But it really is just a generic kids' movie you've likely seen done before. Only, it's hard to find it very enjoyable. Earwig had a happy home at the orphanage, only to be taken in by a witch. Not a fun witch like Sophie Hatter claims to be, but the fairy tale kind. She doesn't ever show a side to her other than cruelty, and this lack of development with the characters makes it hard for us to want to see Earwig stick around this household.
The ending is so abrupt as well, so much was left unsolved that I was like "that's it?" All the stuff with the orphanage and Earwig's old life is not brought back, even if she ever got to see her old friends is left on a cliffhanger. It didn't feel like a good payoff for everything we sat through.
