Cute Witch: Both Mary and the Red-Haired Witch in the Action Prologue are adorable young women. However, whereas the Red-Haired Witch was a genuine witch who fled from a magical school to keep her teachers from hurting more of her classmates with the Fly-By-Night, Mary is a Muggle granted astounding magical power by the Fly-By-Night, but could only use them for a day before she is powerless again.

Flower Motifs: The Fly-By-Night flowers is based on the grape hyacinth; in Christianity, grape hyacinths were associated with wisdom and tranquility. The Fly-By-Night flower is a rare plant that blooms once every seven years, and grants people temporary yet incredible magical ability when crushed into a blue liquid. Ironically, the Fly-By-Night is the main source of all of Mary's problems as she ends up in a prestigious magic school based on a lie and said school's faculty, Madam Mumblechook and Doctor Dee, have been looking for the Fly-By-Night so they could use the flower to create witches with godlike power.

Big Good: Mumblechook is the benevolent mistress of Endor College who's impressed by Mary's talents in creating spells. It's eventually subverted as she turns out to be Evil All Along alongside Doctor Dee. She used to be a kind and humble teacher who cared for her students, but after the Red-Haired Witch showed her the Fly-By-Night flower, she became obsessed with imbuing people with godlike power. She's working with Dee to recreate the experiment that resulted in the catastrophic destruction of Endor College years prior.

Evil All Along: Somewhat downplayed since the revelation doesn't take very long to come up, but when we're first introduced to Madam Mumblechook and Doctor Dee, they appear to be friendly and likable people who treat Mary with praise and respect.

Obliviously Evil: Madam and Dr. Dee are obsessed with harnessing the power of the Fly-By-Night and engage in cruelties like animal and human experimentation, kidnapping, and ransom demands, but completely lack self-awareness regarding the morality of their actions and appear to think they're genuinely acting for the betterment of the world and that this end goal justified their extreme measures. After all they've put her through, they actually show what appears to be genuine concern for Mary's wellbeing during the failure of the second experiment, which seems to indicate that in some twisted way, they actually do care for her and the others around them that they've endangered.

Mumblechook loses her Affably Evil demeanor she'd shown for most of the film when not only have the animals escaped, but Mary has stolen her book of spells.

Four Eyes, Zero Soul: Madam Mumblechook and Doctor Dee frequently wear glasses. They turn out to be the main villains, willing to blackmail Mary into giving them the Fly-By-Night flowers and carry on their transformation experiments on children. They used to be much kinder people, but after the Red-Haired Witch introduced them to the Fly-By-Night flowers, they became obsessed with obtaining power from it.

Unfortunately, when she gives it to Madam Mumblechook and Doctor Dee, they decide to conduct experiments on animals and eventually on a human victim which ultimately leads to the destruction of Endor College's laboratory. By lying about being a student at Endor College and saying that Peter has the Fly-By-Nights, Mary ultimately ends up causing Peter to become yet another test subject for Mumblechook and Dee.

Breather Episode: Was made to be this to producer Yoshiaki Nishimura’s previous films The Tale of the Princess Kaguya and When Marnie Was There, which were massive tearjerker arthouse films while this film is a more lighthearted fairy tale adventure (but not without its darker moments). The film is also this to production committee member Studio Khara, being a much Lighter and Softer project after the incredibly bleak Evangelion:3.0 You Can (Not) Redo. and Shin Godzilla (which itself was a Lighter and Softer Breather Episode in comparison to Eva, while being the darkest film since the original and the most gruesome Godzilla film to date).

 Mary and The Witch's Flower / int_90e31482
comment
Laser-Guided Karma: Doctor Dee's prosthetic right arm came from a laboratory accident, later revealed to be from his failed attempt to give Endor College's students godlike power. No matter how well-intentioned his goals were, his decision to experiment on his own students (even if they were consenting) and meddling with things he shouldn't have cost him an arm. Later on, Madam Mumblechook and Doctor Dee decide to try again once they hear Mary's found the Fly-By-Night flower they were looking for, and this time experiment on Peter in hopes their experiment would work this time. Again, it ends disastrously when Peter's body is unable to handle so much power and turns into a Blob Monster instead, destroying their laboratory and devouring Madam Mumblechook's magic, leaving her completely powerless. Not only that, it's revealed they were both experimenting on animals by turning them into mix-matched creatures. Once the animals are freed and restored, they're last seen angrily surrounding Madam Mumblechook and Doctor Dee, intent on having revenge for their cruel treatment.

Foreshadowing: Madam Mumblechook explains to Mary that one of their most difficult areas of magic to practice is transformation. Given what happens whenever she and Doctor Dee try to transform young witches into godlike beings with extraordinary power, she isn't lying. Doctor Dee is explaining that the group of caged animals going into the strongroom are part of their research on transformation. Tib suddenly tries as hard as he can to run into that room... After his cat is transformed into a frog creature by Dee and Mumblechook, Peter wishes that he was transformed instead, specifically into a grown-up. Come to the final act, that's exactly what ends up happening, at least for a few moments. While escaping Mumblechook, the Little Broomstick takes Mary to an abandoned house that's looked after by a fire spirit, who recognizes her as the house's "owner" through her red hair. This is because the Red-Haired Witch once lived here.

Oh, Crap!: When the Endor College laboratory explodes at the beginning of the film, the Red-Haired Witch stares at it in complete horror. Mary gets taken by surprise the moment the Little Broomstick takes her to Endor College and later when she meets Flanagan for the first time after she inadvertently crashes into his broom collection. When Mary realizes that Madam Mumblechook has led her to Peter, her reaction is that of utter shock. Mumblechook is understandably shocked and outraged the moment she realizes that the animals Mary and Peter have set free have escaped and her book has been stolen. Peter panics the moment he realizes that he's going to be subjected to the same experiment that destroyed Endor's previous laboratory. Mumblechook and Dee briefly share a moment of terror when their experiment fails once again and later when they find themselves surrounded by the understandably upset animals that they previously experimented on.

Be Careful What You Wish For: Mary, feeling useless and bored at her Great-Aunt Charlotte's home, wishes that she could have some excitement in her life. After finding the Fly-By-Night flowers, she becomes a witch and is introduced to magic, something she initially enjoys. But then she witnesses the dangers of magic once she discovers the caged transformed animals in the strongroom and that her lies had led to Peter becoming a test subject and turned into a magic-absorbing abomination. Peter wanted to be more grown-up so he could help look after his mother. While subjected to Mumblechook and Dee's experiments, Peter briefly transforms into a handsome young man with colorful butterfly wings on his back... before he destabilizes due to being physically unable to control so much magic and transforms into a magic-absorbing monster. Madam Mumblechook and Doctor Dee wanted to use the Fly-By-Night to give Endor's students unlimited magical power. Unfortunately for them, they ended up turning the volunteered students into magical abominations, and the ensuing accidents have cost them dearly.

Forced Transformation: Mary discovers that Doctor Dee's transformation experiments have created dozens of horrible animal mishmashes, including Peter's cat, Gib, who has become almost frog-like in appearance. Later, Madam Mumblechook and Doctor Dee tries to make Peter a witch with godlike power, but the magic is too much to be controlled and it ends up turning Peter into a Blob Monster instead.

Accidental Hero: Flanagan shows up to help Mary not once, but twice by returning her broom when she needs it most: first when escaping Endor with Peter, and again when needing a ride back home. He even goes as far as repairing the broomstick the second time! The funny thing is that both times Flanagan shows up, it's to reprimand Mary for her improper broom care before flying off his own way, and almost comes off as contrived.

Fallen Hero: According to the Red-Haired Witch, Madam Mumblechook and Doctor Dee used to be caring teachers before they became obsessed with the Fly-By-Night flower and performed unethical experiments with it. The Red-Haired Witch rebelled against her teachers by stealing some seeds, but during her escape, she was attacked by Madam Mumblechook's minions, causing the seeds to be supposedly lost forever.

Shout-Out
 Mary and The Witch's Flower / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: One of the transformed creatures resembles Venusaur minus the flower on its back. There are several aspects of the film that resemble previous Studio Ghibli works, given that Hiromasa Yonebayashi, Yoshiaki Nishimura and most of the staff previously worked at the studio. Physically speaking, Mary borrows elements from Kiki (being a young 'witch' on a Flying Broomstick) and Ponyo (with her fiery, messy red hair). It also helps that she travels with a black cat on the Little Broomstick. Right at the beginning, there are several to Whisper of the Heart, with Peter - a snarky boy on a bike making fun of the protagonist - resembling Seiji, plus the scene that has Mary following a cat to a mystical place. This cat also belong to the aforementioned boy in both cases. Madame Mumblechook's servants bear resemblance to the Blob Men from Howl's Moving Castle and Fujimoto's servants from Ponyo. Peter's metamorphosis first turns him into a young man that resembles Howl; then a sort of all-engulfing blob monster not unlike the Shishigami/Shinigami in Princess Mononoke. Mary rides a deer in a way similar to Ashitaka in Princess Mononoke. The Witch's Flower and Aetherium in Castle in the Sky; both make the main character able to fly, and they produce a similar blue light. See also Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water, for comparisons with a previous collaborator of Hayao Miyazaki. The cloud named "the Dragon's Nest" in Castle in the Sky, where a Floating Continent is hidden, and the cloud where is the school of Endor. In the beginning, Mary is bored like Chihiro in Spirited Away; later, she has to use a series of steps of a way bordering a precipice, like Chihiro to meet Kamaji; the school of Endor, with its colors and characters, has suggestions of the Palace of Yubaba; Doctor Dee spider-like chair resembles Kamaji; the paper butterfly of Madame Mumblechook is a way to communicate like the paper dolls of Zeniba; the first, watery apparition of Madame Mumblechook is similar to the river god. Mary encounters a small, blob-like fire creature that powers the Red-Haired Witch's old house, similar to Howl's Moving Castle's Calcifer. Doctor Dee's robotic servants greatly resemble the Starmen from EarthBound (1994). The mutated animals that Doctor Dee experimented on comes to mind of the chimeras from Mother 3. In The Bible, Endor is the home of a witch consulted by King Saul to try to raise the spirit of the dead prophet Samuel. Doctor Dee is undoubtedly named for the real-life Elizabethan mathematician and occultist Doctor John Dee.

"Eureka!" Moment: After Mary gets thrown into Doctor Dee's transformation lab, she encounters the transformed animals in their cages. This leads to her deducing that Dee has been transforming the animals using Madam Mumblechook's spell book. Another moment in the climax where Doctor Dee tells Mary that the blob monster can use any spell. With Peter's help, they use the undo spell to reverse the changes done to him.

Later on, Madam Mumblechook and Doctor Dee decide to try again once they hear Mary's found the Fly-By-Night flower they were looking for, and this time experiment on Peter in hopes their experiment would work this time. Again, it ends disastrously when Peter's body is unable to handle so much power and turns into a Blob Monster instead, destroying their laboratory and devouring Madam Mumblechook's magic, leaving her completely powerless. Not only that, it's revealed they were both experimenting on animals by turning them into mix-matched creatures. Once the animals are freed and restored, they're last seen angrily surrounding Madam Mumblechook and Doctor Dee, intent on having revenge for their cruel treatment.

Food Porn: As typical of former Studio Ghibli personnel, food is shown with lavish detail. The luncheon area of Endor College deserves special mention, with pork and beef being cooked and prepared by... anthromorphic pigs and cows. Mary even states that "lunchtime" would be a potential favorite subject after looking at the food.

Mix-and-Match Critters: Played for Drama; the creatures in the strongroom seem to have several animal traits mixed together (eg. mammals with butterfly wings), including some with non-animal traits (eg. a koala with crystals on its back). They're the result of Mad Scientist experimentation, and the animals are quite happy to be turned back.

Pet the Dog: Madam Mumblechook and Dr. Dee spend most of the film engaging in cruelties such as animal and human experimentation, kidnapping, and giving Stern Chase. But after their experiment goes wrong for a second time and causes disaster, they do show genuine concern for Mary's wellbeing and tell Mary to flee and save herself when it looks like she's about to charge into the fray. As terrible as their actions throughout the film are, this implies they do, to some extent, care about the lives of those around them, and lines up with Aunt Charlotte's opinion that they were once good people whose ambitions drove them to immoral extremes.
