Return from Witch Mountain (1978)
Alien kids with psychic powers, Tony (Ike Eisenmann) and Tia (Kim Richards), come to Los Angeles, California, for a vacation. After he is seen using his powers, Tony is kidnapped by an unscrupulous scientist (Christopher Lee, House of Dracula) and his greedy sidekick (Bette Davis), who want to exploit the boy’s abilities.
Reaction & Thoughts:
“That’s why I like science. They’re always discovering new expensive things.”
Against all expectations, Escape to Witch Mountain (1974) made tons of money for the Walt Disney Corporation. Not entirely unexpected, the studio decided that the success of the 1974 movie demanded a sequel. Malcolm Marmorstein, who had written Disney’s highly popular musical fantasy Pete’s Dragon (1977), came up with Return from Witch Mountain, which I ended up enjoying far more than I anticipated.
The movie continues the saga of extraterrestrial siblings with telekinesis powers, Tony and Tia. While Return from Witch Mountain isn’t as interesting as the somewhat somber Escape to Witch Mountain, the admittedly goofier sequel felt a bit tidier than its predecessor — the story moves along at an entertaining pace.
As he did with Escape to Witch Mountain, director John Hough (The Legend of Hell House) does his darn best to keep things from getting too cute. I was also pleasantly surprised to see that the visual effects were a tad better the second time around. While the optical effects are still nowhere near the level of Mary Poppins (1964), the illusions are good enough. Lalo Schifrin’s (Dirty Harry) music score is good, too.
Additionally, veterans Bette Davis and Christopher Lee inject credibility into many silly situations. Lee is genuinely creepy as the “mad scientist” who wants to use the kids for his own nefarious purposes. It’s as if no one bothered to tell him that this was a Disney flick — Lee’s imposing 6’5″ frame and potent voice tower over all others in the film.
Lee has good rapport with Davis. However, unlike Lee, Davis places her tongue into her cheek — she provides plenty of giggles as Lee’s greedy partner-in-crime. Child actors Ike Eisenmann and Kim Richards are as likable as ever. Character actor Anthony James (Burnt Offerings) has a few good moments as Davis’s shady nephew.
Conclusions & Final Thoughts:
Return from Witch Mountain may not have quite the amount of cheerleaders Escape to Witch Mountain has, but I liked it. The film is light entertainment, but I don’t really see that as a negative. The kids were great, and it was a lot of fun seeing heavyweight champions Bette Davis and Sir Christopher Lee together in a movie aimed at children. Followed by a short-lived TV series. Color, 94 minutes, Rated G.
Bette Davis AND hot mess express Kim Richards in a movie together? That’s almost too much to handle. I love 70s Disney, so much fun and the look of the films of this era are so fake and polished. Love it.
The exquisite appearance of the magic flying butterfly is equally captivating. Its wings are a kaleidoscope of colors, ranging from dazzling blues and greens to vibrant oranges and purples. These colors are not only aesthetically pleasing but also serve a practical purpose. They act as a form of camouflage, enabling the butterfly to blend seamlessly into its environment and evade potential predators. In addition to its enchanting appearance and magical flight, the magic flying butterfly also possesses an intriguing behavior. It communicates through a series of delicate movements, using its wings to convey messages to other butterflies. This unique form of communication adds another layer of mystery and fascination to these captivating creatures. The magic flying butterfly plays a significant role in various cultures and mythologies. Many ancient civilizations considered it to be a symbol of transformation, rebirth, and the soul. It was often associated with the divine and used to represent the journey of the spirit from one realm to another. Today, the magic flying butterfly continues to captivate and inspire. It serves as a reminder of the beauty and wonder of the natural world and the magic that can be found within it. Whether observed in a garden or encountered in a dream, the sight of a magic flying butterfly never fails to evoke a sense of awe and wonder..
Reviews for "The Symbolism of Flying Butterflies: Freedom, Transformation, and Renewal"
1. John - 2 stars - I was really excited about the Magic Flying Butterfly, but it turned out to be a major disappointment. The butterfly never flew as smoothly as shown in the commercials. It often got stuck mid-air or fell flat on the ground. The design and construction of the butterfly were also quite flimsy, and it broke within a few days of use. Save your money and look for a better quality flying toy.
2. Sarah - 1 star - The Magic Flying Butterfly was a complete waste of money. It barely flew at all. I followed all the instructions carefully, but no matter how hard I tried, the butterfly would just flutter a bit and then fall down. It was not magical or entertaining in any way. Don't be fooled by the flashy packaging – this toy is nothing but a gimmick.
3. Emily - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Magic Flying Butterfly, but it failed to meet my expectations. The butterfly didn't fly as far or as high as I anticipated. It also required a lot of effort to get it to fly, and even then, it would only stay in the air for a few seconds. The novelty of the toy wore off quickly, and I found myself disappointed and unimpressed. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone looking for an enjoyable flying toy experience.
4. Mike - 2 stars - The concept behind the Magic Flying Butterfly is intriguing, but the execution falls short. The butterfly's flight is erratic, and it often ends up crashing into nearby objects. The winding mechanism is quite difficult to use, and it takes considerable effort to get the butterfly to fly at all. Additionally, the butterfly's wings are made of a flimsy material that easily breaks, rendering the toy useless. Overall, I was not impressed with the performance or durability of the Magic Flying Butterfly.
