It is here she finds Endor College a school of magic!

Critical Response
"For longtime Ghibli fans who were afraid they were done with new adventures, especially in the Miyazaki mold, it's tremendous. And for people who aren't familiar with Ghibli, but are looking for a beautifully animated, fast-moving adventure fantasy, it's also tremendous." - The Verge
"...looks and feels so much like a Ghibli film, from the character designs to the story dynamic to the source material." - The Verge
"Visually, Mary and the Witch's Flower is indistinguishable from a Ghibli film... The environments are immaculate and luminous, but the food in particular looks like a series of still-life paintings ready for a museum." - The Verge
"Mary and the Witch's Flower doesn't just borrow elements from Ghibli, it feels like a complete continuation of the studio's work. It's a welcome relief for every animation fan who thought that particular era of Japanese animation had, after 30 years, quietly come to a close." - The Verge
- Australian Box Office $444,265
- The first film from Studio Ponoc!
