Can't believe I haven't reviewed this before! One of my favourite live action Disney movies of all time. Love the music, the characters and the concept of the storyline. Beautifully told.
Eglantine and Emelius are one of the greatest, sweetest love stories and we don’t talk about it enough :two_hearts:
My love of this film has probably been greatly magnified by the lens of nostalgia but it really is incredible.
“Traguna, Mekoides, Trecorum, Satis dee.” The Disney classic Bedknobs and Broomsticks is a whimsical adventure. The film has a fairly good cast, which includes Angela Lansbury, David Tomlinson, and Roddy McDowall, and features several fun musical numbers. Based on a children’s book, the story follows an aspiring witch who’s studying witchcraft in order to help with England’s war effort during World War II. There’s a bit of an odd tone to the film, with the mixing of World War II elements and fantasy, and the combining of animation with live-action also seems rather out of place. Yet while it has its shortcoming, Bedknobs and Broomsticks still has that Disney magic.
Loved it as a kid, still so. Better than Mary Poppins imho.
A great movie made at a time when Disney and Hollywood was actually supportive of the free Western civilization. My how they have fallen since :frowning2:.
I've never got round to watching this film before. It's one of the Disney films I was never shown when I was younger so have no nostalgic attachment to it. I expected more animation but to be honest, I think there was just the right amount as it was verging on cloning Mary Poppins in my mind. I found it derivative of MP and so I found it hard to enjoy as a whole however I did find the story quite sweet and the children's voices just made it for me.
