Disney and Ava Duvernay as director team up to create this Avatar meets Willy Wonka children's story based on the Madeline L'Engle book. So it's a Disney story (missing father, children go on a time travel adventure alone, fun cartoonish characters help them along the way) with a diverse-ish cast (Storm Reid as the pre-pubescent Meg, Oprah Winfrey and Mindy Kaling and Reese Witherspoon as the good witches).
When Meg's father Dr Murry (Chris Pine) disappears in a time travel accident, Meg and her brother Charles Wallace conjure up a time travel of their own to "Tesser" their way to find their father. The witches help them along the way.
* * * of 5. Big budget, Industrial Light and Magic effects, visually interesting, but the storyline is a bit dull for adult tastes.
