Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Angela Lansbury plays a good witch who uses her powers against the Nazis in World War II and is aided by three children in the effort. This 1971 movie directed by Disney stalwart Robert Stevenson (Mary Poppins) was never up to the studio's best efforts--the music isn't all that good and the idea just doesn't quite catch on. But Lansbury, David Tomlinson and the late Roddy McDowall are good and there are some clever sequences blending animation and live action, most memorably a soccer game between the kids and some cartoon animals. --Tom Keogh

- Bad Influence
What looked like fun actually ends up making witch craft look ok for kids. It quite simply is not.

- A Collector DVD for Sure
This is one of those dvds you can get out any time of year over and over again and it still appeals. Who would have thought combining a witch, a doctor and WWII would create such wonder.

The characters created by Angela Lansbury (Miss Price the good witch) and David Thomlinson (Dr Amelius Brown)are wonderful and the combination of settings, singing, dancing and animation are very well balanced. Our whole family love this film.

- Lovely, one of their finest live action films!
Disney's Bedknobs and Broomsticks is probably one of the greatest films to ever come out of the studio. It is often compared to Mary Poppins and criticized for their similarities, but I however feel that Bedknobs and Broomsticks is an improvement over Mary Poppins, even when Mary Poppins had little to improve. The main reason for Bedknobs and Broomsticks' criticism is due to having been made in the period after Walt Disney's death, in which all of their films were criticized, even when they were superior to many Walt Disney era films such as the weak 101 Dalmatians (1961), The Sword in the Stone (1963) or The Jungle Book (1967). Bedknobs and Broomsticks is yet another Disney '70s jewel in the lights of The Rescuers (1977) or Pete's Dragon (1977). ... Read More:

- great fun.
A childrens film it may have been created , but maturity over the years has developed it into a multi aged morsel. Good , NO - superb acting by Lansbury and Tomlinson ; a decent and believeable storyline ; excellent special effects ( especially for the year ) and very passable music ,make this an essential for anyones DVD library. Special points : Lansbury's singing ( I am suprised she has not ventured into the the field as a female Bing Crosby) ; cameos from Bruce Forsyth and Tessie O'shea ; a very amusing and entertaining finale and , of course the soccer match.
Highly recommended !!!

Rating:

- Great film for all the family
Bedknobs and Broomsticks is an excellent film, often unfairly overlooked.
The plot is entertaining and solid (within its own world of magic and etc.), with some lovely musical numbers and great special effects (at least when considering its production date).

Good fun all-round, and one of my favourite Disney films, Bedknobs and Broomsticks is a must for any family - young or old - and I urge anyone considering buying it to do so!
