Bedknobs and Broomsticks is one of those movies that I forgot that I love. I saw this movie when I was a child (it actually came out before I was even born!) and I loved how the real live people interacted with the cartoons. I really thought it was amazing as a child, and while special effects have come a long way, it was something to behold back when I first saw it.

I had also forgotten how much I love Angela Landsbury (I barely remember her as anyone but Jessica Fletcher from Murder She Wrote) and she truely shines in this movie.

My favorite part of the video was probably the extras. I loved "The Wizard of Special effects" (and made a note to check out the show Wizards of Waverly Place) and especially loved the deleted song.

All children of the 1970's should share this movie with their kids!
