    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Some ideas from the film were recycled from an unfilmed project called "Mirrorworlds", originally set to be made by producer Charles Band's previous studio, Empire Pictures, during the 1980s.
    • Goofs
      Bella and Donna go through the mirror, then somehow manage to reappear on our side to throw tea on Tuttle's wife. However, Tansy later states that one berry is good for one trip, which means that Mary-Margaret should have seven used berries (not three) as berries in the Mirror World are hard to obtain (and Bella and Donna would be making three trips).

    An inferior quality kiddie flick
    Magic in the Mirror is your run-of-the-mill children's movie which doesn't have much to offer...the story is stale, the acting isn't really good and the special effects are nothing to talk about. In my opinion, it would be better to take your kids to the park or something. Rating: * out of *****
