Sabrina: Secrets of a Teenage Witch: A Witch and the Werewolf “movie” is only 63-minutes long, perfect for the short-attention span children which this is geared towards with low-level animation and humor. Adults won’t get much out of it, however, and anyone older than 10 can find better entertainment. The DVD offers OK audio and video but features are basically non-existent.

As one of the writer/developers/story editors of this series I would like to add that the animation is terrible. Very, very cheap due to the company struggling with bankruptcy at the time. We had great networks who were in constant support (thank you Hub, Margaret, and Ted), but the French animation studio just wanted to get paid and get out of there. The show suffers mightily from the bad, jerky animation and has left me feeling that all that work was for nothing. Sorry about that, folks.
