Supernatural Witch Punie Chan Vegetables is a comedic anime series that revolves around the misadventures of a young witch named Punie Tanaka. The show combines elements of fantasy, comedy, and action, creating a unique and entertaining viewing experience. The main character, Punie, is a not-so-typical witch who attends a magical school. She is known for her petite stature and adorable appearance, but don't let that fool you. Punie is actually a ruthless and powerful warrior, capable of taking down her opponents with ease. One recurring theme in the series is Punie's love for vegetables.
Magic Gift of the Snowman is a 1995 Christmas special animated by Jetlag Productions and released by GoodTimes Entertainment.
The character design is typical Jetlag Productions, too, and not the most appealing; Landon for example, looks almost exactly like Peter Cratchit in A Christmas Carol 1994. When Landon finds out that his younger sister, Emery Elizabeth, is so ill that she might not live to see another Christmas, he comes up with a plan to help her get better.
One recurring theme in the series is Punie's love for vegetables. Despite her small size, she has a huge appetite and is often seen munching on carrots, cucumbers, and other healthy snacks. This unusual fondness for vegetables adds a touch of humor and quirkiness to her character.

Review:
I stumbled across this animated tale on Hulu.com during the Christmas season and, while not a great movie, it is definitely cute and will appeal to younger viewers, especially to preschoolers. The animation is simple, but bright and colorful. Emery Elizabeth and all of the girls in the movie were shown with pale pink lips that almost didn’t even look real so there was something off about the animation of the faces, but that is a minor detail. Landon reminded me visually of Henry in The Littles, but he and all of the other children are animated in a very cute, borderline anime-fashion (no big eyes). There are some original songs included, none of which I felt was good enough for me to remember what they were about when the movie was over, but I am sure that children will enjoy the music nonetheless.
The best part about the movie, however, is the sweet storyline. It was so wonderful to see an animated special where siblings not only got along, but they love each other and encourage each other. Landon loves his little sister very much. Rather than be upset that she is getting a lot of care and attention due to her prolonged illness, Landon is determined to do all he can to help Emery Elizabeth get better. He spends a chilly afternoon in the yard creating Snowden, a snowman that reminded me quite a bit of Frosty the Snowman, but in sunglasses and a trenchcoat. Snowden’s slang may be dated now, but little kids will not know that and will get a kick out of the way Snowden talks. Landon and Emery Elizabeth must help Snowden recover Princess Electra’s smile from an evil villain who is determined to make all of the children take candy, rainbows and their dreams and turn them into a bunch of slimy yuk. Emery Elizabeth is critical to defeat the villain as she can use the power of her inner self to turn her wheelchair into any object with wheels. I loved that the writers chose to make Emery Elizabeth, the handicapped one, the heroine of the story. Instead of having her wheelchair be a weakness, Emery Elizabeth was able to turn this disability into a great strength that eventually saved all of the children!
This movie is definitely created with children in mind. I felt like Landon or another young boy or girl would have imagined a story like this and chosen to share it with their siblings. The magical kingdom where everything takes place only has children who live there. They dance, play and sing all day, powered by Princess Electra’s magical smile. The beds are shaped like cream puffs and ice cream cones. Every toy and game imaginable is available for the children to play with and they have no cares or worries. The only limit on what you can do in this magical kingdom is your own imagination.
While I think children will really enjoy this tale, I did not enjoy it as much as I thought I would. There is not a lot there for older children or for adults to want to sit through it with younger viewers. Many view this DVD as a Christmas movie, but there is nothing really Christmasy about it. Emery Elizabeth needs to live past the holiday to have any hope of recovering from her illness, but over half of the action takes place in a magical kingdom. There is one scene at the end that shows Emery Elizabeth opening a Christmas present near the Christmas tree, but that is the only Christmas scene in the movie. Still, if you are looking for a movie to share with your children around the winter holidays, this is a good cartoon to buy. You can usually find it for $2 – $5 online or in stores so it is very affordable and worth the cost if you have little ones at home who will watch it a few times in a row.
Content:
This movie contains an evil villain who looks like a zombie with big bug eyes, but he is not too scary. There is also a scene that contains a lot of fire that the children have to escape. Recommended for ages 2 and up.

I was really disappointed with "Supernatural witch punie chan vegetables". The story was disjointed and lacked coherence. The characters were underdeveloped and I didn't feel any connection or investment in their journeys. The humor fell flat for me and I found it more cringeworthy than funny. Overall, it was a waste of my time and I would not recommend it.

"Supernatural witch punie chan vegetables" had an interesting concept, but it was poorly executed. The plot was confusing and it felt like the story was going in multiple directions without a clear focus. The pacing was off, dragging in some parts and rushing through others. The dialogue was also weak, lacking depth and genuine emotion. I found it hard to immerse myself in the world that the author attempted to create. Unfortunately, this book was a disappointment to me.
