Richards will be making cameo appearances! However, it will essentially be a remake of the film with two children playing Tia and Tony (rather than being a follow up). I can't imagine that the remake will be any good - what's the point when the original still works today? I suppose Disney just want to make more money for old rope. But perhaps it'll be worth a look, the storyline will no doubt me more 'modern'.
Anyway, well worth watching the original!

ReturnfromWitchMountain
I have reviewed 'Escape to WitchMountain', so now it's time to review its sequel (also directed by John Hough), which I watched directly following watching the first DVD. Although I had seen the first film numerous times on TV as a child, the sequel was not ...

Advantages: Great family film Disadvantages: None really
base, set inside a mountain, the exterior of which looked an awful lot like the exterior of Cheyenne Mountain in Stargate. Plus of course there's the traveling through space via a wormhole, very SG1!
I really enjoyed the film though, the storyline was good and the pace of the film was just right. Being a kid?s film it couldn?t be too complicated, but it wasn?t dull either, it wasn?t the sort of film where my kids had to ask questions about what was going on, because it was all explained during the film, but in an entertaining way. There were a couple of scenes early on in the film, where they first introduced the enforcer that might be a tiny bit scary for very young viewers, because the creature pops ups in dark corners for a couple of seconds here and there.

The siblings have telepathic and telekinetic powers: they can read each others' minds, and mentally move objects at will.

Can Tina, accompanied by a band of plucky teens, find him before it's too late?
