Kenny Ortega’s HOCUS POCUS
(PG-13, 1993, 96 min)
A Retro annual tradition! Bring your family and join Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy in this wacky comedy. When modern-day pranksters accidentally summon three 17th century Salem witches, the 300-year-old trio sets out to cast a spell on the town and reclaim their youth, but first they must outwit three kids and a talking cat.

Followed by:
Danny DeVito’s MATILDA
(PG, 1996, 93 min)
First ever screening at Retro!
This film adaptation of a Roald Dahl work tells the story of Matilda Wormwood (Mara Wilson), a gifted girl forced to put up with a crude, distant father (Danny DeVito) and mother (Rhea Perlman). Worse, Agatha Trunchbull (Pam Ferris), the evil principal at Matilda's school, is a terrifyingly strict bully. However, when Matilda realizes she has the power of telekinesis, she begins to defend her friends from Trunchbull's wrath and fights back against her unkind parents.
