help The Witches FAQ
Is the child in The Witches a boy or a girl?
The unnamed child is a boy, played by Jahzir Bruno in the 2020 film. He travels with his grandmother, played by Octavia Spencer, and is transformed into a mouse by the witches.
Where is the 2020 version of The Witches set?
Robert Zemeckis relocates the story to Alabama in 1968 rather than retaining the novel's English and Norwegian setting. The witches hold their gathering at a grand seaside hotel.
How is Anne Hathaway's Grand High Witch different from the other witches?
She leads the worldwide coven and devises a plan to turn children into mice using Formula 86. The film gives Hathaway's character an exaggerated mouth, clawed hands, and a theatrical Eastern European accent.
Is The Witches connected to the 1990 Anjelica Huston film?
The 2020 movie is a separate adaptation of Roald Dahl's 1983 novel, not a sequel to the 1990 film. Anne Hathaway and Anjelica Huston therefore play different interpretations of the Grand High Witch.
