sanderson sisters in the earlier years. Those girls who played them did great!
I also think a part 3 with the original cast would be good, but as someone else said-it would need to happen sooner rather than later, as age will start becoming more and more of a factor
Knowing disney the new trio is gonna make a series on disney+
@@Scyclo I can 100% see this happening
They should have left the original as is. This film was pure shit.
@@kiraraval If they had to make a Hocus Pocus 2, I wish it would have been a prequel.
Disney found another source of $$$ so they’ll make it a franchise and milk it yo death.
I hope they do make a third, and bring back the girls from the sequel, along with Max, Allison, Dani, Binx, and Billy for the ultimate mashup!
Yess
Max would be 44 years old in the movie or older depending when the next movie takes place
Only problem is they cant bring binx back. In the original his spirit left the cat and he went to heaven with his sister.
Originally Dani/those birch was going to appear in the second but she couldn't because she was in another movie at the same time and was sad she couldn't make it
Binx moved on in the first movie. I wonder if the new coven will have their own. Maybe like a familiar.
I thought it was a great sequel to the first movie. The makeup was spot on, it looked like time had not passed at all. All three actresses are on board for a Hocus Pocus 3. If the story's good, and are a fan of nostalgia, then it'll be epic.
Are they really? I pray for that! And agreed - well said. :)
@@flav2689 Do you think they remember everything from the first movie but no
Wasn't a big of hocus pocus 2 didn't didn't really like the story line and just feel it was to modern
It was good but a little over-acted I felt. The best part of the film was the ending. It showed a different side of Winifred that was really sweet and touching. If they do a third, I'm hoping they can get the original cast to come back as Max, Allison, and Dani. I'd also really like to see how Jay and Ernie (Ice) ended up LOL Who knows, maybe the third would be a better sequel than the second.
No they're not. Bette Midler stated less than a month ago during an interview, that she was very pleased with the sequel to Hocus Pocus and, that she loved how they made it that Winnie realizes that her sisters are the most important thing to her, letting Winnie's soul finally rest with her sister after 300 plus years. She was asked about a third installment of Hocus Pocus, which she stated she would be interested in where they could go for a third movie, recommending it be a prequel using the three talented young actresses from the beginning of the second movie, and basing the entire movie on the young witches, stating that it's not best to allow Winnie and her three sisters to lay to rest forever. Then asked if she would be interested in making a 3rd movie she said no. She said at this point she's getting too old to do these types of movies, and that she genuinely loves how the creators let Winnie go at the end realizing what is truly important to her, which is family, and let her die with her sisters, in peace, to never be risen from the dead again. That the prequel idea is much more fitting and, would probably bring a bigger crowd than if they did yet another sequel of the Sanderson Sisters as adults being brought back to life for a third one. That she is officially hanging up her broom, and will no longer play the part of Winnie. (Which makes sense, because there's no need for a third one with the sisters as adults. It's been done twice now. Both times were very good, so just let the characters die with grace. Don't turn them into Michael Myers).
Then last week during an interview with Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy, they were both asked if they'd be interested in staring in a third Hocus Pocus if one was made. Both of them stated they had so much fun doing it the first time and the second time, but there will definitely not be a third time. They basically said the same thing as Bette, and, stated that the third one should be a prequel to the second one, using the same child actors that played the sisters and, follow them as teenagers growing into their powers and becoming part of Books life, etc. That they think that would make a very good story and and very good movie that both of them would love to watch, but would not be a part of as actresses.
It sounds as if the three would be more likely to help produce it and have a say in the making of it, but not at all interested in acting in it. And who can blame them? They did amazing jobs both times around, and they're not getting any younger. Plus, a prequel with the witches as teenagers, being exiled from their home, coming in contact with the elder witch, getting their full powers, getting book, becoming to live in the forbidden Forest, etc, would be a very interesting movie that I for one would love to see. (Plus, I hear tell that there is already a prequel script to the second movie being worked on, hoping to start production next spring in Rhode Island. I really hope they get a good crew of writers, write a good script, and make the third installment happen as a prequel to the second, with the same girls that played the younger version of the witches. I'd definitely watch it!).
It was much better than I was afraid it would be. My fiancée put it perfectly though: it's like 2 writers made 2 movies and put them together. I didn't care about the new cast at all, it was empty and cringe start to finish, but every minute the Sanderson sisters were on screen it was worth it.
WHY was so much time wasted on the mayor wanting to get a candy apple?! WHY?!
That’s like saying why is your mom my mistress? We don’t make the rules junior. We just break them. Oh and tell that bone slugging knob she owes ME fifty bucks. I could get a better blow from a slight breeze!
The girls wore colors similar to the sisters in their costumes.
I have a theory that the witch mother told them not to do the spell because she did it and that's why her coven is gone. Her bird form is also seen throughout the movie following Becca.
Remember when Mother Witch told winnie to not use the speel impacta maxima? (I thinks thats the name) one of them asked what happened to her coven and mother witch said,"Their all gone, along time ago" I have feeling she used that spell before and thats why she told winnie to never use it.
I agree. When we first meet Mother Witch we see a glimpse of purple eyes they get after the spell
That is what I sd
"The Witch is Back" was also used as a title of an episode of Season 1 of the original Charmed when the Halliwell sisters summon their great great great great great great grandmother Melinda Warren, the start of the Warren line of witches.
Hmmm even though Bette said she would love to appear in Hocus Pocus 3, I think it totally defeats the purpose of the ending of Hocus Pocus 2.
From the beginning of this movie, the main point was the loyalty and love of the Sanderson sisters. The reason they ran into the forbidden forest was because the reverend and villagers was about to separate the sisters. Then they met the MOTHER WITCH, who gave them BOOK and guided them on their journey as witches. However, there is something different with MOTHER WITCH compared to the Sanderson sisters. Did you see the kind of color her magic was?? It was WHITE, while the Sanderson sisters had their own colors red, green, and purple/violet. We also see a different color for Becca which was BLUE. Maybe Becca is a descendant of MOTHER WITCH?? Even the way they play with their match swirling it in between their fingers is eerily the same.
But anyways, I think if we do get a Hocus Pocus 3, it will be surrounding the 3 new witches and MOTHER WITCH will most likely be involved since we see her flying after them. I mean Gilbert does has another Black flame candle and maybe there is a spirit or soul in Cobbwebb (Gilbert’s black cat). Remember Sarah saying she feels it is Zachary?? But they also did mention when they were young that they wanted to turn John (the guy Winnie was supposed to marry) into a cat. So it might be John??? I’m not sure, I mean the Sanderson Sisters have a long history in Salem and it could be anyone that they have cursed or fooled around with before getting defeated in 1993. It will be interesting to see what kind of storyline they will have with the 3 new witches and antagonists. I’m pretty sure we will see more of Gilbert and the Mayor..of course Mother Witch…but who else are they going to introduce??
I think the sisters can be summoned against their will. The third movie the Mother Witch might summon them to help her take over Salem. Edit: Thackery is in heaven btw.
Your comment was deeper than this whole (very obvious details) video.
👏Thanks Sage
Thackery not Zachary
@@ginapetolicchio2684 beat me to it
I'd be interested in a Hocus Pocus series about the new teenage witch and her friends. Could flash back to old Salem and young Sanderson's occasionally.... If done right
I watched part 2 earlier this evening. Though I didn't find it as inspired as the original, I did enjoy watching the three recreate those Iconic characters. I hope that they do a part three but quickly. The age of the actresses now mostly in their early to mid sixties, is evident in their performances. But it was still very good.
SJP is 57, Kathy Najimy is 65, and Bette Midler is 76
@@LilMslDev Holy shit Bette Midler was fantastic for 76.
@@AbbeyMarieEsp
That’s why she is known as the Divine Miss M!!!
An interesting thing, in the first movie when the witches died at the end, Billy Bucherson did not die, but does die in Hocus Pocus 2. That means he was alive in his grave for 29 years
That's what he says to Gilbert. That he was woken up, but never put back to sleep.
He says that in the movie. No one put him back to sleep
They fact they had Hannah Waddingham in this movie and didn’t give her a full song to sing is a crime. She was only in the movie for less than five minutes, and she was my favorite character. I hope she returns for Hocus Pocus 3.
Also when her character said “A witch is nothing without her Coven.” My mind went to Motherland: Fort Salem, a show about witches in the US Army in an alternate timeline, with one of the main things being witches forming a unbreakable bond with their Unit (“Coven”).
Loved seeing Hannah Waddingham in the film as well, Miranda! Would have been awesome to see her sing as well! I'm guessing you've seen her in Ted Lasso? 🙂
And thanks for letting me know about Motherland: Fort Salem - haven't come across that show before. 👍
@@FlicksAndTheCity I wish, but I have seen compilations of the scenes/best moments, and her character is my absolute favorite. I’ve mainly watched her interviews, and she’s Sunshine incarnate. As for Motherland: Fort Salem, it’s so good! Fantasy meets slightly altered history. And it has Emmy Winner Sheryl Lee Ralph as the President!
@@CWazBroadwayBandGeek I'm gonna have to see about checking that out - thanks, Miranda!
You're spot on re HW! I was lucky enough to interview her a few years ago now when she was in Game of Thrones ('Shame!!!!') and she was an absolute delight! Very happy to see her out there thriving! 🙂 And, yes, what a voice!
I have no idea who that is
@@FlicksAndTheCity also the other heavy witch coven show simply called “Salem” also on Disney plus which starred Lucy Lawless aka Xena as a big bad ancient witch the Countess Marburg (in season 2) moving in to take over the reigns from a smaller coven lead by smart witch Mary Sibley who are all trying to summon Satan via a Grand Rite, and killing off and manipulating the salem townsfolk. Then it becomes all about inter- witch politics and witch rivalries. It’s a few years old now but 3 seasons worth of a great atmospheric horror/drama and a very catchy Marylin Manson opening credits song whom I normally can’t stand.
I would love a third movie that's a prequel with the young sisters. They were all fantastic.
SAME!!!! I WANT A PREQUEL WITH THEM!!
Casting directors seem to have a gift for casting young versions of Bette Midler. In the beginning of Beaches they cast Mayim Balik as young CC Blume, Bette's character in that movie. Here the girl playing young Winefred was dead on even in the manerisms.
same lol I thought those kids did great at being the Sanderson sisters and the one playing Sarah had me laughing pretty good
Agreed. If they have to do a third one it should be solely a prequel.
I loved the first movie and thought the acting was 100 times better, but the second movie was ok. I did like the explanation of how there was a black candle and I especially liked the ending, it almost made me cry. I felt like maybe the sisters were trying a little too hard to be themselves (witches). They were so much genuine in the first movie.
I hope they do make a Hocus Pocus 3 sequel! I never get tired of hearing Bette Midler, and I love the Disney charm!
Charm??
Did you like the pinocchio remake??
8:48 you forgot a curiosity: The cosplay/costume contest scene is a reference to when Charlie Chaplin went to a costume contest of himself to participate AND LOST, even if it was the original🤣 just like what happened to the Sanderson sisters
something I love was when the Sanderson sisters see the black cat and they thought he was Binx🤣🧡my poor and beautiful baby
other curiosity/easter egg is that when Gilbert walks through the curtain/door, he is whistling the song Winnie sings in the first movie
okay...do you rememember how winnie's eyes started glowing when she made the magicae maxima spell and then lost her sisters.....i think that's how the witch mother lost her coven, cause you can watch her eyes glow the same way when she tries to get Sarah, and it's probably the reason she knew why that spell is so dangerous and didn't want winnie to cast it........
Cannot wait til Hocus Pocus 3! They are incredible movies!
Would be great to see what they get up to in a third film, Kevin! Had a lot of fun watching both the 90s & 20s ones!
I would love to see a 3rd sequel and bring back the original characters from the 1st movie.
Yea but they are older now maybe a sequel with new kids
Shouldn’t done it with this one!
Anyone notice that the Mother Witch's outfit looks very similar to the witch costume Dani wore in the original.
No because it wasn’t
No. Because Book was given to Winny by the devil, himself. Or did they just retcon that, too?
@@Miyavisgirl1540 that was on a plaque when it was in a museum, which was probably written by descendants of the witch hunters of Salem, from the stories that were passed down to them. Makes sense they would say the book was given to them by the Devil.
Dani’s costume was like, blood orange and black with suns all over it.
@@Miyavisgirl1540 they retcon everything even Billys death
I really enjoyed it. All that was missing were at least cameos by the original kids. Hope they bring them back if there's a third one.
Something I noticed was that the third girl (mayor’s daughter) wore a tie dyed shirt and a beige sweater over it. I think it’s a reference to Max’s tie dye and Alison’s clothes together.
That movie was mainly made to introduce the young little witches as “the new Sanderson Sisters”. We’re most likely getting a Hocus Pocus TV series on Disney+ about the 3 new young witches. Original cast may appear occasionally as special guests.
Id be SUP..........PER hyped IF they do that.
Highly unlikely. Bette Muddler and SJP’s pay rates are way too high for just a series in Disney +. I could see a third movie with them making an appearance, but no way they’d show up in a tv show for Disney+
I really hope there will be no series. It would take away from the specialness of the movies.
I wouldn’t be surprised one bit by this. After all, look what Disney did with the Mighty Ducks. Obviously they’re running out of ideas.
Thank you for pointing out all the details, loved it, can't wait for Hocus Pocus 3 hope they don't take as long to bring our favorite witches back
I bet a third movie is in the works. Maybe it will bring back Mother Witch and also Dani (Thora Birch), who was supposed to be in this one.
loved it, good watch. Totally brought back these nostalgic moments I didnt catch the first watch!
At the “one way or another” scene there were a few people who were wearing red glitter dresses. In the first movie during “I put a spell on you” there also were ladies wearing red glitter dresses
Great review! The only one I can think of that you missed was Danny from the original was wearing a very similar costume to what the dress of the witch in the beginning of the new movie was wearing
Also Penny Marshall why played the lady with the rollers in her hair with her real life brother Garry Marshall who played Satan. This is a tribute to them as they both sadly passed. Garry died in 2016 and Penny died back in 2018. I thought this was a nice tribute to them
I thought about that too.
I hope I was not the only one crying my eyes out when Sarah and Mary where dying 😭😭😭
You weren't. Although the waterworks didn't really start for me until Winnie realized her sisters were gone.
@@julesdiamond2309 for me was when Sarah started to disappear, waterworks began
And there is also more references you completely ignore like:
When Winnie was finding a spell to her and her sisters on revenge on the town, i believe that they did mention of the Life Spell they did on the 1st film before Winnie doesnt want to do that anymore and looking for the power spell instead
And at the end of the film when new good witches heading to the foggy road a crow or raven is seen following them is most likely the Mother Witch from the beginning of the film
There WOULD be 2 candles... seeing as how the candle is made from the fat of a hanged man. There were 2 hanging men available with the book still awake when the young Gilbert had entered the cottage that night in 1993....Gilbert did say that making the candle was messy.
I think that Gilbert is also the one who let the boys out of the cages
Looking forward to seeing what comes next with the Hocus Pocus Saga, and thanks for this video.
I think you missed the biggest detail, in how the 3 teenage girls are referenced to the 3 sisters. Cassie looks similar to Sarah, Izzy, similar to Mary, and Becca, like Winnie. You touched on it slightly with the walk they did, though. Nice clip though.
I liked all the tributes I picked up on before I watched this! Great content keep it up.
As I read comments on the second movie. I want to mention that Book was supposed to have been given to Winifred by the Devil himself. And in the second is given to her by Mother witch? Hmm? And was the second black flame candle made from the fat of a dead man too? I thought of these things as I was watching the second movie.
Yes! And not only that, but, Gilbert talks about how he was walking the streets and saw the Witches fly over head and followed them to the cemetery and saw their demise. That shouldn’t be because prior to the cemetery scene, Sarah sings her song and hypnotizes all the children of Salem to come to their cottage. Gilbert would have been hypnotized also, not walking the streets.
The villagers who took the book from them in the first movie would have automatically assumed it was a gift from the devil. They weren't even thinking it could have been from anyone else.
Not necessarily He could have just used a bit of the wax from the first one, even just a tiny bit means it's probably from the same man.
Did anybody else notice how the little girl in the first film was wearing the mother witches costume for Halloween :)
i liked the movie. i honestly had low expectations and i find it hard to care when a franchise introduces new characters as protagonists, but it was better than i thought it was gonna be and i did care for the friends (i liked the girl that was in the middle of the fight the best). the guy who played the reverend/mayor was hilarious (he gave me 1993 movie vibes) and the girls who played the sandersons were immaculate. it still left me with questions, though. why did winnie, who just turned 16, seem to be the only one taking care of her little sisters?
what happened with max, dani and allison? what was up with cobweb? he clearly knew something.
I have a hunch that despite being called Allison, Vinessa Shaw was really playing herself. I've seen her interviews and she seems every bit as sweet and caring as "Allison". She played a nearly identical character, Kimberly a year before in Ladybugs with Rodney Dangerfield.
Another similarity between the two films: Notice that Winnie shoves her sister Sarah into the invisible barrier created by salt to test whether it's real in the sequel. She also shoves Sarah onto the paved street in the original film as a test because none of them knew what it was. This trio is hilarious together!
It was a fun movie to watch and see the sisters again :) Lots of references to the first movie for sure. A few I missed but there is one I saw that wasn't mentioned (unless I missed hearing it?). At the apple stand the banner said "Rotten to the Core", referring to the song sung in the "Descendants movie". I'm ready to watch it again.
Great catch! This was a nod to the original director Kenny Ortega. He also directed descendants.
The sisters are back, yeah!!
All of the eyes shown throughout the movie are also a reference to clairvoyance - hence why there are so many in the magic shop - because that's what eyes represent in the real world (the third eye, the all-seeing eye). They also represent omniscience and the gateway to the soul. I don't think all of the eyes in the movie are necessarily a nod to Book. It has its own eye so further reference to it isn't necessary.
I don’t know if this was mentioned already, but another Easter egg is in Dani and the mother witch have a very similar costume on. Almost like Dani dressed up as Mother for Halloween.
We really need a third movie!!!! I was obsessed with the first film from the day it was released (I’m 42 now so do the math..!) and couldn’t wait to see this one! I’d love it if they all started in a final film! 🧙♀️ 🎃 🔮
Thank you ... this has been the only recap to throw the Thriller reference out there. I've put in in every one of my comments. Bravo
Did anyone notice that the mayor and Cassie's house looked exactly like Alison's in the 1st film.
I think Allison is Cassie‘s mother - because Cassie is wearing the same cardigan as Allison in the first movie.
I hate how they made the mayor look like a complete dumbazz
I thought that too, but his wife is shown on the billboard and it’s not Alison. Maybe mayor traske was Alison’s older brother who went off to college and wasn’t shown in the first movie, and he inherited the house as the oldest child.
@@marleneperez8195 maybe Alison is her mum but they just got someone else for the photo. I think there's definitely a connection somehow.
Great recap of this movie. My family and I really enjoyed it during our movie night. I love the details that you picked out and we noticed some these ourselves. We wished that “ I’ve got a spell on you” was sang again. That would have been awesome. Definitely subscribing and returning for more reviews! ✨🌟✨
Yes, that song was such great fun definitely! 😀Many thanks for subscribing and so glad you enjoyed the new movie and spotting all those details! 😊
Listen closely, when Gilbert is walking into one of his first scenes he is whistling I Put a Spell on You. I can't believe this video didn't catch that.
I absolutely loved it, it was a great sequel had some cringe moments but was great; so happy I got most of the Easter eggs and I definitely think Disney will be open to a 3rd movie cause of the ending credits and all 3 of them confirmed they would do a 3rd one and I would love for the 3rd film to bring back the OG cast and give some nods to the book and I think it would be cool for the OG cast and the new trio take on the witches or befriend the Sanderson sisters and they battle mother witch or mother witch returns and finds her coven and it’s a big witch battle it could definitely be a great final film!
I had no idea about the end clip, will look out for that now. I really thought they did a good job bringing it up to date using phone filters and Alexa!! I did notice on your clips- on the Applectic stand there is also the words "rotten to the core" which is from Descendants. Will be looking out for all the others now!
I will forever not refuse to cry for Sarah her goodbye hits me every time especially when you compare them together they sound the exact same she never deserved to😭😭😭😭😭😍
2:05 Notably, the song that plays right after the opening title card is Skeleton Sam by LVCRFT, furthering the connection!
I don't remember you mentioning that they tell the band to "try to keep up" like Marty McFly did in Back to the Future
End was so funny when the witches dance and also when she yelled luuunch !!😂
Anyone else noticed that the outfit the witch in the forest is wearing was similar to the witch costume Danni wears in the first movie?
I think for Hocus Pocus 3, the villain is the mother witch, somehow, and the heroes are the new girls BUT, we have Max, Alisson and Dani for a comback. And when everything is going wrong, the bring the sandersons back at the last minute to ask for their help
Loved all these little details that I missed gotta give it up to the 3 young actresses that plaid the 🧙♀️..they were spot on
The sequel will never compare to the first but it was still amazing!
I love hocus-pocus 1 and 2 ....and I love the lady's that are playing the Rolls
. Thank you for sharing this with me
One mistake they made is that in the first movie they said the book was given to them by the devil but in this one it was given to them by the mother witch
They did get the book of their mother maybe it was a rumour about in the film suggesting it could of been from the devil
They prob said "himself" to keep it a secret of who the person who actually gave the witches the book
hi jan! you were very much missed! loved hocus pocus 2! the og is still better but this was a great follow up. great video btw.
Aw, that's very kind of you to say! 😊 Been dealing with some health issues so I've not been able to share as many videos as I'd like. Thanks so much for keeping watching - it's lovely to hear from you! And so glad you enjoyed the films and the video. 😊
@@FlicksAndTheCity i’m so sorry to hear that :( i just hope you remember all the happiness you give to so many people by posting! your videos alone help me through things and i hope you can find something to help you through yours.
@@Asami0303 That really means a lot to me! 😊 I'm so happy to know that what I do on my little corner of the internet helps you. Thank you again for taking the time to write something so lovely.
I just realized why the witch in the beginning told them never to do that spell. That's must be how she lost her coven...
I love it. Can't wait for the third one.
I feel like if they did a part three, the Sanderson Sisters will be good witches
Wow 🤯🤯 I love Hocus Pocus and just hope the 3rd one don't take as long to come out like the second one did lol and I really enjoyed this video thank you❤️❤️
So much details, I love it
All of the eyes represent the evil eye which is a symbol of protection. The colors of the witch mother also refer to Hecate the Mother of Witchcraft and witches. There is alot more pagan and occult references in this movie than the previous. Not everything is a reference to the book.
Going back to the eyes that you spoke of, they’re actually on the dresser knobs and walls too on 3:22
I also noticed the 3 main girls have the same hair style and the Sanderson sisters
Nice catch, Adam! 🙂
@@FlicksAndTheCity thank you🤗
Honestly, if they do make a third hocus-pocus movie, I hope that we get to see not only the Sanderson sisters, but also their witch mother that appeared in the very first scene of the movie I literally love everything about this focus
Okay people.
I think most people somehow think this movie was going to replicate the exact same feeling of this first film. OF COURSE if won’t. It was made in 1993 & now it is 2022. Just like films look & feel different in the 70’s, 80’s & early 2000’s etc.
Let’s be real now, we’ve seen some sequels/remakes that are just plain AWFUL & I went into this film not knowing what to expect, but honestly they did a bloody good job at this! & Introduced new characters, arcs, unanswered questions & revelations. I’m giving it 7/10
Here is why:
1. The opening segment with the Disney logo going into horror is something I’ve never seen before so bravo.
2. The flashback to the Sisters childhood was executed very well, the 3 young actresses did a stellar job & how they got the book/who MOTHER was/ how Sarah came up with the song “Come little children”/ Winnie & Sarah & Winnie’s relationships with Billy were answered.
3. Keeping to original score for scenes & dialogues kept it feeling nostalgic.
4. The 3 new ‘Witches’ gave a modern day feel to the film & they performed well for me, that’s a lot of pressure to be in a franchise like this & I’m keen to see where their arc goes from here.
5. And people saying jokes in the film were just repeats of the first, I digress. The Funniest parts of the film: Winnie slapping the hell out of Sarah, Mary thinking the face moisture mask was the face of a child, Sisters thinking there was small women trapped in the “Alexa” box, seeing themselves in the shop mirror, Winnie interacting with a Drag Queen version of herself on stage etc.
6. The Reverend/Mayor portrayal was full of humour & wit & gave the witches a driving force for revenge.
7. Gilbert was a nice touch & then him seeing the witches original death made complete sense as to why he turned the house into a shop (although it seemed the house was in a different location?)
8. I will say the BF of the new trio girls was extremely dull. Was he meant to be a jock and a nerd at the same time? Weak character & his acting was cringe.
9. I think Sarah Jessica Parker struggled a little with getting back into her role (maybe it was her dialogue) but as the film went on she got there.
10. The sisters chemistry & mayhem was still intact, especially with the ending. Showing a soft side to Winnie & how much her sisters meant to her, very unexpected ending but emotional exit and performance from Bette here.
11. Some jokes were a tiny bit forced I’ll admit that.
12. Billy’s role was nice & his relationship with Gilbert (also a bit of shock he was English cockney?) suppose he didn’t speak much in the first film.
13. The witches singing when they returned at first didn’t seem like a good idea but I like how the girls ran from them & Sarah gave an abrupt end to the song.
14. ‘One way or another’ was a perfect song choice for them & bewitching the towns folk/all of them moving in sync looked great & felt nostalgic, very MJ thriller vibes.
15. Sarah & Mary getting powers was a lovely surprise, although they could’ve made more of a deal out of it.
16. Sarah standing up to Winnie was something new & funny how she immediately retracted.
17. The fact that Kathy had to make a statement explaining why her mouth was crooked the other way is ridiculous. And in the film, Winnie slaps her mouth so makes it crooked the other way, so no need for the explanation.
18. And the witches determination was different in the film, not only did they want children’s souls but Winnie wanted to use the forbidden ALL POWERFUL spell, so the stakes are raised here.
19. The post credit scene was a perfect teaser & hopefully they’ll bring back the OG kids from the first film to Hocus Pocus 3.
20. The use of Salt in the film really highlighted how something so simple can have such an impact on their powers.
21. Because Bette, Sarah & Kathy are older now, it helped with the witch looking element (in a nice way).
22. The CGI I’ll admit could’ve looked a little better when they were flying although the effects used when Winnie became all powerful & cast a spell on the whole of Salem looked very good.
23. The costumes & wigs department did a Stellar job!
24. Having the witches interact with modern day technology was fun (1993 wasn’t even that long ago & look at what has changed).
25. The two guys watching Hocus Pocus on their TV screens as Winnie flew past was very meta, nice touch & opens up so many questions.
26. I think people really just decided to hate this film before they even gave it a chance, watch it again.
27. The movies are mega HD now so that’s why they don’t feel as nostalgic, I think if they used some of the old camera equipment & technology like they did back in the day it would help.
28. Honestly the movies wasn’t perfect at all, but for a sequel to come out 29 years later, they did a decent job.
29. And I’m sick of people saying it’s WOKE CASTING. In the original film there wasn’t a single bit of dialogue from someone of colour or someone Asian/Mexican/Indian so to have different cultures represented in this film IS modern day America (even though that was still the case in 1993). So please don’t confuse your wokeness accusations with your subtle racism/sexism
The walk was originally done by the Monkees in 1967, only they had their arms over each other's backs.
I would be EXTREMELY EXCITED!!!!
Love the Sanderson sisters great movie still watch every Halloween. Can't wait to see new one!
also in addition to the madonna one, there was also a group of women in red sequin dresses in the dance scene is a reference to the first one too
In the dancing crowd to find the mayor you can also see someone dressed like Billy as well.
It was surprising well done. Sometimes sequels are a disappointment, but not this. I think I still love the original the best, but this did an awesome job. I was hoping they would incorporate some of the original cast members, in various parts scatter throughout, and I read that most wanted to be in it, but were not asked. But, I would definitely give it two thumbs up!
I thought the movie was fantastic and I am 35! They did the Sanderson sisters justice. I know for the third movie they will bring back the original characters and probably have a moment in the third movie where they combine their hands and share the magic to do a big shield and laser beam spirit bomb to destroy the original source of all magic in salem WHOEVER that is.
When they were on stage, there is a woman dressed up as Ursula
Thank you for mentioning the post credits scene! I stopped the movie and hadn’t seen that!
You're welcome, Jenna! :-)
The apple picking place also used a „Rotten to the core“ sign which reminded me of the first Song in Disneys Descendants.
Also, the eyes embroidered on Mother Witch's Costume and the same color scheme can be found on Danny's Costume from the first movie. ;)
The Sanderson sisters Cottage used to be in the middle of the Woods, so it's pretty messed up that his shop is their old Cottage because that means that they basically cut down the forest and built all that stuff there which kind of doesn't make sense because you would had expected their Cottage to be within the Forbidden Forest Area kind of thing you know so I don't know whatever
I feel like a 3rd movie of Hocus Pocus with Omri Katz as Max Dennison and Thora Birch as Dani Dennison and Vanessa Shaw as Allison I want them back for the third movie they are the best actors from the first movie and I want them to come back for the 3rd movie.
Vinessa*
I wondered why Mary didn't yell "Broom Hoooo!" Like she did in the first. Lol
I’m kinda sad that none of the original “kids” from the 90’s film made a cameo appearance in the reboot film. I was hopeful for a glimpse of them in one of the crowd scenes. 😢
They're also playing a song called "Skeleton Sam" when they introduce Skeleton High School.
Also, they page Archabald Sinclair at the school, a reference to the gravestone Max rides his bicycle by in the first movie
Midler and Parker are old witches, so kudos to whoever casted them in this role.
Am I the only thinking they are setting up a Hocus Pocus Disney+ series with this sequel as the essential pilot?? Cause... That Mother Witch bird flying after them at the end felt like an upcoming dialogue in like a first episode Hocus Pocus drama series to me...
I thought the same thing. that the series could follow the girls as they learn about magic.
@@sierragarza7854 for sure. And the Sanderson's can come back as either antagonists or like... Anti villains or eomething
So many goodies to find! However there is one Easter Egg I believe you misunderstood. The girls pretending to be witches when they are caught is a callback to Dani pretending to be a witch when they caught her.
Sanderson Sisters' Deaths
1. Hanged by Salem Town Folk (1693)
2. Exploded (1993)
3. Faded Away (2022)
so you missed that in the crowd of people dancing, you can see someone dressed up as the zombie billy butcherson
5:23 this would be a cool reason to bring her back if there's a third movie.
Damn what a great movie!! The robot vacuums were so clever!!!!! But also Tony Hale played Buster Bluth who was “good friend” to the robot vacuum on Arrested Development
The dance scene also features 3 women dressed as the supremes, and in front a guy dressed as the band leader all from the original film
