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.

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!

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
