A musical fantasy series
High on a misty mountain lives Ali, a clean-freak witch with a broomstick trick, and Rupert, her eye-rolling cinnamon cat. Down in the village lives Stanley, a boy brave enough to send a witch a Halloween card.
“Up in the mountains where the fog rolls thick, lived Ali the witch with her broomstick trick…”
About us
Ali the Witch & Stanley began with a song about a witch nobody dared to visit, and a boy brave enough to send her a card.
I’m Mark Devine, a filmmaker who loves telling stories through music. Every Thursday a brand-new song flies down the mountain and becomes a short musical film, full of broomstick rides, bubbling spells and a sprinkle of mischief.
Where to find us: a new film lands every Thursday. Follow along for sneak peeks as each adventure comes together, wherever you like to watch.
The stories are about kindness, courage and friendship: a lonely witch who learns she isn’t so scary after all, a boy who looks past the village gossip, and a cinnamon cat who rolls his eyes at all of it.

A note from Ali: “My cauldron is bubbling over with orders, and magic this special can’t be rushed. Last time I hurried a spell, Rupert went purple for a week! So please allow up to 4 weeks for your gift to be finished. It’ll be worth the wait, and it’ll arrive spotless.” – Ali
Magic corner
Write Ali a card just like Stanley did, or throw three ingredients in the cauldron and see what happens.
Stanley’s card surprised Ali so much she flew all the way down the mountain. What will yours say?
Pick three ingredients, then stir. Ali says magic can fix anything… but it usually goes wrong!
The cauldron is bubbling quietly.
