Mary and the Witch’s Flower

From Studio Ponoc, the new Japanese animation studio created by veterans of Studio Ghibli,Mary and the Witch’s Flower is a fantasy adventure about a daring red-headed girl, a flying broom, and a mysterious, forbidden flower. Created by Hiromasa Yonebayashi (The Secret World of Arrietty) and based on the children’s novel The Little Broomstick, it’s about a bored girl who, with the help of some neighborhood cats, gains spectacular magical powers. Though the powers last for one night only, they unlock a trip to Endor College—a school of magic!—and enough action-packed adventures to last a lifetime.
