For those wondering, the cut ending to the movie was that Luke is stuck as a mouse and he and his grandma make plans to kill off the rest of the witches that weren't at the meeting. Luke also learns that mice can probably live only another 9 years and decides that in the end, himself and Grandma will die together... yikes.

From IMDB: After a test screening, Roald Dahl angrily expressed to the producers how "appalled" he was at "the vulgarity, the bad taste" and "actual terror" in certain parts of the film. Dahl demanded his name and the title be removed from the film prior to release, but after receiving an apologetic, complimentary letter from Jim Henson, Dahl grudgingly withdrew his threat.

Same. In a movie with so many pants-wetting scenes/FX, it was always the story of the girl in the painting that disturbed me the most, even as a little kid. I know why it disturbs me as an adult, thinking what a tragic and lonely fate that would be for the girl, and how heartbreaking that would be for her family, having to look everyday at what became of her but powerless to save her, but I'm not entirely sure why it scared me back then, other than imagining something like that could actually happen.

That does, but one that really creeped me out the most was the Tales of the Unexpected. More aimed at adults but my dad had the dvds and had them on. One where an old lady who owns a bed and breakfast drugs people and stuffs them really freaked me out. I think there was also one where a wide murdered her husband and the weapon was a frozen leg of lamb and fed it to the detectives after cooking it so she got away with it. These were aimed more at adults but there's often little distinction between the adult and child stories he wrote.

Personally when I was a kid and even as an adult the thought of being trapped in a painting was more disturbing than all the special effects used to make the witches so monstrous. And while they could've animated the child trapped in the painting I think it worked better that each day she'd be in a different position without moving. These witches were sadistic so it makes more sense that they would torment the parents this way. If you got a picture with someone moving around in it then you got proof of the paranormal. Instead you have a distraught parent claiming that the kid in the picture is theirs and everyone thinks they're crazy bringing in a slightly altered picture each day as proof.

The protagonist knows he won't have a normal human lifespan, and he's okay with it. He then decides to dedicate his life to saving children from the same fate. That's a very mature and bittersweet message to end a children's story with, and the movie's ending just does a complete 180. Instead of ending with a valuable down to earth life lesson, the movie tells us that you shouldn't worry, since every story has a happy ending.

Very weird fact that you probably don't wanna know: Ernst means severity in Dutch. So it's quite the fitting name in the Dutch translation

Fun fact: A majority of the on-location footage for this film was undertaken at the Atlantic Hotel in Newquay, Cornwall (famous for appearing in the opening of the Beatles' TV Special "Magical Mystery Tour"), it is also where Roald Dhal picketed outside in protest over the "political correction" and "Americanisation" of his works, Willy Wonka he could take as Gene Wilder was a last resort casting after Spike Milligan and Jon Pertwee, but the Witches... he hated it with a passion and spent his days protesting outside the Atlantic and bravely getting in rows with the producers, so in hindsight Hollywood almost had it's arses kicked in by a Welshman, pretty cool huh?
