Fun Stuff

Goofs:
Plot holes: Bella and Donna go through the mirror, then somehow manage to reappear on our side to throw tea on Tuttle's wife. However, Tansy later states that one berry is good for one trip, which means that Mary-Margaret should have seven used berries (not three) as berries in the Mirror World are hard to obtain (and Bella and Donna would be making three trips). more

I have not only watched Magic in the Mirror, I've bought a copy of it and it's sequel, Magic in the Mirror: Fowl Play. If you liked Howard the Duck, I think you'll like these two films.

True it's a kids film but there are some adult themes like trust, friendship, and faith that make it worth your while to give it a go. The story is about young Mary Margaret, a creative child whose parents are too involved in their careers, who soon discovers the magical abilities of her late grandmother's botany book and mirror. Because she's neglected at home she willingly enters this new world of a plant kingdom that's menaced by a drake (duck) species that likes to make tea out of everyone else, people tea being especially good.

It's a fun movie with a good cast.
