In just a matter of months, the Sanderson Sisters will return in an all-new full-length feature film.
However, it seems that one Hocus Pocus star is under fire for recent comments made on Twitter.
Bette Midler, who plays Winnie (Winifred Sanderson) in the beloved cult-classic, recently shared thoughts on the recent baby formula shortage when MSNBC Anchor Stephanie Ruhle shared some facts about the control of the production by just three American companies.
Middler said:
Of course, the tweet from the Sanderson sister received thousands of replies– mostly in backlash– over the comments from users who called her comments “inappropriate” and “disappointing.”
@ClaraJeffery said:
@bekah_rivera called the comments insensitive.
Surely you don’t think every single woman can produce on demand, right? That is absolutely ridiculous & so insensitive to women who cannot.
Disney previously announced that the beloved Hocus Pocus (1993) would be getting a sequel with Bette Midler (Winnie), Kathy Najimy (Mary), and Sarah Jessica Parker (Sarah) all returning to reprise their roles as the Sanderson Sisters, the witches of Salem.
It’s been nearly two years since the original announcement from Disney that the movie would include not just a star-studded cast, but also a top-notch production team with scripts from Jen D’Angelo (Workaholics) and producers Lynn Harris (King Richard), executive producer Adam Shankman (Disney’s Disenchanted), and crew from the first installment, Ralph Winter (Hocus Pocus), and David Kirschner (Hocus Pocus), serving as executive producer.
