What to say about Earwig and the Witch. I enjoyed it a lot, people can say their naysays all the wish. To me this film was a good, it told a nice story about how you have to learn to acclimate to a new situation. And also how changing something in your mundane life isn't always the worst thing in the world. I really enjoyed the animation, the characters were good, the humor was aligned with my own. the music was nice. Everything about it was really enjoyable.
I do not know the source material, but I am looking forward to reading what I am sure will be another hit from Diana Wynn Jones.
