'A Simple Wish' tells the sweet-natured story of Murray, a bumbling fairy godfather who has good intentions but not much else. Technically, Murray is a fairy godmother--the only male member of the North American Fairy Godmother Association. After barely passing his godmother's exam, he is sent to New York City to watch after Anabel, a young girl who wishes that her father, Oliver, will land a part in a Broadway musical, so that the family won't have to move to Nebraska. But when the district's previous godmother, a nefarious spellcaster named Claudia, arrives with her wacky sidekick, Boots, her plans to cripple Murray and Anabel's magical association and monopolize the wish market wreak havoc on the already unstable Murray. It's up to Murray and Anabel to pool their resources and get rid of Claudia and Boots once and for all. Director Michael Ritchie turns the fairytale knob up a notch with 'A Simple Wish', also taking the time to poke fun at Broadway musicals. Featuring spectacular special effects and an extremely engaging performance by Wilson, this is a children's fable with a fresh twist..     Actors Martin Short, Mara Wilson, Kathleen Turner, Robert Pastorelli, Amanda Plummer, Teri Garr, Ruby Dee, Francis Capra & Jonathan Hadary Director Michael Ritchie Certificate Universal Suitable for All Year 1997 Screen Widescreen 2.40:1 Languages English - DTS-HD Master Audio (5.1) Additional Languages French ; Italian ; German ; Spanish ; Japanese ; Latin American Spanish ; Brazilian Portuguese Subtitles English for the hearing impaired ; Italian ; German ; Spanish ; Japanese ; Brazilian Portuguese ; Danish ; Dutch ; Finnish ; Greek ; Korean ; Latin American Spanish ; Norwegian ; Portuguese ; Swedish ; Traditional Mandarin Closed Captions Yes Duration 1 hour and 29 minutes (approx)

Seven-year-old Anabel (Mara Wilson) wishes for a fairy godmother after the death of her mother, but doesn't expect anything like Murray (Martin Short), the world's first male angelic guardian. Instead of guaranteeing Anabel's dad a part in a new Broadway musical, Murray manages to turn him into a statue. The problems really begin with the arrival of Claudia (Kathleen Turner), a former fairy who has turned to the dark side and stolen all the other godmothers' wands. All she needs now to become all-powerful is Murray's wand.
