Movie Reviews of Bedknobs and Broomsticks Enchanted Musical Edition
Movie Review: Classics you can't beat
Summary: 5 Stars
Bedknobs and Broomsticks Enchanted Musical Edition
This movie doesn't have the modern technology to create the atmosphere. What it does have is talent and storyline that keep it a pleasure to watch.
I see that for the young children of today have a harder time with the movies split between the animated characters and the actors. But as the story plays out they get lost in the colors and music.
For me I saw this when I was young, and shared it with my own children. That was why I purchased 2 of the dvd's recently. One for each of my own children, to share one day with their own children.
Nothing can beat the talent that went into creating this movie can't be beat by today's technology. The song and dance scenes take you right along with the character development.
Check it out if you haven't seen the bed fly, the magically controlled small military stand up against the Nazi's (if I remeber correctly) to defend their small town.
Again Classics can't be beat,content is suitable for all ages.
Summary of Bedknobs and Broomsticks Enchanted Musical Edition
Experience the extraordinary animation, enchanting music and Academy Award-winning special effects (1971: Best Effects, Special Visual Effects) of Disney's beloved classic BEDKNOBS AND BROOMSTICKS -- now fully restored and remastered in this Enchanted Musical Edition with dazzling new bonus features! Hold on tight for a magical, musical, fun-filled journey! When young Charlie, Carrie and Paul move to a small village during World War II, they discover their host, Miss Price (Angela Lansbury), is an apprentice witch! Although her early attempts at magic create hilarious results, she successfully casts a traveling spell on an ordinary bedknob, and they fly to the fantastic, animated Isle of Naboombu to find a powerful spell that will save England! All-new fun is brewing in this Enchanted Musical Edition, including "The Wizards of Special Effects" feature. Also starring David Tomlinson (MARY POPPINS) and Roddy McDowall, BEDKNOBS AND BROOMSTICKS is a heartwarming adventure your family will love sharing again and again!When a mail-order apprentice witch (Angela Lansbury) is saddled with three sibling refugees from London during World War II, the outlook is grim. But the kids soon discover her secret and sign on for adventure in the name of England. With the aid of a magical bed, they track down her fraudulent headmaster (David Tomlinson) to find the spell that will aid the Allies. Fascinated that she has actually achieved results with his lessons, he joins forces. The quintet does battle with corrupt booksellers, animated-lion royalty, and, eventually, invading Germans. Songs include Lansbury's Oscar-nominated "The Age of Not Believing." This film is often compared to director Robert Stevenson's earlier effort, Mary Poppins, and for good reason. In addition to Tomlinson, the movies share a fondness for magic at the hands of a good woman, light romance with an understanding male, and wide-eyed children. Stevenson also graces both films with interaction between humans and animated animals. Disney is wise to play up that aspect on its box this time around as both the underwater ball and the subsequent island soccer match are the most visually interesting and appealing parts of the film. Adults may find the 1971-vintage mixing of actors and animation a bit creaky, but kids used to a variety of animation quality will find the action a hoot. Ages 4 and up. The movie has been recut several times but was restored to the original length of 139 minutes for its 30th anniversary in 2001. --Kimberly Heinrichs
