cute kids' flick
|
I first watched this movie when I was around 10. I absolutely adored it, as did my two sisters who were about 5 and 6 years old. It is a story about 2 orphans, Tony and Tia who after losing not only their parents, but also their wonderful foster parents, go to live in an orphanage. They are known as freaks there because of their strange powers to do some things like read each others thoughts and pick up objects without using their bodies. An evil man named Mr.Deranean (sp?) witnesses their powers first hand and tells his evil boss Mr.Bolt about them. The boss tells Mr. Deranean to claim to be the kids' uncle so that he can adopt them and then bring them to Bolt's mansion to help Bolt out financially ( as if he needed it!). Of course the kids eventually escape with the help of a sweet (although a bit grumpy) old man named Jason. He helps them find their real family that live on Witch Mountain. My favorite scene as a kid was when Jason and the children are in the woods happily drinking hot chocolate and Jason tells them about his past and the children comfort him and then Jason learns to love the kids as if they were his own. I also love the scene when the kids do an amazing puppet show without using their hands. All they use is Tony's magic harmonica.
This movie is definitely outdated and if I hadn't seen it as a kid, I would probably think it was the dorkiest thing I ever saw. However, I still like watching it today. This movie is safe for kids. Even though it has to do with ESP, it isn't really spooky and I don't think parents need to worry their kids will start getting into weird philosophies or experimenting with "the other side". It's more about kids rising above their troubled circumstances and helping others by loving and forgiving them. |
