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

An Academy Award (R)

a spellbinding mix of live action and animation that makes it
one of Disney's most delightfully endearing Classics!
Screen legend Angela
Lansbury gives a bewitching performance as an amateur witch who
reluctantly takes in three precocious orphans. The children soon
find themselves swept aboard a flying bed, its magic brass bedknob
their ticket to one fantastic adventure after another - including
a visit to an enchanted island inhabitated by wondrous animated
animal characters and the most hilarious soccer match in motion
picture history!
