Vote for Hocus Pocus LEGO ideas featuring the Sanderson Sisters!

Here at Chip and co we love a LEGO ideas project and we are particularly loving this Hocus Pocus Lego idea, based upon the Sanderson Sisters and their spooky house! This incredible Hocus Pocus LEGO idea is based upon the spooky, fan-loving classic feature film, Hocus Pocus! Not only has the designer envisioned the legendary house but also included figures of the Sanderson Sisters, Mery, Winifred and Sarah! If you look close enough you might be able to find Thackery Binks as the black cat!

The designer “Enkia”, has titled this set Sanderson Sister’s Cottage! The designer clearly adores the movie as she wanted to share her love of magic as well as the ability to create the witch cottage with the three funny sisters!

The idea set contains a fully furnished two-floor cottage with all many magical accessories from the iconic movie, including the spellbook, black candle, brooms, magic potion and the famous flying hoover! The project contains 2070 lego parts with the three Sanderson Sisters and a easter egg… Thackery Binks in his Black Cat form! This iconic Hocus Pocus LEGO idea set will certainly ‘put a spell on you’!

If you love this LEGO ideas set just as much as us, please click here and support this!

Sarah Jessica Parker Confirms The Sanderson Sisters Are On Board for ‘Hocus Pocus 2’

Sarah Jessica Parker Confirms The Sanderson Sisters Are On Board for ‘Hocus Pocus 2’. In a recent interview with Radio Andy, Sarah Jessica Parker was asked about the development of Hocus Pocus 2 and she shared that Bette, Kathy, and herself are “very hospitable to the idea.” and that “We’ve agreed publicly to the right people, yes, that would be a very, very fun idea, so we’ll see what the future holds.”

During the 2019 Hulaween gala, Midler spoke with ET on the red carpet about the Hocus Pocus sequel coming to Disney+ and the Disney Legend is more than enthusiastic about the project.

“Oh my goodness me. Oh I hope they get to me before I’m a corpse,” joked Midler, who dressed up as classic movie icon Mae West for this years gala. “We [Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy and Sarah Jessica Parker] wanna fly again. I hope Disney+ is a big success and I hope we get to do it, because [Winifred] is of course one of my favorite characters.”

Kathy Najimy also attended Midler’s 2019 Hulaween gala and had her own ideas for the sequel, even if they were not asked to reprise their roles.

“I heard about it online the same time as [everyone else],” Najimy said. “But here’s the honest answer: Sarah and Bette and I all have a million projects and things that we’re into, so I don’t know if they’re gonna offer us [roles]. I don’t know if the worlds are going to collide so that we could all three do it at the same time,” Kathy continued,  “But I’m happy that it’s happening, because the fans are really rabid and they really want it,” she added with a smile. “[And] if we’re not all available to star in it, I think it would be so great to do a cameo. I think that’d be really fun.”

According to Variety, sources say Director Adam Shankman has been tapped to direct the highly anticipated Hocus Pocus sequel set to premiere exclusively on Disney’s new streaming service, Disney+. Shankman is best known for directing Hairspray, Step Up, A Walk to Remember, and is currently in pre-production for the sequel to Enchanted, named Disenchanted.

Never seen Hocus Pocus? Check out this synopsis of the original film, ” The film tells the story of teen siblings Max (Omri Katz) and Dani (Thora Birch) Dennison, who move to Salem, Massachusetts. Along with their new friend, Allison (Vinessa Shaw), the siblings come up on an abandoned old house, and accidentally unleash a coven of evil witches, the Sanderson Sisters (Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy), who plan to suck the soul out of Salem’s children. With the help of Thackerey Binx — a man who was once a wizard but is now a magical cat — the kids try to stop the sisters from becoming immortal, so they devise a plan to steal the witches’ book of spells.”

What do you think of a Hocus Pocus sequel on Disney+? Would you be excited if The Sanderson Sisters were back, yet again? How would they return and what sort of mischief would they get in to when returning, possibly, in 2020’s? We would love to hear your thoughts and theories in the comments.

Top 5 Picks for Celebrating #Halfway2Halloween at Home

by , Editorial Content Director, Disney Parks

Fun Ways to Celebrate Halfway to Halloween

As part of our #Halfway2Halloween takeover at Disney Parks, we’re digging up five favorite ways to have some spook-tacular fun at home! Whether it’s a delightfully ghoulish DIY project, a creepily creative candy apple or a not-so-scary digital wallpaper for your device, check out our list of Disney surprises:

1 – Make One of These Not-So-Scary DIY projects

Our first way to celebrate #Halfway2Halloween is with a bewitchingly wondrous series of DIY projects.

        2 – Harken Back to Halloween Past

        Celebrate #Halfway2Halloween with a fascinating look at the history of Halloween at Disney Parks.

        3 – Learn Something New about The Haunted Mansion

        One of our favorite attractions is The Haunted Mansion, so add to the #Halfway2Halloween fun with these facts:

        • The idea for a haunted house at Disneyland was included in an early concept design sketch by Harper Goff dating back to 1952, when Disneyland was still being conceptualized.
        • Within a week of the Haunted Mansion’s opening, Disneyland celebrated what was then its highest single-day attendance.
        • 20 tombstone tributes exist both inside and around the exterior of the attraction. The epitaphs on the tombstones were written to honor several Disney Legends and Walt Disney Imagineers who created and maintain the attraction.
        • The final exterior concept for the house is heavily influenced by the Victorian-era Shipley-Lydecker House in Baltimore, Maryland.
        • Thurl Ravenscroft is the voice of “Uncle Theodore” who leads the “Phantom Five” quintet of singing headstones. His voice can also be heard at Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room as the voice of both Fritz and Tangaroa.
        • The pipe organ seen in the ballroom sequence was featured as Captain Nemo’s pipe organ in the Disney film classic, “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.” For more details, check out George’s story here.
        • Leota Toombs, a former Walt Disney Imagineer and Disney Legend, served as the famous face of Madame Leota.
        • The Hatbox Ghost was featured in Haunted Mansion when the attraction first opened. Then, he mysteriously vanished, only to reappear in 2015 in time for the 60th anniversary of Disneyland.

        Plus, we’d like to introduce you to 13 of the attraction’s residents at Disneyland Resort.

        4 – Create a Special Candy Apple

        Also, you can choose from a variety of Halloween candy apple tutorials to celebrate #Halfway2Halloween. Each of these apples are coated with delicious candies, colored sugar and more.

        5 – Add some Spooky fun to Your Devices

        For #Halfway2Halloween, you must also dig into our dozens of spooky Disney Parks Blog wallpapers and customize your desktop and mobile devices with Disney magic. Click on your favorite wallpaper above to download, or head to our wallpaper page and search for “Halloween” for a variety of designs and sizes!

        • Hocus Pocus
        • Nightmare Before Christmas (a personal favorite)
