NEXT YEAR. PERFECT time for Disney to make a 2-disc special edition DVD release!
I rewatched the film today with my grandmother. SUPERB acting by Angela Lansbury! The children were great, too!
Now, my grandmother grew up without a television. She lived with my aunt for the past few years and has been watching a lot of contemporary movies.
After watching BEDKNOBS for the first time today, she stated "Wow, they should make more movies like this. That was really something special." She didn't even know it was a film from 1971!
The Sherman Brothers wrote a very nice score for the film.
It's lovely bobbing along-

Beautiful briny sea!
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle
