Plot Synopsis via Altitude
Young Mary follows a mysterious cat into the nearby forest and discovers an old broomstick and the strange Fly-by-Night flower, a rare plant that blossoms once every seven years. Together, the flower and the broomstick whisk Mary above the clouds, and far away to Endor College — a school of magic run by headmistress Madam Mumblechook and the brilliant Doctor Dee. But there are terrible things happening at the school, and when Mary tells a lie, she must risk her life to try and set things right.
The UK theatrical release of Mary and the Witch’s Flower is on 10th April in Japanese with English subtitles and 4th May in English. You can book your tickets on the official website!
