Customer Reviews of Return from Witch Mountain (Special Edition)

The First Movie is Better but This Isn't a stinker!
While I agree that Return from Witch Mountain is not as good as Escape to Witch Mountain I disagree that it's a stinker. I have very fond memories of seeing Escape to Witch Mountain (1975) in a movie theater with my friends when I was about 10 years old and I absolutely loved that movie. Return from Witch Mountain came to the theaters in 1978 when I was about 13 years old but I didn't see it til it was shown on HBO and the movie was good but I just didn't like it as much as I liked Escape to Witch Mountain. I still like the actors though, Kim Richards and Ike Eisenmann have always been two of my favorite child actors and it was nice to see them again playing Tia and Tony and I recommend this movie because even though I think Escape to Witch Mountain is better this is good too.

Thank you Disney!
As someone who works to historically preserve music, I think Disney has succeeded in not only preserving this film on DVD, but they deserve to be applauded for putting in all the extras, even if it's not conisdered the best of Disney films. The print, audio and package is great.

I loved this film as a kid, and it was fun to re-watch as an adult. Ok, it's not going to win the award for the best film ever. It's definitely light Disney live action comparable to many of it's other 70s films. True, the original Escape To Witch Mountain was better, but this has some great moments of it's own. Also, it's got a fabulous cast, Bette Davis and Christopher Lee, and those incredible kids!!! Can you tell I like this film despite it's silliness?

What makes it all more special, are the extras. They are laid out kind of strangely, and if you don't look around, you could miss them. The highlight of these is the documentary, "Making the 'return' trip." If you wondered what ever happened to Kim and Iake, as well as the members of the gang (can you believe they actually grew up?), the crew, and director, they're all here. Thank you everyone at Disney for putting the extra effort into this release. Keep up the good work!

A Total Stinker
Truly terrible sequel to "Escape From Witch Mountain". The kid actors are hokey, the plot confused, and even the great Bette Davis looks bored and slightly embarrased by the mess that she's in. Its a shame, with this cast and a better premise, this could have really gone somewhere.
Not worth the purchase...get it from Netflix. The extras are interesting, but they don't save this clunker.
