"Those characters were so defined and different and what they did was amazing. "Those women were fantastic," he says of the three Sanderson sisters. Murray had plenty of fun with his peers while shooting the film, but he also got to learn from some of the best: Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy. "There was just a lot of fun a lot of camaraderie. ![]() To this day, it was just incredible."Īlthough Binx remains a cat throughout the majority of the movie, Murray was on set to read his lines to the rest of the cast while they shot, and as a result he was able to bond with the other young actors, Omri Katz (Max), Vinessa Shaw (Allison), and Thora Birch (Dani), whether they were shooting on a soundstage or on location in Salem. "The house, the moat.I've never seen anything like that. "The one that I'll never forget is when I came on the lot, the soundstage for the first time, and was shown the Sanderson sisters house," the actor says. And Murray's memories of filming Hocus Pocus are still magical in his mind. He played Thackery Binx, the 17th-century teenage boy who gets turned into an immortal black cat. Murray just began his 16th season on CBS' NCIS, but Hocus Pocus fans will definitely recognize him from the opening and closing scenes of the film. "It was a really good time and I learned a lot. "I consider myself very fortunate to be a part of that," Sean Murray says, speaking over the phone in early October. The film has a lasting legacy that's not just felt by its fans. Recently, members of the cast gathered for a special Hocus Pocus anniversary celebration at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, which will also air on Freeform on Saturday, Oct. Disney's Freeform network plays the movie practically around the clock in October. There's no escaping Hocus Pocus when Halloween rolls around, which is great news for fans of the comedic romp. Though the movie, which tells the tale of three 17th-century witches brought back to life 300 years later, came out in the dead of summer in 1993, the House of Mouse is nothing if not persistent. Bombay cats are very calm and tolerant which is very similar to Thackery’s personality.There's absolutely no doubt that Disney's Hocus Pocus has become a Halloween classic in the 25 years since its debut. ![]() Bombay cats are considered a very smart breed and Thackery Binx is brainy too.Thackery was very affectionate towards his family and friends and Bombay cat, in general, is also very loving towards its family.Though Thackery Binx is a human trapped inside a cat’s body, we still compared the personality of Binx the cat with the traits of a Bombay cat for fun, and here’s what we found: Since black cats are considered the favorite pets of the witches, it was a wise choice by the creator to choose the Bombay cat breed for this role. The theme of the movie is centered around witchcraft and Halloween, so it seems perfect that the cat Thackery Binx(human) turned into is black and very spooky looking. For the purpose of the movie, the cat was made to look normal but originally Binx was intended to look vicious.Larry Madrid, the cat trainer in this movie has also been part of other famous movies like Forrest Gump, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Marmaduke, and The Smurfs 1 and 2.Thora Birch (the actress who plays Max’s sister role) was not very comfortable with her cat co-star and ironically she has the most screen time with the cat.In total, 8 cat actors were used to play the role of Binx. ![]()
