"Hocus Pocus" brings the glam, campy witches, and a talking cat on screen while "A Witches Ball" has a magical academy, riddles, and a talking rat! The movie follows Beatrix (Morgan Neundorf), a young girl who passes her final test to become a witch and valedictorian until her pending title is in jeopardy. The film carries a lighthearted tone in contrast to "Hocus Pocus" and contains family-friendly twists and turns that are just the right blend of spooky and silly.
