BEDKNOBS AND BROOMSTICKS (HDNET)

Bedknobs and Broomsticks is a classic 1971 film about three children who are sent from London to the country side during the war. They end up in the care of the adoring Ms. Price, who just happens to be a level one apprentice witch in training. Together Ms. Price and the children travel to magical lands with the help of a flying bed and an enchanted bedknob. I thought this movie was fantastic. I remember watching this film at a younger age and it provided great entertainment for our latest family movie night. I think it's really cool how they mixed live action with cartoons in some of the scenes on the magical island to create a fun whimsical effect. My favorite character is Ms. Price played by the lovely Angela Lansbury because she is a very strong leading lady and a wonderful addition to the children's lives. My favorite scene is when they visit the ocean floor beneath the magical island because that is the scene that I remember most when I look back at my memories of this film. I also really enjoyed the scene when everyone sings Portabella Road because all the dancing becomes quite comical. I give Bedknobs and Broomsticks 4 out of 5 stars because it is a great film for family movie night. Raven Devanney, age 14, KIDS FIRST! Film Critic.
