Escape From Witch Mountain/Return To Witch Mountain (DVD)

...== Escape to Witch Mountain == 'Escape to Witch Mountain' was made in 1975 (directed by John Hough) and is based upon a book (with the same name, written in 1968) by Alexander Key. Blond haired Tony (Ike Eisenmann) and Tia Malone (Kim Richards) are orphans, and tragically their foster parents have just died too (we don't really find out anything about that - think they were old). They end up at some sort of children's home, and go to a school where ...
...coming back. However, the escape to Witch Mountain is not easy with Bolt and Deranian hot on the children's heels. '''More of my thoughts…''' To say more would be to give away too much of the plot (and I fear some might criticise me already - but it was all relevant, I couldn't miss anything out!). This is however a typical Disney film from that era. There's drama and a bit of a car chase, there's naff special effects, and there's a happy ending ...

Review of Escape From Witch Mountain/Return To Witch Mountain (DVD)

Some of you will probably relate to this. You know how you get a film that you watched as a kid, and you can only remember snippets of it. You can never remember the name of the film either, but you know you loved it. And then years later, you accidently come across it again. Well "Escape to..." is one of those films for me.

Review of Escape From Witch Mountain/Return To Witch Mountain (DVD)

...waited many years to own Escape To Witch Mountain. I can’t remember where I first saw it but I don’t think it was in a cinema. It feels like the kind of thing I might have watched projected onto a temporary screen in a Torquay hotel rec room. I know I saw The Love Bug one Sunday afternoon at the synagogue’s adjoining community centre, so it might have been there. Either way, it was 30 years ago and I loved it. Tony and Tia are brother and sister ...
...a nogoodnik, they begin their escape and I’ll give you three guesses where they’re trying to escape to. The special effects are lo-tech but satisfying and my kids have had as much fun with this as with Harry Potter.

Three years later the kids returned in Return From Witch Mountain in which our mentalist minors are terrorized by Christopher Lee and Bette Davis. ...
