- QuizLiccy Dahl has stated that Roald Dahl never again requested someone for a role in his book after the producers of Willy Wonka e la fabbrica di cioccolato (1971) denied his request to cast Spike Milligan as the title character. But he was ecstatic when Anjelica Huston was cast as the Grand High Witch, as she had been Dahl's personal favorite for the role.
- BlooperWhen the Grand High Witch and her assistant enter her room while Luke gets the formula, they're wearing pointy shoes. Earlier, it was mentioned that witches never wear pointy shoes. However, the original book suggest the Grand High Witch does wear pointed shoes to great discomfort and hates wearing them, this fact is not mentioned in the movie to explain the shoes.
- Citazioni
Dora: [to another witch, under her breath] We can't possibly wipe out all of them.
Grand High Witch: Who spoke? Who dares to argue with me.
[she notices Dora, points to her]
Grand High Witch: It was you!
Dora: I didn't mean to argue, your grandness.
Grand High Witch: You dare to argue with me!
Dora: No, honestly, it just was a...
Grand High Witch: A stupid witch who answers back, must burn till her bones are black!
Dora: No, no!
Grand High Witch: A foolish witch without a brain, must sizzle into fire and flame! A witch who dares to say I'm wrong, will not be with us... very long!

- ConnessioniFeatured in Going Live!: Episodio #3.30 (1990)
Anjelica Huston does a marvelous job at portraying the snobbishly aristocratic Eva Ernst as well as her unmasked counterpart, the evil Grand High Witch. She definitely steals the show in this one, although Mai Zetterling does give one that warm nurturing feeling as the wise but kind grandma. And Jasen Fisher did a good job as well.
Not only is the acting good, but the special effects.. or should i see puppets and makeup.. are marvelous! The grand high witch without her face mask is really a terrible sight! And the little mice, really puppets opposed to the technological computer created special effects, really work out great and give a more earthy feel non animated animal movies.
If your an adult and your looking for a nail biting psychological thriller your looking in a very wrong direction. But if you are looking for a classic, fun, adventure for all ages- I suggest you watch this. I give it an A+!!!!!!!!
