I highly recommend to check CAPTURE THE FLAG

[@sweeney60]

It was cut from the final film, but the kids are orphans and shortly before leaving London their aunt who was raising them was killed by a bombing. I hate that it was cut cause it explains so much about the kids and their characters.

[@DanGamingFan2406]

This movie is such an underrated gem. I love the songs, the animated segments, and Angela Lansbury was phenomenal. R.I.P. to a master actress.

[@osmanyousif7849]

Don't forget David Tomlinson as Emilius Brown. Amazing how went from playing a strict but empathetic father in Mary Poppins, to an entertaining con man who unintentionally causes magic to happen. If I was to choose between which character had a better arc, I'd probably go with Emilius Brown.

[@OmegaS-117]

I completely agree with you I still rewatch this movie to this day

[@patrioticjustice9040]

Whose ever idea it was to have medieval knights do battle with 1940's German Wehrmacht, I just want to shake them by the hand for such genius.

[@supersasukemaniac]

It was perfect it was also a great way to go ham,but still have no bloodshed.

[@egala005]

Such a badass ending imo

[@muppetsstoogesfan1]

Fun Fact! The song Beautiful Briny Sea was originally written for Mary Poppins but didn't make it into the film. There's a wonderful deleted song from Bedknobs called Step In The Right Direction that is amazing.

[@oliverbrownlow5615]

"A Step in the Right Direction" is the tune playing under the initial broomstick flying sequence, and it was intended to be sung by Lansbury during that scene.

[@osmanyousif7849]

The irony is the fact that this movie has the same director, writers, and songwriters like Mary Poppins....

[@oliverbrownlow5615]

@@osmanyousif7849 Indeed. It may be regarded as Disney's first attempt to produce a "sequel" to *Mary Poppins.*

[@CezzL]

This films means so much to me ❤ When I was a kid, my grandparents only had 3 films in their house - Willow, Pete's Dragon, and this - so, now as an adult with my grandparents gone, I automatically associate those films with the amazing childhood memories spent with them 🥰

[@steffurness]

My parents recorded Pete's Dragon on VHS for me when it aired on TV once - it was one of my favorites too!

[@bealornobeal5538]

Omg literally same! My grandma didn’t even watch movies. She bought those for us and had one vhs of a bible story

[@arifeannor9573]

The knights fighting nazis is the best part of the movie for me.

[@a.g.demada5263]

True but I prefer the song " Portobelo Road "

[@randysmith7045]

agree. mine too

[@RaptorNX01]

same.

[@knowledge-girl]

It's my favorite part of the movie, it always makes me grin.

[@cliffchristie5865]

The impressive "old looking" establishing shot of the village is actually about 90% matte painting, with only the central section with the car filmed in live action. The Major General leading the home guard is played by Reginald Owen who also played Admiral Boom in "Mary Poppins". His film career began in 1911 and ended with this movie. The cast also includes other ex-pat Britons who made homes and careers in America: Tessie O'Shea, Cyril Delevanti and Arthur Malet (also both in Mary Poppins" ) and Roddy McDowall.

[@oliverbrownlow5615]

Reginald Owen was also famously Ebenezer Scrooge in the 1938 MGM movie version of *A Christmas Carol.*

[@KERRYPIKE]

Angela Lansbury will always be remembered forever. And the bedknobs and broomsticks is a great classic movie, and very great music as well.

[@marcusfridh8489]

Treguna mikoides tricorum satus dee Fun fact, the title scroll is sn alludation to the bayoux tapestry that desribes the norman conquest of 1066.

[@franciscogarza2304]

Fun Fact, Julie Andrew's who played Mary Poppins was considered for the role of Miss Eglantine Prince, Andrew's was initially offered for the part, but was hesitated that the producer later contacted with Angela Lansbury who signed onto the role on Halloween 1969 Shortly after, Andrew's contracted with the producer again only to learn that Lansbury had been cast.

[@oliverbrownlow5615]

Less well-known is the fact that the studio originally wanted Ron Moody to play Mr. Browne. He was agreeable, but fresh from his great success as Fagin in *Oliver!* (1968), he thought he deserved top billing, which the studio could not offer him, having already promised it to Angela Lansbury.

[@franciscogarza2304]

@@oliverbrownlow5615 Peter Ustinov was also considered for the role of Mr. Browne.

[@osmanyousif7849]

If I'm being honest, Andrews made the right choice as this probably would've led to her being typecasted in Disney Magical character roles....

[@jamesmoyner7499]

​@@osmanyousif7849 Well after doing Poppins and Sound of Music she was offered the role of Truly Scrumptious in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, but didn't want to be typecasted and I am rather glad she didn't take either role. If you haven't seen them I recommend watching some of her films outside of those for a family audience like: Americanization of Emily, Thoroughly Modern Millie, S.O.B, And Victor Victoria,

[@SpacialRend7]

It’s been a minute since I’ve seen this film the first time. It was nice seeing another movie that starred Angela Lansbury other than Beauty and the Beast for a change (may she Rest In Peace). And also seeing animated sequences with the live actors was fun too.🙂

[@bookaddict9591]

I've loved this movie since i was a kid, genuinely thought i could fly my bed for while 😂 so glad your reacting to it 😊 thankyou

[@jamesmoyner7499]

I have had quite a few dreams over the years of being able to do the Substutiary Locomotion spell.

[@osmanyousif7849]

Fun fact: The voice actor for Mr Codfish also voices the Lorax and Once-ler and Homer Zuckerman in Charlotte's Web. King Leonidas the Lion is vioced by the same guy who voices Scrappy-Doo. And the actor for the Fishing Bear does the voice for the dogs in Lady & the Tramp and 101 Dalmations.

[@Treysor101]

Very impressed you picked this one. Not many choose to watch it nowadays, much less react, so Kudos. 😊

[@nudgificator]

You were right, that is indeed the dad from Mary Poppins as Professor Browne. A stage adaptation of this film toured the UK a couple of years ago and it was brilliant. They used puppets for the animals (bit like the way they do Timon in the Lion King) and had a bed that flew on stage.

[@sasamichan]

There was a time when every Disney movie had animals in it. Not shore if they still do that. Also the Knight Army is the BEST part! I think if I rebooted it I would add Dinosaurs and other exhibits .

[@DarkComputerGirl]

Also Angela Lansbury is fantastic. ESPECIALLY in Murder, She Wrote. ❤

[@dulcimerrafi]

This was one of my favorites growing up. I realized a few years ago, however, that I must have grown up watching the now out-of-print abridged cut of this movie (my parents recorded it off of TV). I'm glad you reacted to this movie.

[@RaptorNX01]

the extended cut of the film had been lost until the 2000s or so. that when they had found the original print. but i don't think this was that version. as that one had an additional scene with the priest, which had to be redubbed as the audio for it was lost.

[@dulcimerrafi]

@@RaptorNX01 I’ve seen that cut, too. I have it on DVD, since that’s the only way to watch it now. While not all of the restored footage works to improve the movie, I appreciate that some characters are more fleshed out and the inclusion of that one subplot that you mentioned is better explained, if not exactly justified. Additionally, the editing is smoother during some scenes since there are fewer cuts.

[@tk42hamstermon]

I grew up with the VHS copy. The VHS did not include the song “with a flair”, which was when Professor Brown was first introduced, the extended cut of the song when Professor Brown and Miss Price were in the library, as well as the extended Portobello Road sequence (which other than the finale battle is one my favorite parts)

[@a.t.m873]

I love thus movie as much as Marry Poppins. RIP Angela Landsbury.

[@supersasukemaniac]

I always thought the voice of Mrs. Potts was familiar ,but I never knew how.

[@jessicaable5095]

Ah! My childhood! What I love about this movie is that it's a kid's film where the main protagonists aren't really the kids. It's the older folks who aren't afraid to try something new later in life and we get to see a lovely romance blossoming. I might sound rather patronising to any of the older crowd, but it's nice to be reminded as a kid that adventure doesn't have an age limit.

[@ninacasso7900]

I highly recommend Chitty chitty bang bang✨✨✨✨ Also another good movie🤩

[@jamesmoyner7499]

I am glad you enjoyed my third request and hope you will like the Muppets when you get to them. So first I would like to say yes that was the father from Mary Poppins as the lead male Professor Browne, Eglantine was Angela Lansbury who was Miss Potts in Beauty and the Beast among many other roles, The reason during the soccer game the "medic" birds were disappointed each time they were told to turn away is because they thought they would have a meal as they are vultures and thought he was done for, One of the biggesr points of interest is the version watched is actually a shortened version as the film originally was over 130 minutes long and among the things cut were a song Miss Price sings when flying for the first time, Mr Browne had a song called With a Flair, A longer version the song Eglantine, There were more conversation scenes that were taken out, and then in the late 90’s Disney did a restoration of the film to put back as much as possible and in the case where scenes were missing the audio they had actors come back to redub their lines and in the case they couldn't or were too old or dead then someone else dubbed their lines in and you hear a difference and the only scene they couldn’t find the fottsge for was Miss Price's flying song A Step in the Right Direction which the insturmental can be heard of during the scene and in the overture, The film had a couple Oscar nominations including Best Original Song for Age of Not Believing losing to the theme from Shaft, but did win for Best Visual Effects,

[@labyfan1313]

This was one of my favourite movies as a child (along with Escape to Witch Mountain). I liked it better than Mary Poppins. I always get Portabello Road, Bobbing Along, and Substitutiary Locomotion songs stuck in my head after. I loved the mystery of the book and when the Bookman tells the story about the Island run by animals, it always gives me a chill. And the Lion and the whole soccer match sequence is so funny. My sister and I quote from this movie to this day. "Eh Birrrdeee" and the Bird gasping trying to tell the King the Star was gone. lol Funny I never even thought of this movie as a "witch" movie. I don't feel like the centre of this movie is her trying to be a witch but more about the spells left by a Wizard which they need for the war. I feel like the bigger components of this story is the War and mystery of the book. And as a kid I thought the fighting scene and the end was hilarious. Still so glad you reviewed this movie. Hoping you get to my all time favourite Escape to Witch Mountain.

[@promisemochi]

one of my most favorite movies of all time. it's so underrated but it's up there with mary poppins and chitty chitty bang bang for me. thank you so much for doing this one. idk why but it's making me emotional all of a sudden. almost no one talks about this movie, it hardly gets reactions. and maybe it won't bring in the same number of views as other more popular films. but you doing this one and bringing it to light and giving it a chance just is making me very, very happy. thank you for this

[@CanadaDragon1]

14:16, Yes. That is David Tomlinson. He played Mr. Banks in "Mary Poppins". Also, when this film came out, alot of people quite obviously compared it to "Mary Poppins" considering how similar the 2 films are. Another fact is that the "Beautiful Briny Sea" song was originally supposed to be in "Mary Poppins", but the film crew decided to cut it, and it was later used for this film instead.

[@midnightlupus1262]

My brother and I grew up watching this film and we always found the final battle hilarious XD I think perhaps if you watched this when you were younger you might have gotten more enjoyment from the slapstick in the last scenes as it's aimed more towards children in that regard. Incidentally, if you've never seen The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe, that movie also begins with children taking refuge from the Blitz by moving out into the country, which is where they start their adventure. It was a program instituted by Britain to try and protect the younger generations from the War.

[@broadwaybrook2319]

It's funny because I once went to a flea market and because it gave me vibes of Portobello Road, I started singing that song. Afterwards, my family and I learned that the flea market was actually on a street called Portobelo Road.

[@monsterhanna6691]

Whoa, that's so cool! 😍

[@Ofbricks]

17:55 - I think the reason she has such an fierce motivation to get what she needs is because she's trying to aid the war effort with what she's trying to learn. The movie does a great job of flushing out this issue in more detail but leaves it just vague enough to keep you guessing somewhat as to her motivations and why she's so fiercely zeroed in on this pursuit.

[@monsterhanna6691]

That's a really good point. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the war is kind of a big deal. 😂

[@slashermaster28]

Apparently, when this came out, it was seen as nothing more than a poor Mary Poppins clone, but honestly, it's a lot of fun.

[@timothyjordan86]

There is a directors cut version that was released on DVD some years ago... It is a COMPLETELY different movie despite only being 30 minutes longer. The plot revolves much more around the War and the loss of family in the conflict... It's much heavier. It makes since why Disney ended up playing the animated talking animal sequences more in the end cut. Thanks for watching this. It's a movie that shouldn't be forgotten.

[@dryfesands1367]

It might be a sentimental British perspective, but that long slow pan, across the moonlit battle field where all the ghostly soldiers of the past are lined up to oppose Nazism while the music swells . . . May just be the greatest shot in Children's Cinema. It raises the hair on your neck.

[@MollanPollzan]

Wow, i swear this movie feels like a fever dream 😂 I was just a child when i saw it on VHS 🥰

[@chel-van-hel3970]

I loved the knights fighting nazis and all the songs, especially the underwater one. RIP Angela Lansbury ❤️

[@ericjanssen394]

Accdg. to Richard Sherman, in the original script, on the island, when Emelius says "I'm an entertainer, perhaps I can cheer up the King", they were going to put on a music-hall show as a distraction to steal the amulet: Emelius would do bad magic, the boys would do bad comedy, and Eglantine would steal the show with a music-hall song. BUT, Jungle Book was still coin of the realm at 70's Disney, and Ron Miller wanted to go with the wacky Robin Hood-like cartoon-animal soccer game instead.

[@Oddballkane]

Those older men at the start were known as the home guard. The idea is that if an invasion ever did occur, we had experienced people to make sure we'd be ok.

Mary Norton wrote the book this movie was inspired by. She also wrote a series called The Borrowers. The Borrowers was made into a movie in 1997 which had Slughorn playing Draco Malfoy's father while Arthur Weasley tried to kill them. The Borrowers was also made into a Studio Ghibli movie called Arrietty.

[@brianpacker6523]

I don’t know if you can still find it but there is a version of this movie with a lot of scenes that were cut put back in I have it on dvd but it’s not the version on Disney plus i prefer the longer version but both are enjoyable.

[@tommymash9020]

Yes, Disney cut this down to remove most songs from the movie. Why? Run time issues if i remember correctly. But to me, the musical version is all I’ll watch!

[@davidpumpkinsjr.5108]

A few years back, I was at the Magic Kingdom, at a pin kiosk and saw a character pin for King Leonidas' Secretary Bird from this movie. I was surprised to see such an obscure character featured on a pin. When I spoke to the woman running the kiosk, she was unfamiliar with this movie, so I gave her a broad-strokes summary of the film and she said, "How have I never heard of this? I've got to see this movie."

[@reverts3031]

This movie was in line for production if Mary Poppins had been cancelled. Since Mary Poppins was made, this film was put on the backburner until the early 1970s. When this first came out, it was determined to be too long of a film. Several minutes were cut out, so you might find two versions available. I loved this film as a kid. When Disney On Ice was traveling across the country, this movie was the theme - I remember seeing ice skaters dancing to "The Beautiful Briny Sea".

[@monsterhanna6691]

That's amazing! 😍😍😍

[@ARCtheCartoonMaster]

3:04 Worth noting is that this song was placed on the same track as the overture on the film's soundtrack, so I'm *guessing* it was meant to go *right* at the start of the movie, similar to a Broadway musical or a Gilbert & Sullivan opera, but had to be changed due to rewrites. Also, fun fact: the actor playing the colonel is the same guy who played Admiral Boom in _Mary Poppins._ I must say, it's kinda funny to see him play a more serious military figure.

[@davidnorman4786]

[@DarkComputerGirl]

Honestly, it came out around the same time as Mary Poppins. The concept came before Mary Poppins' concept, but they put a lot of effort into Mary Poppins and then kinda rushed finishing up Bedknobs and Broomsticks. I mostly like this movie because "Age of Not Believing" is such an AMAZINGLY underrated song, AND because tbh you HAVE to admit that a witch fighting Nazis is kinda awesome. I do agree that the ending felt kinda rushed though.

[@HumbleWooper]

This was one of my favorite movies growing up! Glad to see you enjoyed it too! Also the part about kids being evacuated from London because of bombings is based on real history from World War II. Lots of kids got sent out of the city to stay with literally anybody in more rural areas who was willing to take them in. Sometimes family or friends, sometimes kind strangers like in this movie. Their dads were mostly drafted to the military, and their moms mostly either worked jobs that men had been drafted out of, or helped with military supply or medical stuff.

It was also shown in Return to Neverland.

A little bit of "With a Flair" remains in the movie (you can hear David Tomlinson talking through part of a verse at 13:55), but you're right, of course, that the full number is not there, and not really sung, to the movie's detriment.

[@saucygibbon56]

I didn't see this film til I was a little older in the late nineties. As a Brit seeing Bruce Foresyth as the spiv that threatens them with the knife was very jarring. he was Mr. Saturday night for several decades at that point and carried on for another decade or so before he finally retired. As far as I was concerned and I think most of the country he was not an actor that played villains but a friendly TV host.

[@tacksgmvs2070]

I’m not sure if you’ve reacted to it or not, and I’m not sure if anyone has ever requested it, but I would highly recommend watching Kiki’s Delivery Service. It’s an animated movie which is about a witch, and as far as movies about goes I think that one is probably one of the better ones in my opinion.
