Mary and the Witch’s Flower‘s plot synopsis: based on the book by Mary Stewart, “It is Tib the black cat who leads Mary to the strange flower in the woods. When she discovers a little broomstick shortly afterwards, she is astonished to feel it jump in to action. Before she can gather her wits, it is whisking her over the treetops, above the clouds, and in to the grounds of Endor College, where: ‘All Examinations Coached for by A Competent Staff of Fully-Qualified Witches.’

Here she discovers evidence of a terrible experiment in transformation – deformed and mutant animals imprisoned in cages. In the moment after her broomstick takes off, she realises that Tib has been captured. Returning to the College the following day, she manages to free the animals, but not before the Head of the college, Miss Mumblechook, and her colleague, Doctor Dee, have seen her. Mary manages to flee …but the evil pair are in hot pursuit!”

Mary And The Witch’s Flower looks absolutely beautiful. Yonebayash, Yoshiaki Nishimura, and six other animators from Studio Ghibli formed Studio Ponoc in April 15, 2015. “The name of the studio comes from the Serbo-Croatian word pono?, for “midnight”, meant to signify “the beginning of a new day.” I have heard many writers say that Studio Ponoc’s first film looks like a Studio Ghibli film. They are absolutely correct. It has been a long time since I saw a film that looked and reminded me of Spirited AwayMary And The Witch’s Flower has done so.

Mary And The Witch’s Flower is an example of the quality of film that Studio Ponoc can produce. Studio Ponoc knew that they had a lot riding on their first film and they knocked it out of the park. Hopefully, the narrative of the film is as good as its animation.
