ROLL ’EM
ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT: ROLL ’EM! Japanese Fantasy has Girl Versus Demon
by Hunter Barnard
For this month’s review, I watched a cool new movie called “Earwig and the Witch.”
It has lots of cool characters in it, and I liked it very much.
The story is about a little girl named Earwig who gets left at an orphanage because her mom is a witch being chased by other witches. Some nice people at the orphanage take care of her with lots of other kids.
She does not want to leave because it is where her friends are, but a very tall man and a lady with blue hair come to adopt her, even though she does not want to go.
When Earwig arrives in her new home, she finds out the lady who adopted her is a witch, and the man she lives with is a demon.
The only two rules are to never make the demon mad and to always do what the witch says. But the witch is very mean and does not teach Earwig anything helpful to become a witch but instead has her do chores.
Earwig is a really cool character because she always had good ideas and was always helpful.
My favorite character was the witch though, because she made really cool spells and was good at lots of different things. Even if she was a little mean at first, she was really nice at the end.
I really liked this movie because it had a very nice ending. I like it when everyone gets along.
Earwig found a nice place to live, and the witch started to be a little nicer. Even the demon was pretty nice, too, even though he was mad a lot.
There was a lot of cool music in the movie, and there was one song I liked very much.
It turned out that the witch knew how to play the drums, and that was one of the reasons I liked her so much. She was very good at it and made it look very easy.
The demon’s name was Mandrake, and he knew how to play the piano. They made really good music together, and Earwig liked it a lot, too.
I think this movie was very fun and very good, it had lots of cool things in it and it made me laugh a lot. I think everyone should watch it if they want to see a really good movie!
