Glad you both enjoyed my pick. I watched this many times on VHS growing up, and of course, as a kid, I never questioned the plot. Watching it now, I'd like to think the boardroom pitch for this movie went something like this: -We have a great movie idea: A witch travels on a magical bed in search of a spell to fight the Nazis... and we'll throw in an animated animal soccer game. - No, that's crazy. Who could even pull off a role like that? - Angela Lansbury will play the lead. - Go make that movie! 😅

This was a childhood favorite that I wore out a copied-off-TV VHS of, but I haven't watched since I was... maybe 8? Thanks for the opportunity to revisit a deep cut from my childhood through adult eyes :)

This brought back memories. It was one of my favorites growing up and my sister and I watched it many times and played out driving the Nazis away with magic lol

Oh, mannnn! I remember watching this with my grandparents. 🥹 Great memories. Thank you for picking it!

Miss Price was way out of Emelius's league...as was his wife in Mary Poppins. He must have been blackmailing a witch IRL.

“What’s that gotta do with my knob?” Is such an underrated funny line 😂😂

What a wild ride! I think I saw this once when I was little, but I only really recognized the tune where they dance underwater and maybe one or two other snippets. This is easily three or four different movies in one - but it still works. It's nuts, but it works :) And yeah, trying to sum up the plot sounds crazy. Like, "Three children blackmail their caretaker into taking them on adventures via flying bed," or "Mr. Banks turns himself into a rabbit to save a witch from the Nazis." Absolutely unhinged. I love it.

My siblings and I watched this so many times as kids and I’m amazed by how many of the songs I can still remember. So fun to watch it again!

I honestly don't even know if that was intended as a joke, I mean this was a 1971 Disney movie and it was a little kid saying that line...

🎶Sub.stitu.tiary Lo-co-motion🎶 Finally. I've got All Time Low's Calm Down song out of my head! Thx, Lydia! Fun reaction, you guys.

This was the second movie I ever saw in the theater (the first was "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory"). At five years old, I understood very little of the dialogue because of the accents, but I loved the flying bed. We had already had a few years of "Bewitched" on tv, so I grew up believing that witches were very real, kind, but secretive.

We really enjoyed it too! I tried explaining this movie to some friends this weekend and I couldn't find a way to do it with avoiding spoilers!
