VHS Movie Reviews of Bedknobs & Broomsticks
Movie Review: A little disappointed
Summary: 3 Stars
I remember loving this movie when I was a kid, but I just watched it with my four year old, and I was a little disappointed. It is not nearly to the caliber of Mary Poppins, to which it is often compared. The humor and setting are a lot darker, set as it is during World War II, and there is an under-current of anti-clericalism and of mass violence that is unsettling for a children's film.
Others may find the animated sequence to be a high note. I thought it was long and tedious.
What was better than remembered was the Portobello Road dance sequence, which I thought was truly ahead of its time. There is break-dancing, and even the beginnings of a moon walk dance move. It wouldn't surprise me if this is where Michael Jackson picked up the idea for his Billy Jean dance moves.
I would definitely not recommend this for 4 year old girls. I think it skews a little older and is probably more appealing for boys than girls.
Movie Review: Bedknobs and Broomsticks (30th Anniversary Edition )
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great family movie, right up there with Mary Poppins, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. My oldest children were brought up with them. I was very glad when they came out in DVD so that my grandchildren could see them also. I also enjoy watching them again and again. They are the types of movies that when you want to feel good and lose yourself into the world of Magic and Beauty without alot of violence and sex, they hit the target right on.Movie Review: A movie for all ages

I fell in love with this movie when I bought it for my children years ago - now I bought the DVD for myself ! A good combination of cartoon and reality coupled with a decent, easy to follow storyline.Movie Review: Bedknobs & Broomsticks

My kids loved the movie. I'm so glad you had it available for sale. I had been looking for it in stores for some time. The product was in excellent condition (new) and was shipped promptly. Thanks!
