Short Plot Synopsis
Poor Little Witch Girl is part of the wide 1958-1967 animation landscape, when theatrical shorts, television episodes, features, sponsored films, and international festival works all overlapped.
The film's importance is contextual as much as individual. It keeps a studio, national tradition, character line, or production mode visible inside a decade of rapid change.
Why Is It Worth Watching?
