This is a Japanese 20017 animation called Mary and the Witch's Flower by Studio Ponoc, directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi. It's based on the book "The Little Broomstick" by Mary Stewart.
Mary Smith moves into a new home with her great-aunt because her parents are still busy at work or something and don't appear. Mary begins to explore, meets local kittens and a paper boy called Peter. She finds strange blue flowers called fly-by-night, and picks some to take home. The flowers are very potent and they mark her hand, which causes her to become part of another dimension with magic and a broomstick that behaves like a pet. She's invited to join a strange college in the clouds, run by dubious Madam Mumblechock and Doctor Dee.
The film itself is eye candy. The story is a modern fairytale and a delight for the inner child. I rate this remarkable anime a strong 8/10.
The most scariest part: Parts of it here and there is quite eerie.
Howls ^^
