I hypothesis that the Sanderson sisters were executed for murder rather than witchcraft. Because you watch the film, the towns people would have discovered the remains of Emily in their home and Zachary missing presumed murdered. So, its logical that they were hung for Emily's murder. Murder in 1693 just like many places today is a capital offence. Back in 1693 courts went a lot faster. Also, if they were caught for witchcraft rather than murder it'll be a lot more gory and a lot longer to their execution. As it was the main goal in the witch hunts to find other witches. So, if they were caught for witchcraft they would have been stripped, searched, imprisoned, tortured and if convicted hung, burnt or crushed to death. The Sanderson sisters wouldn't look that good at their execution if that was the case. Also, you say it was shocking that a 16 year old was engaged to be married. In the 1600's and earlier 16 for girls was actually quite late to get married. It was common for girls to marry as young as 11 years of age. The age back then for girls to marry was 11 to 14. If they were royal they could be even younger as they could get married as young as 3 years old. So, considering the time period more wondering reverend was looking to marry off of Winny. No doubt that he was doing the same with Mary and Sarah. Different time, different cultures.

I did not see the Original Hocus Pocus film until 2018 so I was able to appreciate the adult jokes when watching it.
I feel like it was not fair that Max Dani and Alison were not seen in Hocus Pocus 2. They should have been at least mentioned. It would have been nice to find out what happened to them at the end of the 1st movie. Still enjoyed the sequel though.

Married at 16? Not so young back in those days.
EDIT: I wasn't a kid (agewise, at least) when Hocus Pocus was released. Both We desire children and the virgin running gag were. Let's just say that plenty slipped in under the radar that I noticed.
Talking Binz: didn't he tell the teens that he learned to talk during the intervening 300 years?

reply

When I was little I thought they talked about the zodiac sign, 'cause my zodiac sign is Virgin, and I thought: Wow, I could have woken up the sisters, too. I had no questions, I never asked my parents What is a virgin? 'cause I thought about the zodiac sign. So they never were imbarassed to explined that, ahahah!
reply

I actually got one: When Winifred starts singing I Put A Spell On You, she says the line, Hello Salem! My name's Winifred! What's yours! The same year Hocus Pocus was released, Bette Midler stared in a TV movie of the musical Gypsy where that line, Hello everybody! My name's June! What's yours, originated.
reply

I missed this movie, because the three seemed to have so chemistry with each other. They seem over the top and awkward, trying way too hard for laughs and sarcasm. It's all just really odd, since separately, the actors are very talented. In this film, they're so horribly bad. Acting and their parts.
reply

The characters of Hocus Pocus know what a Virgin is. but they cant define or say what it means due to censorship & its a Disney family movie of course. Why not? Its Disney. Lol Even though they say it means a person who never lit a candle, they never explain what it truly means for real.
reply

well not for me as being into history, 16 years old was the equivalent to 18 years old which considers you are of adult age, so back in that time it was just consiter the norm, but for anyone who didn't know that part of history that's where you get the surpise factor.
reply

Since when do they not eat children? Lines like Mary referring to Dani as shish kebaby in the original as well as them wanting her to stay for dinner made me always assume they literally ate children outside of feeding on their souls via the life potion.
reply

Being married at 16 is only appalling to those who are not with the one they truly are meant to be with. My true love appeared to me when I was 16. We began our family when I was 17, it's been 30 years this past June. It can work if you want it too.
reply

Was Hocus Pocus the first movie to show a hanging in a kids film?
Also a simpler time when asking a kid why he's still a virgin was somewhat ok but now seen as Sus! Also another person who was Sus was the bus driver in the first movie!

reply

One of the best parts of the sequel was Gilbert awkwardly struggling to explain what a virgin was to a young boy. I always wondered why they made a big deal over Max's lack of experience, when he's only 15 or 16.
reply

The first movie was surprisingly dark, with a little girl being killed onscreen within the first few minutes, a cat being run over by a bus, tons of boobs jokes, and gags about Max's lack of experience.
reply

What the heck all I see is stuck on one picture this is going to be fixed at some point all am seeing on my iPhone were processing this video. Check back later what the Hecks going on?
reply

well in the deleted scene to the first one Mary was eating things she thought were made out of babies ha ha and yep it was possibly that Binx couldnt talk until the candle was lit
reply

Something tells me Binx(as a cat) was able to speak like a human again due to Max resurrecting the Sanderson sisters via the Black Flame candle. It's the only other explanation.
reply

well it seems like im not the only one having trouble viewing this video and its the only video that i can't view either. its not working on my phone or computer.
reply

When the witches died in 1993, Billy Butcherson did not die meaning he remained awake in his grave for the last 29 years. In the end of Hocus Pocus 2 he does die
reply

Im not an adult, but even some of those things I realized overall its just such a great franchise that is just so awesome with such talented actors. Great video!
reply

Seriously, I knew what virgin meant from my fundamental baptist background from the time I have memories. I never understood why that was such a shocker.
reply

This list will most likely have the We desire children joke from the 1st movie.
Edit: HOLY SMOKES! I wrote this comment before 05: 07!

reply

His parents had just hanged witches, so binx knew that if he would talk his parents would probably see it as witchcraft and hang him to.
reply

Is anyone else having trouble viewing this video? I tried on my computer and now my phone and it's only playing audio on my phone?
reply

About Binx, most likely he could talk the whole time, he was just in shock. If he spoke in his time they would consider him a demon.
reply

I was so looking forward and hoping to love this movie. I did not, and think they guaged it to the wrong audience.
reply

I am having major playback issues. I can hear the audio but it's just constantly the thumbnail. And it only plays on my phone.
reply

quite odd. Im using Chrome and its telling me this browser cannot play your video. All other videos play just fine.
reply

Has this been taken down?
It's the only video I can't play and has the message your browser can't play this video.

reply

People commenting on Maxs Virginity sounds hilarious as a child but get weird pretty quickly as an adult.
reply

I can't watch it. Your browser can't play this video. Learn more. Both Chrome and Edge do this.
