As an adult, I'm shocked how much I enjoyed this movie. Sure, it's campy, but that lends itself to the genre. Pretty dark for a kids movie, but not in a way that would seriously spook little kids - though I have to admit, it would have scared me as a child, so if you have sensitive children, skip this until they're older. There's quite a few jokes about virgins as well and some props that could be frightening to younger viewers - mainly a book wrapped in what's described as being human skin and some severed toes that are tossed in a pot from afar.
That being said, the witches themselves are fantastic and carry the film. The two protagonists are likeable enough, but it's the villains that really make the movie shine. They're funny, cleverly written, and the overacting sells them 100%. I personally was sold on their act, though some may see them as being overly comical.
All in all, it's a great film and I wish I could see more of the cast members, minus the youngest girl, Danni. Danni's acting ranges from surprisingly convincing to downright fake, though she's a literal child so that's to be expected.
