Ok, I think the Halloween mini-movie thing was just trying to be funny entertainment. But did it reach that goal? Short answer- not that much.
I feel bad for what I'm about to say because I know how time consuming animating is, but the whole thing felt cheap. The character movements were very stiff- I couldn't tell if that one witch was laughing or crying at first! There were also a lot of looping animations to keep things simple, like the two witches laughing. I saw that animation 3 or 4 times.
I was pretty confused from some of the characters' actions and dialogue. Like, how did that witch not realize she magically shrunk and changed into a pumpkin? And why did that other witch say to "mind your own beeswax"? They were literally having a conversation together I think!
The animation features a lot of slapstick, Looney Toons comedy, which isn't my cup of tea, but it's fine. The characters also kinda look like something from Hannah Barbara. At first, I thought the witches' voices would get annoying after some time, but it didn't. That doesn't mean I liked their voices- it was just appropriate for their characters.
I was surprised at how short the end credits were, but it makes sense. The mini-movie felt cheap probably because it was made by such a small team. And with that in mind, I think the team did a pretty nice job making something entertaining with limited resources. I believe the team has potential to do something even greater, depending on their time budget.
And I guess it was funny how that witch just winged it when saying a magic spell. Hehe!
Give it a watch if you want! I don't HIGHLY recommend it, but if you dig deep, you can find some positive aspects.

P. S. Why is it called "Witches In Stitches"? Is it because of how many stitches they need because they hurt each other a lot?
