Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Anne Hathaway, Octavia Spencer, and Stanley Tucci star in director Robert Zemeckis’ adaptation of Roald Dahl’s 1983 novel of the same name. In 1960s Alabama, an orphaned African-American boy encounters a conference of malevolent witches while living in a hotel with his grandmother (Spencer). A courageous and comedic confrontation ensues after the Grand High Witch (Hathaway) transforms him into a sentient mouse. ~ Augustine Chay, Rovi

The tale of a young orphaned boy who, in late 1967, goes to live with his loving Grandma in the rural Alabama town of Demopolis. As the boy and his grandmother encounter some deceptively glamorous but thoroughly diabolical witches, she wisely whisks him away to a seaside resort. Regrettably, they arrive at precisely the same time that the world's Grand High Witch has gathered her fellow cronies from around the globe, undercover, to carry out her nefarious plans.
