Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

BEDKNOBS AND BROOMSTICKS is a lively children's film that goes out of its way to recapture the magic of MARY POPPINS and does so in a semi-successful way. David Tomlinson is back, this time playing a street magician who gets involved in an adventure with a kindly witch and a couple of kids as they search for magic spell ingredients. The main problem I have with this film is that there are way too many ingredients which makes for a confused viewing experienced. There's a Nazi threat, magical adventures through animated worlds, ample comedy, human villains straight out of Dickens, and more hustle and bustle than you can shake a stick at. The good news is that Angela Lansbury is a solid lead and much better than Julie Andrews and there's enough colour and life to ensure that this is never dull, even if it does feel rather shallow and superficial and episodic in nature.

Bedknobs and Broomsticks is an absolute must see for kids. Parents should have this one way up on their list of movies to watch with their children as a family. It is one of the earliest examples of live action and animation coexisting in the same film, besides Mary Poppins. Angela Lansbury (Murder She Wrote) stars as a witch, a good one obviously, ends up taking an adventure with two children on her magical bed which transports you to far away places. The characters are very likable and they make you care more about the story. The special effects are good for 1971, you can't ask for too terribly much because of the time period. The writing is fun and well written. The action/adventure is plentiful and keeps you engaged in what's going on. The main reason I say that families and children need to watch this is because this isn't just a simple family movie, it's got a little bit of everything. And the movie takes you through so many places, it's just gold for a family movie night! 8/10.

Bedknobs and Broomsticks was a film of its time. Yes, war is a strong feature - but there are covert references to war and violence in a lot of children's films - Mulan? For me, this is an ideal children's film - there is such a sense of escapism involved, whilst at the same time there is no attempt made to conceal that bad things do happen in life.The moral of this story, in my opinion, is that in the face of adversity there is always hope, and in hope there is strength to face the enemy. Whatever form that enemy might take - kids have far superior imaginations than adults and I don't believe that they would take a negative message from a film like this.

Perhaps Disney was hoping for another Mary Poppins but this is a very different story and while Angela is delightful she was a very different performer to the great Julie Andrews. Having said that Lansbury is perfectly cast and delivers a magical performance. There is something deliciously dotty about her character and she is given wonderful support by David Tomlinson. Tomilinson can carry a tune but he is certainly not much chop as a singer. It does not matter he was such a gifted actor you hardly notice. There are some great cameos from much loved stars of another time like Roddy McDowel who gives a winning performance and the much loved Tessie OShea who does very little but its nice to see the old gal again. Its also lovely to see Sam Jaffe and the king of English television Bruce Forsythe in small roles. The score has a couple of beautiful songs especially The briny sea and The age of Not Believing. The big number Portabello Road is stretched to the limit but it has plenty of theatricality. The effects look a bit cliché today but the scene with the German invaders being attacked by the wildest army in film is pretty impressive. The kids are not as annoying as other movies but one does struggle to understand what the youngest boy is saying. I loved the marching song of the home army. The home guard were very important to Britain and this is a warm tribute. The animation is delightful, much better than Pixar which I find grotesque. A warm happy film and its a wonder its not done on stage.
