Synopsis

Bedknobs and Broomsticks
Bedknobs and Broomsticks was produced several years after Walt Disney's death and released in the fall of 1971. As it turned out, Bedknobs was frequently compared to Mary Poppins -- probably thanks to several striking similarities between the two productions, notably the presence in the cast of David Tomlinson, the use of Cockney children as central characters, and the inclusion of sequences that combine animation and live-action. Set in wartime England, Bedknobs stars Angela Lansbury as Eglantine Price, a would-be witch who hopes to use her newly acquired conjuring powers to forestall a Nazi invasion. Saddled with three surly kids who've been evacuated from London, Lansbury wins over her charges by performing various and sundry feats of magic. And, yes, she manages to foil a few Germans along the way. The film's most famous episode is an elaborate undersea fantasy, which combines animation with live-action on a gargantuan scale, dwarfing all previous Disney sequences along these lines. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This movie is a witchier version of Mary Poppins basically, except for the fact that Mary Poppins' bag was pretty witchy, amirite?? For awhile, I kept calling this movie 'Doorknobs and Cheesesticks' only to be corrected everytime. Which is surprising because barely anyone has even heard of this movie. I only heard of it because it popped up when I was looking for Mary Poppins, and of course I was curious so I looked around. I really bought it because I watched the small movie clip that Best Buy had on the site, and in the clip, the youngest child in it had such horrible speech that I needed to know what he was saying. It's a good movie!

A magical musical adventure from a time before Harry Potter. The Special Edition version features an extended cut of the film and several interesting documentaries about how the movie was made.
