"The witch had a cat and a hat that was black, And long ginger hair in a braid down her back. How the cat purred and how the witch grinned, As they sat on their broomstick And flew through the wind."

Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson. Illustrated by Axel Scheffler

Age Recommendation: Pre-School/Kinder Topic/ Theme: Friendship Setting: A Windy/ Stormy Night

Rating: 5/5

This is just a lovely book it has taken me far too long to get around to reading. Room on the Broom is designed to be read out loud with the rhyming writing style. It has a lyrical feel. The story is one of friendship and sharing, with The Witch and her familiar making new friends as things go wrong during the night. Scheffler's illustrations are endearing and cute. He's made a choice to make The Witch somewhat unconventional. Witches in black are usually the ugly or the evil. The Witch is clearly not evil she is advocating sharing and friendship, for appearance is warted but smiley and with large swaths of colour. The animals (frog, bird, dog, cat) almost look wonderful. There is absolutely no realism involved and that is perfect. This is just a sweet book with a great message perfect for reading out loud to a group of kids or as a bedtime story.

If you've never seen it there is a film of Room on the Broom. It's on AppleTV, Netflix and if you are in Australia ABC iView has it for free on their catalogue. If you can access it, it's worth your time. It's adorable. If you need a reason to go and find it let me tell you the cast. Simon Pegg, Gillian Anderson, Rob Brydon, Timothy Spall, Martin Clunes, Sally Hawkins, and David Walliams.

FR · Bonjour tout le monde ! Je reviens avec une trad qui change d'ordinaire, puisqu'il s'agit d'une traduction partielle d'un livre illustré de Julia Donaldson, autrice de littérature jeunesse britannique. J'ai réalisé cette trad pour un examen, et après vérification, le titre français officiel s'intitule La Sorcière dans les Airs. Très, très éloigné de ma trad haha ! Mais au moins j'aurais essayé.

EN · Hi everyone! I'm back with an unusual translation: a partial translation of an illustrated book by British children's author Julia Donaldson. I made this translation for an exam, and after checking, the official French title is La Sorcière dans les Airs. A long, long way from my translation haha! But at least I tried.

The Story

The film is an adaptation of the classic children's book... gone HORRIBLY WRONG!

The book's story was nonsensical, but it was a book that used rhymes to help young children learn to read. And with an adaptation, you need to change a few things so the story works as a film. But what the film does to this childhood classic is make a 30 minute film out of a 5 minute bedtime story, and it shows!

The story is given no explanation on why the witch is letting the animals on the broom. Or better yet, why the animals want to go on the broom in the first place!

If the witch had a taxi-like service for animals, that would be fine, but we are given no evidence of this and we don't know where the witch is taking the animals too. Maybe she's taking them to her witch cult and use them as sacrifices to their devil overlord? It's a valid reason because we are given no reason at all!

The Characters

The animals are all unlikeable, as soon as they get on the broom, they refuse to let the other animal on the broom. WHY? It just makes them look like jerks and you just want the dragon to eat them.

The other two characters (witch and dragon) are not given any interesting personalities or anything!

The Animation/Special Effects

The Animation is the worst part of this film. The frame rate is horrible, it doesn't go faster than 20 frames per second. Even the original Mario game runs faster than this short made over 30 years later!!!

The dragon is the worst thing I have ever seen an animated adaptation. In the book, he is an intimidating, red dragon with horns and a furry body. In the short film, they make him fat and give him a unicorn horn! He looks as intimidating as a pug snorting!

The rest of the character designs don't work well, either. The 3D art style (I can't tell if it's CGI or Claymation because it's so ugly!) doesn't suit the story, it would of benefited from a 2D art style. It would be closer to the Art style of the book and it would look less ugly!

Final Thoughts

Overall, this is one of the worst adaptations I have seen for a children's book. The story makes no sense, the characters are jerks and the animation is just UGLY!

If you want your children to experience the story you grew up with, just read them the story at bedtime. I know it's easier to show them this film, but trust me, it isn't worth it!

The Story 1/5 The Characters 1/5 The Animation/Special Effects 1/5

Overall 1/5

Bra strap keep sounds useful how do you make it?

Caveat that I stole this idea from Eshakti (which is GENIUS so I have no idea why no other company does it), but it's basically putting a little strip of fabric with a snap on the inside shoulder seam:

So then you put your bra strap inside it, snap it closed, and it can't fall down.

I made these ones with a bit of grosgrain ribbon folded in half lengthwise, and then put them in upside down because I'm a moron, but they still work:
