One of the funniest Disney movies from the 1970s
24 December 2017
This was one of my favourite not-animated Disney movies that I saw on Sunday afternoons back in the 2000s, and last Friday I saw it again, inevitably bringing back so many memories.

First I must talk about the plot: two children (named Tony and Tia) with special mind powers are lured by a mega-maniacal millionaire that traps them in his mansion and wants to use them for money, but after Tony discovers the evil plan, he and Tia escape, but not until they end in a police station and with their mind powers distract the police guardian and find the company of a crusty old man that helps them return where this children call ''home''.

The two children are played by Ike Eisenmann and Kim Richards, that would co-star in the sequel ''Return From Witch Mountain'', along with Denver Pyle as their uncle. Ray Milland and Donald Pleasence are magnificent as the two villains, and the always good Eddie Albert as Jason O'Day, the old man that helps the two boys returning home.

This movie had one sequel, ''Return from Witch Mountain'' (1978), with Bette Davis and Christopher Lee as the villains, and it's pretty much similar to this one. I recommend both this and the sequel because they are both funny and enjoyable for everyone!
