The Witches (2020) VS The Witches (1990)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 чер 2024
- The Witches is a book that is written by Roald Dahl. Roald Dahl has made many iconic stories in his time but The Witches is one that has completely eluded me. As a direct result, I have not seen the original 1990's The Witches movie and have absolutely no nostalgic connection or bias to it.
So in this video, we are going to compare the 1990 The Witches movie starring Angelica Huston, to the new 2020 The Witches movie starring Anne Hathaway, and which was directed by Robert Zemeckis.

Don't forget to give this video a THUMBS UP guys as it really does help in getting it noticed by UA-cam's unpredictable algorithm. :)
Thanks!
Will Wonka gets a 10/10 and Matilda gets a 9/10.
What would you rate the Willy Wonka remake
@@penguinmilkshake6257 he said 10/10
@@jamalabdirahim3984 I was talking about the remake called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and not the original. The original everyone loves but the remake is hated by many. It’s the one where Willy Wonka is played by Johnny Depp
Can u plz watch and review this movie called “Circle”, it’s on Netflix
the original is scarier than a venom cinematic universe
Lol. Very true. It's more graphic too.
Yeah, the High Witch from the original is so scary, she'd make the Witch of the West run for her money! Ann Hathaway's witch resembles that creature from Splice. One looks creepy, the other looks terrifying.
@@EricCarter12 “most likely”
@@EricCarter12 will you do a vs video on zombieland and zombieland double tap
2020 is better to me
In the original book, the boy had two mice, and they were not revealed to be children. The addition of the mouse child felt pointless and anticlimatic at best. 🐁😔
It's like they tried to make a Hermione Granger archetype but failed miserably.
I also think in the book, the whole plan to turn children into mice was something the grand high witch had JUST figured out how to do and the meeting was specifically to teach the other witches how to do it.
This is what I don’t like about modern cinema or adaptations. They tend to be bland and superficial passing as something deep. But I think this is because of the pc context, using the deep concept as a mask.
I agree, most remakes these days tend to be bland and uninspired, and makes you wish that you were watching the original instead. 😢
*cough cough* The Lion King *cough cough* Star Wars *cough cough*
It's all propaganda now. Pushing a very specific kind of "diversity" is more of a priority than making a good movie. It always comes off hamfisted.
When you listed off all those books at the beginning it gave me so much nostalgia, whether they were good or bad.

Everything is getting remade Mark my words there will be remakes of remakes of remakes
Hahahaha o jess it is o and next up is the little mermaid
A Star is Born
A remake of an remake of an remake.
A star is born jess indead hades is not happy
If Disney continues with their bland live-action remakes, i'm sure we'll see in 20233-2024 Mulan 2, Lady and the Tramp 2, Bambi 2, Peter pan 2 etc. I won't be surprised if the compagny will do remakes of thoses movies!
O you know they do im almost sure of it
If the 2020 movie is scary in any way is by showing how sanitized and boring the entertaiment has become
Why doesn’t your channel have more subscribers?! You’re amazing.
I loved the 90's film and most of Roald Dahl's books, because they weren't afraid to go into dark areas, though the 2020 version of The Witches failed in my opinion by removing everything that felt British as they forced it into a primarily black area, making it feel like a lazy raceswap. They should've done a sequel, where the kid from the original, is chasing after the remaining few witches, who were hiding out in the black neighborhood of the film, of course they'd have to rework the awful designs too, but at least it would've been a creative way to go, instead of just making it into The Witches Dis Time In Da Hood!!
Three things:
1) I read the original book in elementary school, and it looked gross.
2) I saw the 1990s movie right afterward, and 1) It is way more accurate to the characters from the book, and 2) I was so scared from it, I had nightmares when I went to sleep later that same night. However, what cheered me up from that was my introduction to Walking With Monsters: Life before dinosaurs (2005) when it was still on Netflix in the U.S.
3) I immediately knew the 2020 movie was going to be worse than the original, even if the latter terrified me. I had a hunch about this when I realized that Chris Rock narrated the first trailer. I am so disappointed by it.
Edit: The third female mouse in the 2020 movie is *NOT* in the original book. And that was another thing that disappointed me about the 2020 movie.
This remake: exist
Me: Disney, no
Disney: what?
Me: sorry, force of habit
Warner Bro’s, no!
simpsons reference?
Yes @@bazla123, yes
Yeah, tbh, if Disney made this an animated movie in the 80s, it would truly be great. But now... No thanks, it would look awful.
What they REALLY messed up about the 2020 Grand High Witch is the appearance. Anne Hathaway had the accurate appearance for this villain, not only for her beauty but her long, black hair. So instead of taking advantage of it, they give her a short, blonde wig.
Anybody miss the days when filmmakers put heart into their movies? it’s very rare nowadays
Eric, this is an unusual suggestion, but, would you ever do a VS battle between Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King, the original animated ones of course. 🙂
The witch scared me as a kid I was once at the Las Vegas airport The lady checking my mom and me on the plane look like the witch in the movie I was scared she was going transform me into a rat
O my good same thing has happened to me
Son: dad, when did you become a spy
Mr Bean: well, it all started: 18:32
I swear, the 2020 feels like a full-length Everybody Hate Chris Halloween special with elements from The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episodes.
I think if they were going to do a remake of the witches they should have done an animated version maybe in the same style as Coraline
Directed by Tim Burton
@@sakura3837 or Henry Selick Because I didn't like Tim Burton's remake of Charlie and the chocolate factory and Alice in wonderland
Same.
The Witches was the first Roald Dahl book and movie I saw. One of my most vivid memories of primary school was listening to my teacher read the book to us and watching the movie version. Seeing the Grand High Witch’s face without her mask at the age of seven always stuck with me.
Fun fact :although Roald Dahl hated the (1990) movie, he loved anjelica huston as the grand high witch
Not surprising.But i feel like every book author hate the movie version of their novels
Today I learned that same person who made Charlie and the chocolate factory made Maltida and Witches
He also did The BFG, James and the Giant Peach, Fantastic Mr. Fox and many more he was my favorite author growing up and I read all his books. The ones I just mentioned all have movies as well if u haven't seen them yet they've worth a watch although 90's The BFG was way better than the recent remake like always! 🤷♂️
Octavia Spencer was by far the best part of the remake, but unfortunately, she was miscast, and she can usually do no wrong. 😔
Oh man I loved Dahl as a kid! Thanks for the nostalgia!!!
We all did. No problem. :)
@@EricCarter12 also I would love to support you on patreon but I’m not sure how much to give. Any suggestions?
@@fazeboog4351 However much you feel comfortable giving. I will always appreciate it regardless of how much or little it is.
This is really good comparison work, especially weaving in the background and plot of the Roald Dahl Book. The 1990 movie was so legit and genuinely scary. The 2020 version seems to have been pulled apart by some unfortunate creative choices. I subscribed.
Im looking forward to a Willy Wonka vs Charlie and the chocolate factory versus video. Or a how to train your dragon 3 way versus video. Or a croods review(unless if you want to do a versus video when the sequel comes out). Or more about Shrek.
I like both Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory, and Charlie and The Chocolate Factory.
@@lisagaughan7154 same I like both
What a fantastic video Eric, thank you. I really look forward to the new videos
I don’t care how dated the original mice look: they are the cutest puppets I have ever seen in a movie!!! :)
Yay new upload
Just subscribed, great content!
Thanks Tammy!
I love Chris Rock but he was incredibly miscast in the movie
Ronald Dahl is one of the best children’s writers ever. Along with Dr. Seuss his books are mature and good for the kids and your review definitely shows his work justice. Also I just wanted to know if you are making a Spongebob movie vs video because this first movie is one of my favorites and I find the second movie underrated. I unfortunately can’t see the third movie because I live in the states but I am pretty sure you can see it on Netflix. Anyway great review. Also my favorite Ronald Dahl book is. Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. Please don’t hate me. I just like the wacky nature of the book even though I get how incredibly silly the book is
Catwoman in The Dark knight Rises is not even a villain
This was an amazing video.
Keep up the good work Eric.
So... I got an HBO trial to see the new witches. A few weeks later, I found the old one on Netflix. I liked the older one better. Although once this video was over I renewed the HBO to watch the new one then the old one again. You are exactly right! (BTW The old witches is no longer on Netflix.)
This is an excellent comparison/review. Thank you.
Your welcome Eric. :) Thanks for the kind words.
When I watched the witches 2020 version I couldn’t stop imagining Marty the zebra from Madagascar narrating it. Lol!
Eric I am a big fan your videos. You do an amazing job. You earned yourself a sub. Keep up the good work.
P.S. I would personally like to see some more Godzilla vs videos. Like maybe Ghidorah The Three Headed Monster vs Godzilla King Of The Monsters. Or The Original vs Shin Godzilla.
Or KOTM vs Skull Island
Another great versus man keep it up
Thanks buddy. :) I really appreciate it.
@@EricCarter12 your welcome
I watched the original Witches as a kid, about 10 years ago, and the only things I remember was the story of Erica, and how terrifying The Head Witch was without her mask. Nowadays, it’s not as scary, but I still think it’s really cool!
1990 unmasking of the Witches is very well done, while 2020 unmasking looks like a sequel, as if the Witches are still alive and well and they're back... It's like watching Ariel becoming a mermaid again in The Little Mermaid 2.
Hey Eric, If you were to a Sit down and Have to Watch a Roald Dahl remake movie which would you choose? Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or The 2020 Remake of the Witches?
That painting thing is Twilight Zone level horror. The stare she gives is hauntingly sad.
Can you please do a video about the old vs new on Matilda???
Also where is ur binge watch for series of unfortunate events season 3
he said he's working on it
yo eric wanna ask what you think about the new snyder cut trailer to me it is recycled bullshit with a small amount of new footage what are your thoughts
I loved the book as a child, I got scared after reading it but I loved it. I have watched the 90s movie and I loved it, but now I'm skeptical of watching the new one
Hey Eric great video I really enjoyed it and if u don’t mind me asking who are ur top 5 favorite superheroes
Hey carter! When you play Spider-Man miles morales can you do a vs video for the Spider-Man ps4 game and the Spider-Man ps5 game?
I was think of the same thing
Samee
Yeah same because it’s so good and they remake it for ps5 I want to see that video I have seen a walkthrough and it’s so emotional at the end it’s so powerful
I think the girl turning into a chicken COULD have been scary especially since they were on a farm and it is likely the family killed and ate their own child, BUT I think it was executed badly.
He's back finally he post a vid
The old one will always be special to me. I have a story on why:
When I was six or seven, my mum was away for the night, so it was just me, my dad, my brother, and my sister. I was sobbing because I hated sleeping in my own room and my mum usually let me sleep in hers, but my dad said I couldn't sleep in his. My sister, who was fifteen or sixteen, saw I was upset, and took me into her room. She had a double bed so that we could curl on it together without getting uncomfortable, and she got some sweets and sugar drinks, and she let me pick a film on Netflix. The Witches, 1990 version, was on there, and even though the image terrified me (it was of the Grand High Witch in her true form), I still wanted to watch it. We sat there for about fifty minutes, watching the film, until my dad came in and made us go to bed.
That memory is so special to me, and I remember how heartbroken I was when they took it off of Netflix.
I’m surprised Roald Dahl despised the 1990 version. Sure they changed the ending but an ending can’t completely change the film. The movie is still faithful to the book. And while the 2020 version does in some ways is more faithful plot wise, the whole feeling the film is too cartoony and tame, unlike the 1990’s dark yet heartwarming feel.
3:13 that sounds exactly like Marty from Madagascar.
I read the book and watch the 1990 movie in 3rd grade
Hi Eric brilliant comparison I completely agree. Since you’re getting into roald Dahl, could you compare the 70s wonka film to the 2000s Charlie film?
Am I the only one who never heard of this movie? No trailer whatsoever.
Same
I have seen the trailer it likes interesting a lot of people don’t like the modern movie type but some people enjoy it and myself included
That clip of the two Grand High Witches really showed the whole difference for me. The authoritative “Remove. Your. Vigs” vs “yooooouuuu maaaaaayyyyyy reeeeeeeemmoooooveee yoooooooour viiiigs”. Plus, if I remember right in then book it mentions that they have to remove their gloves and hats/wigs so no non-witches can infiltrate their meetings.
I got an idea for your next VERSUS video:
Wreck-It Ralph VS. Ralph Breaks the Internet.
24:15 What was that video with the multiple copyright claims?
Great video. Never saw it coming
Thanks Luke!
I never had a chance to watch either movie but i love the way you describe the differences of the material one fun one could be the original Jumanji vs Zathura (which is basically jumanji in space)
O i love zhatura he needs to do that
I love both movies.
The classic 90s original was directed by Nicolas Roeg whom directed the masterpiece adult horror beforehand in the 1973 movie 'Don't Look Now', which kinda explains why it's so superior. I also grew up with said original Witches movie and it has always stayed with me. I'd also consider it a fantastic entry for younger audiences getting into the horror movie genre :-)
Okay new upload 😊 good video, Eric how are you doing today 😁
Thanks buddy. I'm doing good. How about you?
I'm good
I personally enjoyed the remake. Obviously the original takes the cake, but I feel the remake could have been way better, if it were fixed of a few inconsistencies e.g the first witch's delivery, more horrific grand high witch design and less cgi. Also, much better acting from Hero Boy
Hey Eric Carter. This isn't related to the video, but is it alright if you please do a versus video between Marvel's Spider-Man and Marvel's Spider-Man Miles Morales? I would love to see those two go head to head.
The actresses in the original cannot be topped! May zettering acted throughout the golden age of hollywood as did Angelica Hustons father so the acting calibre literally cannot be topped!
Didnt knew this movie was made but im going to watch the original now
I remember watching the original in like 3rd grade
Mission impossible fallout vs John wick chapter 2
That would be cool I would love to see that I love both of those films
I love The Witches when I saw it as a kid in the early 90s. The original story that the grandma told of the child getting put into the painting, and eventually dying, still gives me goose bumps to this day (and again later in the film when we see another child in a painting fade away). The remake story of the girl being turned into a chicken had me laughing. However, when the dad (I think it's the dad, anyway) says "that's the biggest chicken I've ever seen", not knowing that it's his daughter, for a second I thought that the family were going to kill and eat the chicken girl... before I realised that that would be way too fucked up for a children's movie!
Eric nice review the tree scene with Luke was in the novel while the shop scene is filler personally I feel like even the appearance of the grandhigh witch in the original movie is much more faithful to the original novel illustration. The original to me is the novel brought to life while the new one is a completely different movie. You should read the novel
He evidently did, given his comments.
YAY u UPLOaDeD
Eric what is your top 5 favorite films of all time (not including THE DARK KNIGHT)
Hello Eric. Hope your staying safe during this pandemic. Just heard the news that Warner Bros. Is putting ALL 2021 movies to BOTH HBO Max and theaters. What is your initial thoughts.
Funny enough a few months ago, I watched "The Hustle" and thought to myself that the next role Anne Hathaway would receive either a witch role or a mean principal.
I wish they did make kids horror movies today and not just advertise something as a horror movie for kids only to play it safe and instead make it a lower quality superhero movie I’m looking at you scoob
I hear the hotel manager in the book wasn’t much of a character, but they definitely gave him quite a bit of stuff to do in the ‘90 movie cause he was played by Atkinson. But for the new movie they still could’ve given that character more to do, but in a different way perhaps.
3:58 XD 😂 Ed Edd N Eddy will always be funny to me.
Thanks for the heart, dude! Means a lot to me!
Likewise. :) This is not the first time I have used an Ed Edd'n Eddy clip in one of my videos.
@@EricCarter12 :O
@@sunnyriv The last time I remember was in that Godzilla versus video
@@atogon_art I was wondering which video he was talking about, thanks for letting me know. 😊
Not to be rude, but how are the HTTYD and Ghostbusters versus videos doing?
Also, great videos you just contiune to do.
Hey buddy. Thanks for the kind words. You're not being rude at all.
I mentioned some time ago that I probably won't be doing the How to Train Your Dragon video because I know for a fact that it's going to get copyright claims as the music is owned by Universal. And they are notorious for placing false copyright claims. So I will hopefully do it one day, but right now that video is on hold indefinitely.
And the Ghostbusters video I originally intended to make this year when Ghostbusters Afterlife came out. But the movie got delayed so we'll have to see what I do and when I'll release that video.
Thanks for watching buddy! Just know that I have plenty of other great videos on the way. Stay Tuned!
@@EricCarter12 Hey Eric, I saw the Witches remake last night and I didn't like it either but great video as always!
@@phoenixhunteryt7554 Yeah, it's a very disappointing movie.
Thanks buddy.
@@EricCarter12 Your welcome, by the way have you seen any of the Dr. Seuss movies before, Eric?
@@EricCarter12 UA-cam copyright systems, huh? Shame since John Powell made such amazing music for the trilogy. But could you provide some quick thoughts on the three HTTYD films?
Also, can't wait for your Ghostbusters video
The new one is supposed to be fun, comedic and children-friendly. It was set for a different tone, but the story-telling and presentation are just bad. So I think original one is superior than the new one.
9/10 = 1990 Version 1/10= 2020 Version.
the new Witches look more like aliens 👽
More like a ripoff Slenderman. 😑
@@CrownOfRoses541 mixed with joker and Gullum
7:20. WHOA!!!!! Geez! I actually recoiled from that. 😳
Good God, I miss the practical rats they used in the original Witches.
Minor issue. In the original book and movie, Grandma smoked cigars. I kind of wish they kept that element; we need more little old ladies who aren't afraid to light up cheap stogies.
Hey Eric! Why are the comments for the it (2017) vs video off? Thanks!
You should do a VS Video between Nickelodeon's Classic Masterpiece, Avatar The Last-Airbender and it's inferior but good sequel/spin-off, The Legend Of Korra, considering that they are both on Netflix.
If not, what are your thoughts ?
Hey Eric. Great video btw. I will check out the 90s version of the film, later. But if I am hearing this right. Both Disney and Warner Bros. are considering to put Wonder Woman 1984 and Black Widow on streaming. Do you support this or rather wait for another delay.
I would prefer if they just put them on streaming at this point. The hype has died down. And they might aswell release them.
Also I have a 4K Projector so I personally will still get a good cinema experience. So I'm not that bothered.
@@EricCarter12
I could agree with you. Just wish Black Widow was released in 2019. Rather than Captain Mary Sue. So SHE could get the delay problems NOT Black Widow.
Hey Eric, what movie are you more excited for this Christmas, Soul or Wonder Woman 1984?
Wonder Woman 1984 without a shadow of a doubt.
@@EricCarter12 What? Soul Is something that is a original movie and I love Pete Doctors directing Skills He has Directed some of the Most Cherished Movies like Inside Out, Up and Monsters Inc. So me Personally Is Excited For Soul more then Wonder Women.
Is it ok if you can do a 1967 Jungle book vs 2016 Jungle book it is the only Disney live action remake I am aware of that you didn’t do
I heard Del Toro wanted to make this film in stop-motion. Why didn’t they let HIM direct this movie? 😭
Why are u so underated??? Sorry if i hv got the spelling of underated wrong btw anyways love ur vids keep it up
Thanks for the kind words buddy. I really appreciate it. :)
Eric Carter U really deserve kind words btw kind advice to some movie creators 'Eric earned our kind words he didnt just suddenly got views and people started to like him'
Hey eric nice video keep it up i hope I can meet you one day and hang out and im going to check out your patreon
What are your thoughts on the Static Shock movie with Michael B Jordan producing?
I mean. At least the 90's version ending was like "Oh. cool. Happy ending to not scare the kids". But, yea, that's also why I am skeptical for any remake/reboot because it's either low effort...well, mainly low effort. I'd rather just watch any movie with a cohesive story with the visuals connecting that makes you that switch in your head go off and you're like "oh damn". I've seen the 90s movie, and ironically, watched it with my grandparents 7 times. Funny you brought it up because I always forget about the girl in the painting because my mind is more stuck on the Witch's practical effects.
Anyway, I'll a generic happy ending over some weird pop everyone's dancing ending. At least he was like "Don't forget about Bruno" when the good witch left. It is a possibility to redo this movie and do it by the book (no pun intended)
your back for now P.S i saw the 1990 movie in my old days in school and it was scary and terrifying and mr bean kill's the witch and the boy turn's back to normal in the old movie.
Hey Eric,
Can you review this movie called Wonder.Its a movie about a facially deformed kid going to school for the first time.Our class read this book in fifth grade and we also saw the movie.I personally enjoyed it.It’s a 6/10 imo but I wonder what you think of it
Can u make video about dark knight rises vs spiderman 3
Hmmmm, The grandma is coughing and the movie was released in 2020
*HMMMM*
I was wondering if you could do a vs. video of transformers 2007 and bumblebee 2018 please?
