Movie

Mary is an ordinary young girl stuck in the country with her Great-Aunt Charlotte and seemingly no adventures or friends in sight. She follows a mysterious cat into the nearby forest, where she discovers an old broomstick and the strange Fly-by-Night flower, a rare plant that blossoms only once every seven years and only in that forest. Together the flower and the broomstick whisk Mary above the clouds, and far away to Endor College - a school of magic run by headmistress Madam Mumblechook and the brilliant Doctor Dee. But there are terrible things happening at the school, and when Mary tells a lie, she must risk her life to try to set things right.

“Mary and the Witch’s Flower,” the first film from Studio Ponoc, an animation outfit founded by Studio Ghibli veterans Hiromasa Yonebayashi and Yoshiaki Nishimura after Ghibli closed its doors in 2015, starts in medias res, with a violent firestorm engulfing the screen.

The foundation here is reasonably sound, but the film plays out as a weak echo of Castle in the Sky, Spirited Away, and Harry Potter.

The spell Mr. Yonebayashi casts is effective, but also ephemeral. It’s minor magic.

Mary and the Witch's Flower, the new fantasy from Hiromasa Yonebayashi, is beautifully animated but not very magical.

The film mines its tale of magic for an imaginative allegory about the excesses of scientific inquiry.
