My only criticism of the book is that Ortiz sometimes seems to have a chip on his shoulder, which can be rather large at times. Ortiz does give good examples of things to avoid, and also provides the requisite constructive criticism, providing alternate suggestions and solutions. But there is often more than a hint of derision and sarcasm (at least I read it that way), which I believe has no place in what is essentially a textbook.
Villagers would eagerly anticipate her arrival, hoping to catch a glimpse of her magnificent broom and hear the soft whooshes of air as she flew overhead. Her visits were seen as a blessing, filling the hearts of all with a sense of magic and wonder. However, Hilda's size and power also meant that she had a great responsibility. She often used her abilities to help those in need, acting as a guardian of the land. When dark forces threatened to disrupt the peace, Hilda would rise to the occasion, swooping down from the sky to protect her beloved homeland. People looked up to Hilda not just for her magical abilities but also for her kind and compassionate nature. Despite her intimidating size, she had a heart as warm as the sun and would gladly lend a helping hand to anyone in need. She was loved and respected by all, and her presence brought a sense of comfort and security to the land. Hilda's adventures and deeds were told in tales and legends passed down through generations. Her image was often depicted in paintings and sculptures, capturing her majestic form and awe-inspiring power. She became a symbol of hope and inspiration for all who heard of her. And so, the tale of the gigantic flying witch with a broomstick, Hilda, lives on in the hearts and minds of the people. Her story reminds us of the power of magic, the importance of compassion, and the wonders that can be achieved when one embraces their true potential..

Additionally, I found some of the humor to be missed and the dialogue to be forced. The animation was decent, but it couldn't make up for the shortcomings in other areas. Overall, it was an average film that didn't live up to its potential.
