Hocus Pocus Wasn't Your Typical Disney Movie

• I posted previously about Thora Birch and her connections with PG and evil elements in Hollywood. Her mother Carol Connors starred in Deep Throat and her father has been infamous for trying to coach Birch's sex scenes.

• Birch starred topless in American Beauty at age 16, alongside Jeffrey Epstein's associate, Kevin Spacey.

• While a teenager, Birch regularly visited Hugh Hefner and the Playboy Mansion... evidenced by this photo of her with a "bloody nose" and Hefner wearing devil horns:

The Disney movie that propelled Birch to Hollywood stardom, Hocus Pocus, is praised in this article as an example of what good things can happen when young children are "raised by Hollywood's most powerful women".

Several excerpts follow, as well as two recent photos of Birch that suggest she may not be doing quite as great as the article claims. She is only 36:

Excerpts from the Romper's 2018 'Claim to Fame' article:

"From featuring a book that was made out of human flesh to the constant 'virgin' talk, Hocus Pocus wasn't your typical Disney movie"...

• "After taking on the role of Dani Dennison in the 1993 cult classic Hocus Pocus, Thora Birch, who had mostly done strictly TV work up until that point, became almost as recognizable as that of her A-list co-stars. By association, it turned Birch into an unforgettable child star.

• "She admits that even today she can't fully understand exactly what it is that made this movie such a phenomenon -- especially considering the essential premise centers around witches sucking the souls out of children. 'When you think about it, it’s kind of a dark story,' she muses.

• "Before Buffy Summers started slaying vampires and Sabrina Spellman began casting spells, Dani Dennison proved that you don't have to be of a certain age to be a badass. [Note that the character's initials were 'DD'. As mentioned above, Birch's next major Hollywood movie was American Beauty with Kevin Spacey, where she filmed a topless scene at the age of 16.]

• "It was important for Birch, looking back on it, to have a team of women pushing the movie forward. 'That feeling on set of it being a female-led movie for young girls was a great thing to be apart of,' she explains. 'We were working alongside very powerful figures in the industry at the time'.

• "Wading through the murky waters of childhood stardom is no easy feat, many have been pulled in and come out barely clutching to their good-kid image, but in the case of actress Thora Birch, growing up in Hollywood proved to be a fairly positive experience."

[Note they use the phrase 'fairly positive'... This begs the question, what parts of it were not positive? Don't think we'll get those answers here]
