One day, while spending the summer with her great aunt, Mary follows an odd cat into the nearby woods. There she stumbles upon flowers which hold a strange, luminescent power that brings her ordinary broomstick to life - which then, in a heartbeat, whisks her above the clouds and off to a strange and secret place... It is here she finds Endor College – a school of magic!
Even though the penalties for imposter students are harsh, Mary enrolls in Endor College, and despite a complete lack of magical knowledge, demonstrates promising abilities. However, she quickly discovers that all is not as it seems at the school – there have been strange experiments taking place behind closed doors, and all too soon, she comes face to face with great danger – and a life-changing choice.
From Academy Award-nominated director, Hiromasa "Maro" Yonebayashi (Arrietty, When Marnie Was There), and featuring the voices of Kate Winslet (Titanic), Jim Broadbent (Paddington) and Ruby Barnhill (The BFG), Mary and the Witch's Flower is a stunningly animated fantasy adventure, filled with magic, fun and emotion.
