I'd argue that the three little witches have the most complete story arc in the film. From the overlapping babbling introduction, to coming to terms with the death of their mom, to saying goodbye. It's a decent arc.
The other characters are little more than cardboard cutouts, and designed that was as it was the stage acting style at the time.
Yeah they had probably the most complete arc, that says it all.
I'm not sure what you mean with the next sentence: you mean that cardboard cutouts are fine because this what movies used to be in that age?
He's emulating the very stilted theatrical style of the 1950s and 1960s. It was called "Theater of the Absurd". So I was pretty OK with it, unfortunately only theater nerds are going to get what he was going for there. LOL.
Sure.
