Her life changes dramatically when a strange couple takes her in, and she is forced to live with a selfish witch. As the headstrong young girl sets out to uncover the secrets of her new guardians, she discovers a world of spells and potions and a mysterious song that may be the key to finding the family she has always wanted.
Earwig and the Witch is directed by Goro Miyazaki, and the dub cast includes Kacey Musgrave, Richard E. Grant, and Dan Stevens to name a few.
