We kick things off by looking at Disney's pioneering focus on children's movies in the 60s and 70s, and how this has shaped the industry. Remember the heart of the story, the psychic siblings, Tony and Tia? We reflect on their mysterious powers, the star case Tia carries, and Tony's life-saving premonition. Don't forget the obsessive millionaire, Aristotle Bolt. We discuss his paranormal fascination and how it ties into the plot. Our adventure continues as we explore the film's visuals and effects, speculating how they were perceived back in 1975 and considering how they stand the test of time.
Fasten your seatbelts for the final leg of our journey where we ponder the sequel and missed opportunity of a TV show. Will Escape to Witch Mountain continue to captivate the next generation or is it a movie best left in the past? Tune in to hear our verdict.
