I really liked how Dani and Max's sibling relationship was portrayed, with him not hesitating to save her from the witches, and her hitting the sisters with her candy bag to get them to leave Max alone. They felt just like natural siblings.

I love how in the original film the Sanderson sisters were villains. True villains. The stakes were high, children died. When the sisters failed and were destroyed, it was deserved. Too often these days the “villains” are too sympathetic, it erases any real feeling of conflict and the morals of the story are gone. The parallel storylines between Max and Binx (about loving and putting your life on the line for their family) are an underrated part of this movie and what makes it a true classic to me.

The first one will always be a timeless classic, and the sequel is fun to watch but it's not perfect it's average. and i will give props to the actors especially to the one's who portrayed the young Sanderson sisters they really nailed the roles in my opinion! And i liked the ending to HP2, it was both happy and sad at the same time.

The actresses that played the young Sanderson sisters nailed it, especially for Winnfred. She did awesome

The second Hocus Pocus had some funny scenes. And it was so cute to see the Sanderson Sisters as children. The young actress playing a child Winifred did so good 👍👍👍 However, as a 90's kid, the original has my heart forever ❤️ It's disappointing the original cast of kids was not part of the sequel. I would've liked to see Ice and Jay come back 😂 And of course, Max, Dani and Allison 💕

The original Is way better than the new one 😍😍😍😍😍

Thora was apparently set to return for the sequel as the girls' teacher, but clashing schedules prevented her from rejoining the cast. It would have been interesting to see her back to her roots.

I loved seeing the Sanderson Sisters as children!!

You got Round 4 wrong. The original Hocus Pocus definitely had more heart! 💕

I loved “One Way or Another”. It was so perfect.

From “I Put A Spell On You” to “One Way or Another”, I love the songs

When she said “we’re the originals”, I love that part!

The first one was suspenseful and the second one was hilarious. We love them both.

I know villain deaths are satisfying but seeing them go bought tears to my eyes

Both are incredibly good Halloween movies and I love both of them! :)

part of the reason the sandersons were defeated in the first film was because they didn't understand the love between Dani and Max. I mean, even when Sarah and Mary get turned to dust by the sun, Winifred doesn't hesitate to continue to suck the soul out of Max. She doesn't show any hurt or sadness about her sisters turning to dust, just urgency to finish what she started.

The fact that they had to defeat the Sanderson sisters without magic in the first one makes the story more challenging. I loved and miss that. The first one all the way!

I LOVE hocus pocus!! I've just bought a black flamed candle, a candle with hocus pocus written on it, and a pumpkin with the sisters on it

I love Hocus Pocus. I enjoyed the sequel too, but I was hoping they would’ve brought back either max or Dani. They could have had Dani who moved back to Salem with her daughter who happens to be one of the girls in HP2.

I absolutely LOVE Hocus Pocus the original, but I think Hocus Pocus 2 is pretty great too 😊❤

I didn't need a list to tell why the original was better but this was a fun watch

"Come Little Children" will always feel creepy to me, since I first heard it as a 12 year old. I was a kid. The original will always win for me - I feel like it had a more rounded story with depth, sacrifice, suspense, disturbing aspects, and a happy ending, plus I could relate to the kids. But, I do have to give it to the kids who played the young Sanderson Sisters. They nailed those roles perfectly. And I straight up cackled at Mary's roombas. :D As for how they know the lyrics to modern songs, I'm thinking Hell's recording studio can also tap into radio waves. :)

Something I don't understand. Why Tackery's sould was freed in the first Hocus Pocus, but Billy's only in the 2nd one?

Wasn't so fond of One Way Or Another. Winnifred's lightning was also thicker if u compare the cgi. It was also cool to c Sarah and Mary's very own red and purple lightning. There was a changed in 2, for in the first it was said that the book was given to Winnifred by the Devil, but the second reveled it was another witch, dubbed the Mother Witch.

The word "virgin" was mentioned 9 times in the 1993 movie

I feel like the original Hocus Pocus is the Superior film and though Hocus Pocus 2 started off strong I don't particularly like some of the new characters especially the mayor who is very annoying. I didn't really care about the teenagers in this sequel. I felt that the movie trying to make it clear that the one teenager was a witch was a little annoying and it just sort of felt like a Mary Sue character when they got into trouble. I also didn't like how when the Sanderson sisters came back they broke into song. it felt ridiculous. even though I'm a huge musical theater fan I feel like the first Hocus Pocus they didn't just break into song even "Come Little Children" was a siren song which makes sense in the context of the movie and "I Put a Spell on You" was a spell of disguised as a song which they did a similar thing with "one way or another" in the sequel but it also felt out of place. there were a hundred things I didn't like about the sequel and even though it's not an awful sequel It's not one that I probably will watch again unless its with my friends. I also hated what they did with the ending where they try to make Winifred have a change of heart which felt like a totally different character. One thing that I liked about the original movie was that the Sanderson sisters were unapologetically evil and yet you still like them because they were super funny and over the top but in the sequel they try to make them more sympathetic which ruined it for me.

I have to say I love both. I’m lighting the candle 🕯 🕯🕯

Bette Midler is a really good entertainer on stage. Her concerts were really good 👍

I personally like the first one better. It was just iconic! The second one was a fun romp and it was fun seeing the sisters in the 21st century. Also can I just say Bette Middler does not age!? What kind of magic is that!

I agree with this, while not surpassing the original I got a lot of good vibes out of Hocus Pocus 2. It's the best sort of sequel that can stand on its own. Well worth the 29 year wait.

I feel like the costumes in Hocus Pocus 2 look a lot cheaper than they do in the original.

Just watched both movies & I think I have to say that I like the first one better.

Another Disney Vs. Episode: Zombies Vs. Descendants

I prefer the original Hocus Pocus 💖🧙‍♀️

I love "I put a spell on you" but the flash mob and production value of "one way or another" is better in my opinion.

Top 10 Cartoon Network Halloween Specials!

The first one definitely had a better story .

The first Hocus Pocus will always be my favorite. :)

This movie scarred me as a kid... Now it's my all time favorite movie. The second wasn't bad, but nothing lights a torch to the first.

The first hands down.

This first one is my fav i just didnt feel as connected to the mains in the second on as i did the first mains

Hocus Pocus 2 Pros: -We see the Sanderson Sisters origin story -Call backs to the first movie Cons: -Call backs to the first movie: They rely heavily on the callbacks, to the point where the movie doesn't really have its own identity -Weak character development -Secondary characters that the movie could have done without -The Sanderson Sisters don't pose a threat, nor do anything that makes them seem like they're dangerous -Winifred, Mary, and Sarah didn't seem to learn anything from the previous movie. One of Winifred's first words is that they won't get tricked again, but they get tricked instantly. -The reason how and why the witches were brought back -Inaccuracies with the lore and information given from the first film -How Winifred, Mary, and Sarah got the spell book -The spell Book having a mind of its own -The ending The first movie is better and I rather stick to that.

You don’t need to watch this 13 minute long video to know that the first one is infinitely better.

Can we please get a list on a different world. One of the most impactful shows and one of the most successful black sitcoms. A lot of people started going to hbcus because of it. The show touches on many important things. The show is considered ahead of it's time because shows at the time weren't addressing the issues a different world did.

The more I watch Hocus Pocus 2, the more I like it.

The second one was ok... BUT THE OG WILL ALWAYS BE BETTER!!💕

I like them Both

The original was my favorite lol but the 2nd was funny and added a lot of back story to the original which was nice 😊

Hocus Pocus all the way! The sequel can't compare.

Honestly both of them are great!

One way or another, WatchMojo, it’s awesome either way

My favorite character from this movie (and its sequel) it's Sarah (specially her song "come little children") anywho it was a Nice "Vs" video to sit through , happy friday Ms Mojo and i hope to see You soon for more like this , take care and God bless You.

The original one is still top notch but the second one does have its charms.

I have watched and loved the original since it came out. Was disappointed in the sequel till almost halfway thru but then I started really getting into it. I've watched it a 2nd time and wanted to watch it again a week later! You have to remember.... the 1st was poorly received in the beginning.... then became a classic. I believe the 2nd is going to follow it! It is really good on its own merits if your not trying to look for the actors and storyline from the 1st! I'm officially hooked! Both are my October watching! And can't miss either!

I like the 1st one more

I actually love both ❤

I liked them both !

Very very great fun list I like it a lot very great job mis mojo one of my absolute favorite list ever 💗

both I like both I a cant wait to see the new one

Hocus Pocus has my vote.

What I really didn't like about the new one is that they didn't sing I put a spell on you

Heart should’ve gone to the first Hocus Pocus

I think the original Hocus Pocus is better then the squel but both were good

This had no business being close. First one is way better in every way here.

I heart Hocus Pocus and the fun sequel

Overall, prefer the good old original tbh.

Beetlejuice VS The Ghost and Molly McGee!

Oh, please. The original beats the sequel handily. The only part that I thought might qualify as an improvement was giving Billy a speaking role.

I love both movies

One way or another, the second does not put a spell on you like the first. The first had the classic 'good vs evil' theme, and the children ended up being the downfall of the Sanderson Sisters. The second doesn't hold a black candle to the first. The sequel was better suited to streaming , or future airings on Disney's cable channels (Which feature the OG yearly around Halloween). For those not subscribing to Disney+, wait a year for it on cable. You won't miss out on much by waiting.

I love both movies. Actually, I just saw the new movie tonight?

I like both of them

I loved the beginning of Hocus Pocus 2 because those girls acted that really well. I love both movies

I love both movies and I have them both on my halloween TV list along with Halloween town and moms got a date with a vampire to twitches/twitches 2

Both movies are awesome

Hocus-pocus, of course nothing better than the original

Growing up in the original hocus pocus I’ve got to say that it’s the best out of the two it’s obvious why

I love the new one much more

Hocus Pocus ONE forevermore

I wonder if the cat is the first talking animal in cinema history

I prefer hocus pocus 2... Simply because there's less influence from the Satanic Panic, that gives the production the ability to portray the Sanderson sisters in a complex light.

I loved both films the sequel would have been better if all the original cast came back

They should have put and endings category in here. Because i honestly think thats HP 1 had a better ending. I was kinda dissapointed that winnifred sacrificed herself for "Sisters" 😂

houcs poucs is so amazing

The OG.

Both films were great in my ‘Boooooook’

Hocus pocus and Hocus pocus 2 sarah she my favourite

The original was the best. I watch it every year for Halloween.. The second was cute but had a lot of repeats from the original and didn’t have “that feel” the first had..

Hocus pocus 2 is the best

我很喜歡這部電影。。，第一集，我有看

Il primo aveva dialoghi memorabili,ogni frase era esemplare,anche il finale faceva piangere,non c'era troppo computer nelle scene,la trama era piu compatta e non era sbavata. Il n2 sembra una copia di streghe ( il telefilm delle sorelle hallywell) dove tutte fanno magia bianca, una noia mortale 😮

The original is still the best. The new kids were "asleep" the whole movie - They felt very slow and low energy. Bette, Kathy and SJP just fell right back into their original roles so wonderfully, that it just made the new kids look even slower. And the ending of the new movie was just bad. I hated the "misunderstood villain" thing they tried to do, like they did to Angelina Jolie's Maleficent. Just let them be evil witches, like was pre-established in the original. That's how we like them. That's how we fell in love with them. "friendship was the real magic all along" is so lame.

How do the witches know the songs: I just figured someone in hell is singing it to them. Or the devil gives them some magic way of keeping up with the times musically. Or just magic! Hahaha With this movie, that's the least of my concerns. There are definitely other potholes.

Not even a contest, the first one is way better. The second had some fun moments, but I think it was missing the Binx character.

Nothing beats an original. As Sidney Prescott said: "Don't fuck with the original".

The 2nd movie they barley act like Witches rather then crazy people in costumes. The songs kept getting cut and they acts more funnier then creepy cartoon characters. The 2 girls were boring and the ending reminded me of Harry Potter

These comparison videos would carry more weight if they had consistent categories. Instead, they create categories for each so they can always act like one category separates the two movies.

I like Hocus pocus 2 my favourite scene is when Bette Midler performs one way or another

I prefer the original, the second one seems short
