A Simple Wish (1997) is a family fantasy-comedy directed by Michael Ritchie. The film stars Mara Wilson as Anabel Greening, an 8-year-old girl who wishes for her father, Oliver (Robert Pastorelli), to land the lead role in a Broadway musical. Her wish is granted—or rather, bungled—by Murray (Martin Short), the first male fairy godmother, whose magical mishaps lead to a series of comedic adventures. As they navigate challenges including a broken wand and the scheming ex-fairy Claudia (Kathleen Turner), Anabel and Murray strive to make her simple wish come true. The cast also includes Amanda Plummer, Francis Capra, Ruby Dee and Teri Garr.

Every VHS tape we sell is individually inspected, cleaned and rewound before being added to our inventory. We carefully check for mold and evaluate each tape for overall condition and presentation.
Original slipcovers are inspected to ensure they remain structurally sound and display well. Vintage rental stickers, price tags and other signs of a tape's history may still be present and are considered part of the authentic VHS experience. For Disney clamshell releases, cases will either be fully intact or replaced with a brand-new clamshell when necessary.
We're picky about condition, cleanliness and collectibility, and only offer tapes we'd be happy to add to our own shelves. While vintage media may show some age-related wear, we do our best to ensure every VHS tape arrives clean, complete and ready for movie night.
