    Beautiful Animation. Childhood Favorite

    I am 38 years old and I have never forgotten this version. I am from the UsA but when I lived in Germany at the age of 3 and up I would faithfully watch this movie. I remember being so scared of the Flying Monkeys. It truly was a dark scary scene. Japanese Animation in the 80s is something to behold. This movie I used to pop in my VcR and watch but today I have managed to find it on youtube. If you have young children I would 100 percent put this on for them. It stands the test of time. The voice Actors are so good in this. The Bad Witch is so bad! The good Witxh is so pretty. Toto is the cutest lil doggie. Watch it. You won't regret.
