If you’ve never heard of this Disney movie before, don’t worry. If you ask your parents about Escape to Witch Mountain, they’ll probably remember watching the film when they were kids.

Now’s your chance to see this classic Walt Disney movie in a new special edition DVD. Escape to Witch Mountain is the story of Tony and Tia Malone – two young orphans who have amazing psychic powers. An evil millionaire named Aristotle Bolt wants to use the kids’ powers so he lures them to his mansion on the mountain.


When Tony and Tia figure out they’ve been tricked, they try to escape the clutches of the evil Aristotle and meet a friendly camper named Eddie Albert who begins to help them unravel the mystery of how they obtained their powers in the first place.


Soon, the three friends are fleeing townspeople who believe the children are witches and want to banish them. But just as they think they are doomed, something amazing happens. Someone with even greater powers takes over and leads the trio into a dazzling and unexpected experience – one that’s truly out of this world!


While the effects are low-tech and no longer special (remember, this movie was made in 1975!), Escape to With Mountain still has plenty of old-school Disney appeal. If you like Harry Potter, then you’ll appreciate the powers Tony and Tia have that seem kind of parallel to the famous boy wizard. Check it out on DVD!
