Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971)Movies

Eglantine Price (Angela Lansbury - Mrs. Santa Claus) isn’t a perfect witch, but she does her best in this musical mix of live-action and animation. When she takes in three children from London during World War II, they discover her attempts at witchcraft. To keep them from spilling her secret, she bewitches a bedknob which they use to travel on adventures—and to help protect England from Nazi invasion, naturally. Plus it co-stars David Tomlinson (Mr. Banks in Mary Poppins), so if you love Mary Poppins, may we suggest a sing-along double bill? Based on the series by Mary Norton.
