QWhat is Formula 86 and what does it do?
AFormula 86 is a potion created by the Grand High Witch, that when ingested, causes one to transform into a mouse. It was designed to be used only against children, but anyone, including adults and witches, who consume it will transform as well. Each bottle contains 500 doses and one dose will take exactly two hours to begin the transformation process. Once the transformation process begins, it will take precisely 25 seconds to complete. The afflicted individual will first loudly burp, then begin to expel green smoke out of their mouth, shake, grow fur, a tail, shrink, and ultimately change into a mouse of varying colors/patterns. If one were to consume more than five doses at once, the transformation process begins instantly.
QWhat are the differences between the old British PG Version and the Uncensored Version?
AThis movie was slightly cut in the UK to get the PG-rating. It's at least questionable whether these 2.5 seconds actually would have been the reason for not getting the PG-rating. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.
QWhat do we learn about witches from watching this movie?
AThey have a purple tinge to their eyes; no toes which they hide under plain sensible shoes; they're bald and due to irritation from wigs, will have an itchy scalp rash; they have claw-like finger nails and many have what looks like inflamed, blistery skin on their hands; and they also have a very good sense of smell that helps them locate children that they prey upon (which to them smell strongly of fresh dog's droppings). They also never get caught committing their crimes as they dont use knives or guns like ordinary people, but instead use spells and/or special powers. Examples include the children imprisoned in the two paintings; the snake charmed by the witch below Luke's tree house, and its subsequent disappearing and reappearing into her purse; the Grand High Witch's killing of the other witch at their annual meeting; the Grand High Witch's assistant transforming Luke from a mouse back into a boy again, and her the ability to make William and Mary the mice float up and pop into their cage again, as well as Luke's glasses pop back onto his head out of thin air. We also know that every country has their own head witch, all ruled over by one Grand High Witch.
