==Premise==
A girl named Mary Smith (Sugisaki) who finds "fly-by-night", a mysterious flower that can give her the power to become a [[witch]] for only one night.<ref name="polygon 20161216" /><ref name="youtube trailer 2016" /> The film was released in Japan on 8 July 2017. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the animation and visuals. The English-language version (concurrently released with a subtitled version in the United States on 19 January 2018) features the voices of [[Ruby Barnhill]], [[Kate Winslet]] and [[Jim Broadbent]].

==Plot==
<!-- Per WP:FILMPLOT, plot summaries for feature films should be between 400 to 700 words only. Please check the word count before making any additions. Please discuss any major changes on the talk page. -->
Mary Smith moves into the [[Northern England|northern English]] country estate of her Great Aunt Charlotte. The bored, friendless girl tries to make herself useful through chores, but repeatedly messes up. A local boy named Peter teases her for her clumsiness and wild red hair. Tib and Gib, Peter's cats, lead Mary to some mysterious glowing flowers. The gardener identifies the flowers as "fly-by-night"; legend has it that witches covet the flower for its magical power. The next day, Gib disappears. Tib leads Mary to a broomstick but she accidentally bursts a fly-by-night bulb on it. The bulb releases magical power, making the broomstick come to life and enabling Mary to ride it like a witch. The Little Broomstick whisks Mary away to a complex of buildings in the clouds, known as Endor College for witches.

Headmistress Madam Mumblechook assumes Mary is a new pupil with Tib as her [[familiar]], and takes her on a tour of the college. She introduces Mary to Doctor Dee, the college's renowned chemistry teacher. Mary finds herself able to perform advanced spells such as invisibility. Madam and Doctor Dee become convinced that Mary is a prodigy because of her performance as well as her red hair, which is a distinguishing feature among the best witches.

Mary admits that her magical ability comes from fly-by-night, and that Tib belongs to Peter. Madam's attitude changes, becoming true evil then, but she lets Mary return home once Mary turns over Peter's address. That night, Madam sends a message to Mary, informing that she's kidnapped Peter, and demands that Mary bring the fly-by-night bulbs to her. She and Tib quickly fly back to Endor with the bulbs, but Madam and Doctor Dee imprison her in their transformation lab. Mary finds Peter locked in with her, and discovers that Doctor Dee has been experimenting on animals, including Gib, transforming them into fantastic creatures. From the spell book she took from Madam's office, Mary uses a spell to undo the transformations and unlock the lab. They try to escape on the Little Broomstick, but Peter is recaptured by the evil sorceress again and she vows for her revenge to get the fly-by-night flower and the book.

The Little Broomstick takes Mary to an isolated cottage on a tiny island that seems to be alive. Inside the cottage, Mary finds notes on spells and a mirror that Great-Aunt Charlotte uses to contact her. Through visions, Charlotte reveals that the cottage was her old home, and she used to be a red-haired pupil who excelled at Endor. One day Charlotte found fly-by-night on the campus, leading Madam and Doctor Dee to obsessively pursue a project to use the flower to transform all humans into witches. When their experiments failed, Charlotte escaped Endor, taking the flower with her. Charlotte begs Mary to use her last bulbs to return home, but Mary vows to rescue Peter. The evil-hearted Madam tries to chase Mary and steals her bag and the flower and attacks her successfully and returning back to Endor for the transformation test.

Mary returns to Endor and finds Madam and Doctor Dee trying to transform Peter into a warlock. The experiment fails again, leaving Peter trapped within a gelatinous monster. Mary gets the spell book to Peter, and he uses it to undo the failed experiment and all of Madam and Doctor Dee's research. Mary and Peter fly home, with her throwing away her last bulb and saying she does not need magic.

==Production==

A few months after Mary Stewart's novel of the same name was published in 1971, Walt Disney Productions acquired the film rights. In 1980, [[Mel Shaw]] and director [[Wolfgang Reitherman]] decided to adapt it into an animated feature following the release of ''The Fox and the Hound'', but studio management, including newly-appointed CEO [[Ron W. Miller]], felt the project was too similar to ''[[Bedknobs and Broomsticks]]''. Also, they wanted the animation department to produce more ambitious films such as ''[[The Black Cauldron (film)| The Black Cauldron]]''. 

On 15 December 2016, Yonebayashi and Nishimura held a press conference. Here Yonebayashi, who had previously worked with Ghibli on ''[[When Marnie Was There (film)|When Marnie Was There]]'' and ''[[Arrietty]]'', said "This is the first movie since leaving Studio Ghibli. At Studio Ponoc, we are working diligently with Yoshiaki Nishimura, a producer, and excellent staff."<ref name="natalie 213392" />

When Nishimura was asked about the establishment of the new studio he said, "When the Studio Ghibli producer Toshio Suzuki notified me about the dissolution of the Ghibli Production Department, I was stimulated by the oversea creators when I went to the Academy Awards venue with ''[[The Tale of the Princess Kaguya (film)|The Tale of Princess Kaguya]]''. Remember that you received it." After announcing it was based on ''The Little Broomstick'', Nisimura said, "''[[When Marnie Was There (film)|Marnie of Memories]]'' is a work that proved that Yonebayashi, who excels at dynamic painting, sealed his specialty and can draw trivial emotions. But as a producer, I want to see dynamic animation, so I decided to do a fantasy with a cheerful girl moving around." When asked if he consulted with Takahata or Miyazaki, he said he did not show Miyazaki any storyboards but he did talk to him. They both said the same thing, "be prepared".<ref name="natalie 213392" /> Yonebayashi announced the voice actors on 13 April 2017.<ref name="cinra 20170413" />

===Music===
Composer Takatsugu Muramatsu, who also scored Yonebayashi's last film ''[[When Marnie Was There (film)|When Marnie Was There]]'', is in charge of the soundtrack for ''Mary and the Witch's Flower''. Joshua Messick, one of the world's leading performers of the [[hammered dulcimer]], participated in the score recording.<ref name="Soundtrack" /><ref name="joshua messick ost" />

The theme song is "[[Rain (Sekai no Owari song)|Rain]]", performed by [[Sekai no Owari]].

===Critical response===
{{RT prose|89|6.9|90|''Mary and the Witch's Flower'' honors its creator's [[Studio Ghibli]] roots with a gentle, beautifully animated story whose simplicity is rounded out by its entrancing visuals.}}<ref name="rotten tomatoes" /> {{Metacritic film prose|score=74|count=26|ref=yes|access-date=22 January 2018}}

Sheila O'Malley of ''[[RogerEbert.com]]'' gave the film a rating of three stars out of four and stated that "the total lack of inner conflict in Mary might be why ''Mary and the Witch's Flower''—as transportive and entertaining as it is—feels a little slight".<ref name="ebert 2018" /> Moira Macdonald of ''[[The Seattle Times]]'' noted that although the film "isn't quite a masterpiece" and "the screenplay needs a polish", she concluded that the film is "a joy to look at: a visual adventure, and a continuation of a remarkable legacy".<ref name="seattle times 20180118" />
