Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The original Hocus Pocus was a box office bomb in 1993; this sequel became Disney+'s most-watched film premiere ever.
The younger Sanderson sisters are played by different actors, but Midler insisted on performing 'One Way or Another' live on set to maintain continuity of chaotic energy.
