Hi y'all and sorry for the delay! It seems like forever since we watched a girls night movie because the holidays. Well now we are back to watching and this last week's movie was bedknobs and broomsticks! This movie debuted in 1971 and featured a younger Angela Lansbury, which for those who don't recognize the name, she was the TV series star of Murder She Wrote. This a is a fun filled British movie (I mention British because it used a lot of British terms we didn't quite understand) that stars Lansbury as a witch in the making. She's under the impression she is enrolled in a witches school where she receives lessons in the mail to complete.
The story takes place during the WWII, which is why three children find themselves staying with Miss Price (Lansbury). Sound familiar? The movie reminded me of Harry Potter meets chronicles of Narnia at this point. As this was my first time seeing the movie, I don't want to give too much away to those who haven't seen it, but the movie focuses on Miss Price trying to learn the last lesson of "substitutiary locomotion" to help in the war effort. Miss Price, the children and Emelius Browne (the headmaster of the witches school) embark on an adventure set out to find the spell.
The movie features early Disney animation mixed with real life acting, much like the famous Mary Poppins. And of course, the feature has some fun song along songs (what Disney movie doesn't?). So if you ask me, embark on the flying bed (yes I said bed) and using the traveling spell and search for the spell to help end the war on this Disney adventure.
