Summary: Disney Studios comes to their senses - Read all about it!
Review: Thank you Disney Studios for listening to your fans (hopefully). This movie has a handful of extra goodies and is in its Original Widescreen Aspect Ratio (1.75:1). You've got this customer back, at least for this one!

Summary: One Of Disney's best non-animated movies!
Review: The original Escape To Witch Mountain (1975) is one of my favorite non-animated Disney movies and also one of my favorite movies about children with magical powers, the other one being Matilda but I think I like this a little bit more. It is about a brother and sister named Tony and Tia played by Ike Eisenmann and Kim Richards who go to live in an orphanage after their adoptive parents die. Tony and Tia have special powers and after a creepy guy discovers their secret he pretends to be their uncle and takes them to live with his boss who is an even bigger creep who wants to use them for his evil plans but they escape with their adorable cat Winky and befriend a grouchy but lonely man named Jason O'Day who helps them get away from the creeps but a big chase ensues and Jason helps them learn the truth about who they are and why they have special powers. Kim Richards, Ike Eisenmann and Eddie Albert are all wonderful and I highly recommend this movie to anyone who likes Disney movies and movies about kids with special powers. Kim Richard's sister Kyle Richards (Alicia Edwards on Little House on The Prairie) has a small don't blink or you will miss me roll as a 3 year old Tia when she and Tony were rescued from the water after the accident at sea. This movie is a gem and I wish that Disney would put it out On DVD!!

Summary: Disney wants your money but refuses to provide
Review: This DVD isn't even out yet but I can still tell you that it won't be worth buying. Hello?! Disney people?! Why don't you get a clue and quit re-releasing movies on DVD if there's not going to be anything else on it but the movie itself. Usually when people buy an old movie on DVD it's because they already own it on VHS but would like to see it digitally re-mastered in the original wide screen format. Not to mention that they would also like to see all the extra features and bonuses that are usually included on a DVD. The only extra feature you'll get with this DVD is watching your fingernails get ripped apart while opening the keep case. If you own the VHS, keep it. If you don't, buy it. But what ever you do, don't waste your money on these poor quality DVDs slapped together by Disney. If the Disney company wants your money, make them earn it!

Summary: A movie for everyone, lot's of fun to watch!
Review: This is a great little story about...well I'm not going to tell you, I much rather see you buy it and watch it for yourself. It is a great film, and old disney classic, this is what movie's are all about, it has special effects that were considered impossible back them, but they pulled them off, no fancy computers of CGI and all that stuff, just good ol' fashion moviemaking at it's finest. I treasure this film and it is one of my favorite Disney movies. I miss films like this! Great great family film and very entertaining to watch, kids adore it!

Summary: Excellent
Review: This is one of my all-time favorite movies. I remember when it came out in theatres, and I had already read the book 15 times! Granted, if Disney had stayed true to the book version, it would have been much better,but I still loved the movie very much. I wish Disney would do a book-accurate remake, using today's special effects, etc. The TV remakes were a little disappointing. This movie is and always will be a favorite.

Summary: I wished it were possible to give it zero stars......
Review: This movie should never have been made by Disney, and if they had they should have gotten Mr.Key to write the script. Then it would have been faithful to the real storyline from the book,and not the hatchet job that Disney did with an excellent book

Summary: Wish it was on DVD
Review: This was a wonderful movie that I vividly remember watching with my brother when we were kids. I am now a parent and would like for my two children to experience these wonderful magical movies that only Disney can produce. Unfortunately it is not out on DVD - I wish Disney would put more of these "old" classics out
for the "now" generation to enjoy!

Summary: I liked the movie!
Review: Tia and Tony are nice twins and they have very special powers.I thought that it was really cool how they could do things like unlock doors that are locked outside when they didn't have the key. There were these really fast dogs and they ran faster and they were just jogging. I liked the rooms they got, but I hate that bad man who gave them the rooms. He was trying to steal their powers, but they didn't want him to, so they used their powers to run away to find their uncle.

Summary: Classic Disney
Review: When I first saw this movie in the theatre as a child in 1975, I was captivated by its magic. Who wouldn't want to be a kid with the ability to fly, unlock doors, levitate things, and teach bullies a lesson? Now, having recently revisited Witch Mountain on video, the movie still brings back pleasant, familiar emotions -- and as an adult, I find new dimensions to this Disney classic. While kids will appreciate the fantasy/mystery aspect, it also teaches practical values: honesty, integrity, and being true to oneself (among others). This is a perfect family film, and features remarkable performances by Eddie Albert as a grumpy old man whose icy heart is melted by the two young orphans, and Ray Milland who, as always, is a perfectly charming (if scary) villain. It's a shame, though, that the two young stars (Ike Eisenmann and Kim Richards) pretty much disappeared after this film and its sequel; their careers apparently never much got off the ground (although Eisenmann did make a cameo appearance in "Star Trek: Wrath of Khan"), which is a shame because they are both quite talented actors.
