Top 10 Hocus Pocus 2 Callbacks to the Original 

That little moment where Sarah flys alone in the sky, like her song in the first and how much Sjp says she loved flying

Someone in the movie was watching the first Hocus Pocus, now THAT was really cool

I would just like to point out you missed a costume callback. In the crowd of dancers, someone dressed as Madonna like Max's mom from the first film. It's only shown for a couple of seconds--- a blink and you'll miss it, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

“Amok Amok Amok Amok Amok Amok Amok Amok..-“ “STOP THAT!! DON’T Make Me Come OVER Ther With This Broom!”

The Madonna costume throwback and the house looking like Allison's. But the drag queen love is a great NEW addition! They really know their audience because they're a famous drag act to recreate.

They really did do a great job

Did great

Oh yes!! I agree. I thought all three of the younger witches were so good at playing their respective adults!

They did an amazing job casting young Winifred

I think Taylor Henderson did a fabulous job as a young Winnie. She nailed down all the little quirks of Bette's character. I wish she would have gotten a little more screen time because she played the role so well. They did a great job at casting her.

I said the exact same thing! Just brilliant

Oh, she was awesome. I loved her as young Winifred.

Wow well spotted ⭐️

And they still look the same

Yep, with a vampire for the dad

And someone was dressed like the band members from the OG as well

I noticed that.

Don’t forget the ladybug costume the school admin was wearing. There was a ladybug in the first movie I like to think that girl grew up and started working at the school and is still obsessed with lady bugs

Still haven’t spotted an Angel, but I’m sure there’s one in there somewhere

I cried at at scene!!!!

@@sabrinamorris5615 that also made cry and in the original I was always thinking what the book really thinks of Winnie. And this one with the more personality confirms it. And their relashionship. And it went full circle. Amazing that Bette can still sing really well for being 76.

“My powers are nothing without my sisters.”

So if book didn't want to be evil, why did he show them the spell to turn Thackery into a cat?

@@angeliquetorres9978 The Book was definitely evil in the first movie. But Gilbert softened the book up over the last 29yrs. Gilbert’s goodness rubbed off on the book when they were making the new black candle.

I did notice that although I didn't really register

A witch didn’t give her the book. Allison said it was a gift from the devil himself.

@@andreamaria85 yes that's what Allison said that's how the legend went, but legend doesn't always reflect reality. This movie showed that it was a witch that gave her the book, she's even credited as such in the credits

@@andreamaria85 well in "AoT" Marley propos state the Devil gave Ymir the "Titan" ability, but readers and viewers know otherwise right?

Yea, plus they mentioned "Mother" in the first movie, just watched it again tonight and I had forgotten that they did. So it does make sense then.

Yes! Poor Sarah gets no respect from her older sisters!

Oh my gosh I completely forgot about that

Being the Youngest Sisters with also Two Older Sisters... Unfortunately it truly is a thing, where we are the Guinea Pigs lol.... My eldest Sister (Winifred's Position) used me to learn how to apply Make-Up and doing Hair into different styles, so she could get her Make-up and Hair perfect..... While the Middle Sister (Mary's Position) used me as your punch bag at times lol, obviously in play fights but still, she forgot how much stronger than me she was lol..... Think that's why I relate to Sarah so much in the two films, and yes I do also have those same types of Dizzy moments she has also lmfao

Condolences for your loss.

Sucked sucked sucked bad

did you call a video about callbacks to the first movie "too nostalgic"

Seems to be an unpopular opinion but I liked it too. I felt like it’s completely different film. It’s not truly a sequel in your traditional sense. It’s like an add-on or really more like a love letter. It makes sense to me for the changes they made. It’s very difficult for a movie to be classic in the timeless sense, to not have “dated” references etc. If you don’t like this film, it’s simple, don’t watch it. I felt like it had a younger more fun vibe. It’s not scary, it’s light hearted and funny. It gives DCOM vibes, more like Halloweentown. Overall, I liked it. We laughed and had a fun time. Loved the references and fun put it in to this.

@@aval5098 Yes! People are being way to harsh on this movie I think it's a good add on its not meant to be a marvel endgame type of film. People should try and enjoy it as it is.

This comment is literally in every HP2 video, no matter what the context

Agreed!!! I would almost like a spinoff of just that or a multiverse thing

Never know, there might be a third movie that connects this movie to the book.

There’s BOOKS why did I not know this

@@doyouhearthepeoplesing2 just one book....I think. The first part is rehash of the movie with some additions but 95% movie rehash.

Same!

Same! I loved the young Billy at the beginning, trying even then to not involve himself with Winnie 😂 it was one kiss!!!

@ Brain-rape ice cream cones Exactly. I thought producers dropped the ball on their musical and dance choices. Really sucked.

Yes he literally states that in the film

I think that you got a point there.

I thought it was meh.... 3 out of 10. The nostalgic call backs were great but it was just lackluster to me.

I agree, it left me with an empty feeling.

@@darkssj3goku finally!! My friends who have seen it are raving about it! Idk if their love for the first blinded them with all of the nostalgia, seriously, it was not all that good.

I agree, it could have been better. I thought it turned out better than I expected and better than the book sequel that I couldn't finish.

WAIT WHAT?! SHE WAS GEORGETTE??? MIND. BLOWN!

Olivia Lee, me too, love watching my favorite star of all time, she's great

Oliver & Company was practically a who's who of singers.

omg literally same!!

As a kid, I wasn't allowed to watch it But, I first saw hocus pocus about 4 years ago And loved it!

I feel the same way. I enjoyed it immensely. The ending was so satisfying

Dont forget Mary that surfboarding a pair of Roombas🤣🤣

And then you realize the book taught him how to make the black flame candle which was made from the "fat of a hanged man" and there's at least 2 confirmed candles so who did Gilbert hang to make the candles?

Woah. Mind. Blown. Jay and Ernie are the black flame candles! But seriously, I assumed Max and Allison rescued them later in the morning. ...but then they weren't in the sequel....

@@okhti_dov3424 …I forgot about that. In the modern world it would be pretty much impossible to get such an ingredient unless you procured it yourself. “Maybe” book had an alternative recipe… Damn, Disney hid a dark subplot. 😟

I don't think he would rescue them, they were probably the ones that stole his candy. I bet he got the book and left them there and when he got older got his revenge by turning them into the 2 black candles.

Damn than he killed Ernie cuz Ernie was kinda on the chubby side “Fat of a Hang man !”

And Dadcula was right next to her

I noticed that too LOL

@@jujub4553 awsome

Actually when you think of it,it is implied that 'mother witch' is far more of an actual villian then the Sanderson sisters ever were.She outright hinted that she had eaten children before in 1653,and she might have been alive for centuries by doing such. As far as we know the only true evil that the Sanderson sisters did is kill Emily Binx to restore their youth,and turn Thackery into a cat. After that they were killed and remained dead for 300 yrs until 1993.They lived one night (halloween) and never managed to drain any children before they died again. Same in 2022,they never killed anyone before dying the last time. But apparently mother witch has actually lived through the past 350 plus years of time. Imagine how many children she has to have killed in that time to stay alive for that long. I think it would be great if for the third movie the new coven brought back the Sanderson sisters,but this time to aide in fighting mother witch.Gilbert can obviously help them with this task. Also in the last movie they need to finally bring back an adult Dani,Max,and Allison.Max and Allison are likely married and have kids now.Their child being in danger of being consumed by mother witch could be a legit reason to have them join the fight. And it might sound wierd but I could see them having Gilbert be Dani's love interest,seeing as they are around the same age and have a history with the Sanderson sisters.

We need to make this comment viral!

If Mother Witch is an option for the villain for 3, I think that it should focus around her trying to rebuild her coven. It's my belief that when she warned the Sisters about the Maxima spell and to not cast it, it came from a place of personal experience. I think that she, too, did not understand the warning of using the spell and lost her own coven to the casting (much like what happened to Winnie). Maybe the plot could be that she wants to remake her coven and goes about trying to recruit Becca and some new witchy character they choose to introduce. If the Sister's are to return, maybe they'll return as witchy guides to 2's protagonists and the trio will stand up to the Maxima powered M.W. and the newly introduced witch (who is being lied to or controlled by M.W.) and make things right.

@@ashleybuechler860 YASSSSS!

@@ashleybuechler860 she definitely casted the spell. Her eyes glowed violet like Winnifred’s after she casted it

It was a different cat tho.
