Today’s featured company:
DVDs: Escape to Witch Mountain & Return to Witch Mountain
A little more about them:
As the story of Witch Mountain returns to movie theaters this year with the release of Race to Witch Mountain, the original films that launched the Witch Mountain saga, Escape to Witch Mountain and Return to Witch Mountain, are returning to DVD in special new editions from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment.
In Escape to Witch Mountain, first released in 1975, orphaned siblings Tony and Tia Malone (Ike Eisenmann and Kim Richards) discover their paranormal powers and learn the truth about their origin. In the 1978 sequel, Return to Witch Mountain, the Malone children recruit a band of juvenile delinquents to help them battle a pair of criminal masterminds played by Bette Davis and Christopher Lee.
The new Walt Disney Family Classics DVD editions both contain extensive bonus features, including all new Pop-Up Fun Facts, filmmaker commentaries, and more. They will be available in stores on March 10, three days before the theatrical release of Race to Witch Mountain.
I have watched both of these movies with my own kids (ages 8 & 11). I ordered them from Netflix over Christmas Break as a diversion. My motivation was to introduce my kids to some of the movies I loved as a child. My success was that my children LOVE these movies. We’ve returned and re-ordered these movies twice since Christmas. I was fairly excited when I was approached to receive these movies and offer a set to you as well! (Now I won’t have to mess up my Netflix queue!) When I asked my daughter if she wanted to help me review the movies she said, “Here’s my review: AWESOME!”
The Disney live-action films from the 1960s and 1970s have always been some of my favorites: The Ugly Dachshund, Candleshoe, The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, the original Shaggy Dog, and of course, The Witch Mountain Movies. The chance to share these movies with my kids is priceless. Yes, the effects are cheezy, but the storyline is solid–at least as solid as many movies out today.
The movies I received had a code to print free movie tickets for the new Witch Mountain movie, Race to Witch Mountain which opens this Friday, March 13!
Trivia: The actress who plays Tia (Kim Richards) is Paris Hilton’s aunt. Seriously.
Some examples of what they do:
What they’re giving away:

Nothing can ever beat Swiss Family Robinson.
Please add my name to thw contest. These 2 movies are classics.
WHat a great movie..
I love Pollyanna with Hayley Mills.
I kinda like DIsney sci-fi Tron which incorporated both live action and animation at a time (I am thinking) just before the motion picture industry and emerging technology began utilizing computer generated images.
I also recently enjoyed watching 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea with Kirk Douglas (for the first time) on my NetFlix subscription.
My favorite Disney film is The Lion King. Great movie!!
Pollyanna.
My favorite was the original Parent Trap with Haley Mills.
WOULD LIKE TO WIN BOTH GOOD MOVIES.
pollyanna hayley mills is just wonderful thanks for the giveaway
My favorite would have to be Rocketman!!!
101 Dalmations with Glenn Close. Thanks!
Fantasia. Well, it’s kind of live with the conductor and orchestra. The Kid with Bruce Willis. Mary Poppins. 2000 Leagues Under the Sea (also one of my favorite Disney rides). Pirates of the Carribean. Enchanted. Chronicles of Narnia. Annie. The Absent Minded Professor. The Muppet Movie.
HOW CAN I PICK JUST ONE!!! DISNEY IS SO COOL! Now I have to go to Blockbuster…
You always want that which is hard to get, so, Song of the South.
Fun movies.
Definitely “The Parent Trap”–still love that movie!

the black hole
We all loved the Shaggy Dog.
probably these two – they were so magical as a kid – I wanted to grow up and travel in outerspace to distant worlds which I knew we’d be doing by 1985
Parent Trap and The Lion King
Live Action will be The Love Bug. Why do people keep listing the animated movies? Can’t they read the instructions?
It would have to be Swiss Family Robinson. It’s the survival thing. And the tree house, of course.
There was something about these movies… I don’t know what it was, 30 years later — they mesmerized me — I named my barbies after Toni & Tina — they had such an impact on me back then. I’d love to see them again, to relive the movie — and to see what I’ve forgotten… what was so huge to me as a child. Great contest!!
no comment
love to have a crack at it
I grew up watching Disney movies. I loved Escape to Witch Mountain, my other favorite was Bedknobs and Broomsticks (live-action and cartoon.)

I would have to say Swiss Family Robinson; however, a close second would be 20000 Leagues Under the Sea. I bet my kids would love to see these, as would I again. Thanks for the opportunity.
I don’t think that there are any of their movies that I have not liked, and even though it is animated, really enjoy Lady and the Tramp.
I love the Lion King!
I really thought that all of the Herbie movies were cute.
The Disney docudrama “Endurance” on the life of Haile Gebresalaise (the greatest distance runner of the past 100 years and current world record holder in the Marathon -8 years after this film was made)! He even acts as himself in the movie.
I love movies!
wow haven’t seen these in a very long time
THAT DARN CAT
Mary Poppins
THE SOUND OF MUSIC AND MARY POPPINS
I remember these movies from when I was little too! My all time fave Disney live action movie has to be The Parent Trap. I watched it over and over again as a child and probably could quote the whole movie to you. My best friend and I would even pretend to be the twins and act the movie out along with the video when we would watch it together.
Mary Poppins of course because of the soundtrack too.
Feed the birds…Chim Chim Cheree love it!!!!
Lion King… always first in my list
Mary Poppins is my all time favorite. I just love that movie. I’m always finding myself singing those wonderful tunes! Thank you!

The old Parent Trap!
Since I like dogs–it has to be The Shaggy Dog.
I have to say my favorite is Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Angela Lansbury at her finest fighting the Nazis or keeping them away. Just an all around great movie.
I love the TV ad for the new release and can hardly wait to see it.
I’ve always loved the Apple Dumpling Gang. Don Knotts was so funny.

Disney will never go out of style
Pollyanna Haley Mills has always been a favorite for me I got to meet her once and she is the nicest person
My all-time favorite Disney classic is “Mary Poppins”. I loved it as a kid, and my children love it too! Who can deny being mesmerized by the magic between Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke….. their unforgettable music still fills my mind today!
Mary Poppins, hands down. No contest.
I had forgotten about these movies – haven’t seen them in YEARS – would love to share them with my kiddos. Thanks!
Shaggy Dog, The Parent Trap, Mary Poppins, Herby….the list can go on and on!

There are so many that I loved as a kid — the original Parent Trap, the Shaggy Dog, the Apple Dumpling Gang (which I remember my grandmother taking me to see at the theater!) — so many great movies! And I loved the Witch Mountain movies as well and am looking forward to eventually sharing them with my kids.
Love the Apple Dumpling Gang, and The Ugly Dachshund.

kimspam66(at)yahoo(dot)com
Mary Poppins was my favorite but my daughter was just saying how she used to love to watch “Escape to Witch Mountain” when she was a little girl
These are great movies.
would say Swiss Family Robinson
Mary Poppins all the way! Family favorite is also Pinnochio
I loved the Parent Trap growing up and I still do! Though I loved the Apple Dumpling Gang also (I think that was Disney!), and The computer Who Wore Tennis Shoes!
I remember both of these movies and watch them as a kid and loved them. The Disney movie that I’ll watch over and over again is Pollyanna. It had such a great lesson.
My favorite is Mary Poppins! Chim-cheree!
I love the Parent Trap..great movie!
Shaggy Dog. Thx!
I love Darby O’Gill and the Little People. I was shocked watching it recently to discover Sean Connery was in it. As a little kid, I obviously didn’t know who he was.
I Love Disney’s Freaky Friday (1976)
I WANT MY STEP SON TO SEE THIS BEFORE WE GO TO THE MOVIES TO SEE THE ORIGINAL! I KNOW HE’LL LOVE IT!
I used to love the Apple Dumpling gang!
“Swiss Family Robinson”!
One of my older favorite Disney live action movie is The Apple Dumpling Gang. Thanks for a cool giveaway!! :-}
I’m pretty sure this is Disney – when I was a kid I loved Thomasina.
I love to watch the original Parent trap.
My favorite was the original Parent Trap with Haley Mills.
We are all animal lovers and LOVED the Shaggy Dog!!
Witch mountain was my favorite, but I also love Herbie the Love Bug and Mary Poppins. Thanks for the giveaway.
I loved these as kids. I also have the books but I don’t know which came first. My boyfriend and I would love to add these to our collection!
Pete’s Dragon was always one of my favorites.
I loved these as a kid and would love to have them again. If I don’t win I’ll have to order them from Netflix!! Great idea!
the cat from outerspace….
I loved this when I was growing up. They are great classics to share with my little one.
I’d love this set, they’re before my time and I haven’t heard of them until the ‘Rock’ remake came out now.. favorite Diznee live action is ‘Old Yeller’- watched it as a child a few times and was very tear-jerking! Thanks for the entry!
I would have to say my favorite was the original Parent Trap. I still love Hayley Mills!
My most favorite Disney movie is Dumbo!
The first live-action Disney film that came to mind is “The Cat from Outer Space.” Not a great film, but fun. The second one was “That Darn Cat” with Hayley Mills. I saw the Witch Mountain movies when they first came out, and I was shocked to see the trailer for the new movie. It’s a little different, but I’m interested in seeing what they do with the concept.
Mary Poppins is definitely the best in my book!!!! Thanks!
sherri419 at gmail dot com
mary poppins was my favorite.
madamerkf at aol dot com
I couldn’t pick just one, so here a few of my favorites:
Escape to Witch Mountain
The Love Bug
The Cat From Outer Space
Old Yeller
I like all the Disney movies so it is hard to pick one. I think the recent one with Dwayne Johnson (the rock) playing a football who finds out he had a little girl, forgot the title name for a minute-The Game Plan is a great one.
My kids until now have never heard of the witch mountain movies.
There are so many good disney movies such as flubber, the computer who wore tennis shoes. pollyanna. I had to search for weeks to find Darby ogill and the little people, I remember as a child when it came out in a theater and my little brother got scared and cried so loud and hard we had to leave the theater. Thank you for the chance to win.
I love the movie Haunted Mansion!

My favorite is Swiss Family Robinson.
my favorite is “pollyanna” i must of watched over a 100 times as a kid. my daughter loved it when i introduced it to her.
Believe it or not, my favorite live-action film would have to be “Escape to Witch Mountain” – I have very fond memories of watching it over and over on a worn-out VHS tape with my sister as a kid, and it never failed to delight and mesmerize me. Would be thrilled to win a copy of these new editions to share with my nephew, who’s just old enough to begin appreciating the magic of the Witch Mountain movies. Thanks!
gkaufmanss@yahoo.com
“Chronicles of Narnia” was my favorite.
I admit that The Pacifier was one of my favorites!
I always got a kick out of “The Shaggy Dog”!
My fave live-action Disney movie is the original The Parent Trap. Whenever I got sick as a kid, my mom would go rent this movie for me and it always made me feel better for some reason. The Witch Mountain movies were some of my faves also, so I would love to win this. Thanks!
My favorite Disney live-action classic is Mary Poppins although I really like Pete’s Dragon as well. This is a great giveaway and I really hope I win so I can finally see Escape to Witch Mountain & Return from Witch Mountain. I have never seen them before but really want to especially since some of my relatives always say how great the movies are. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
My all-time favorite is Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Thanks for the giveaway!
Would love to win these.
There are so many! The original Shaggy Dog, Swiss Family Robinson, the original Parent Trap, but I have to say that probably my favorite was the original That Darn Cat. I also really liked the Escape to Witch Mountain and Return to Witch Mountain movies. It was so great when they would come on as a Disney special over a weekend was I was growing up. Thank you for the great giveaway.
I love the original Parent Trap.
My all time favorite is The Parent trap.
The Love Bug, Freaky Friday, Flubber
parent trap,chocolate factory,where the red fern grows
I had such a crush on the guy from RTWM! I would love to share this with my kids. Thanks! I love both versions of the Parent Trap. You really can’t go wrong with a Disney family flick!
My favorite was the original Parent Trap with Haley Mills! I still love to catch it even after 40 years
I loved Freaky Friday
Oldies but goodies, I adore Mary Poppins and The ORIGINAL The Parent Trap…However, I’ll admit that I’ve watched the Pacifier about a dozen times…
It’s a tossup between Mary Poppins and the Absent Minded Professor. Maybe the Absent Minded Professor, flubber fascinated me as a kid. Thanks for the nice giveaway!
Bedknobs and Broomsticks was always my favorite.
I love the Lion King. Have seen it in person twice!
The first editions I got them all
Mary Poppins is the best. Thank you!
Please enter me. Thanks!
My favorite is Mary Poppins. I didn’t realize Disney made all the good movies other posters have mentioned. Brought back a lot of good memories… Thanks!
rlgrady[at]yahoo[dot]com
My favorite live-action Disney Movie has to be The Cat from Outer Space. When I was a kid, it was so cool to think that if I could just find an alien cat with a sparkly collar, I too could get spiffy mental powers. Unfortunately, I still haven’t found the cat.
I really like Mary Poppins,and so do my kids
