Hocus pocus is one of the most beloved Disney objects of the 1990s. Although its initial theatrical release in 1993 was not a success, the film received frequent television airplay after its release and became a staple of the Halloween season for many viewers. The film tells about the antics of the evil and sorceress Sanderson sisters, who were played by Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica ParkerAnd Cathy Najimy. Three witches are executed in Salem in 1693, but a spell is cast to ensure their eventual return. In 1993, a group of hapless children accidentally bring the sisters back to life, and they have to fight all Halloween night to bring the sisters back to their graves.
