Escape to Witch Mountain
Though this movie isn't without charm, it is a quite forgettable film. I think some of the special effects may have astounded younger viewers when it came out, but as a whole, I don't think the movie holds up. There is a lot of child endangerment in this movie and no adult in authority seems to care. I know it's a Disney movie, but the evil uncle angle gives off very creepy vibes. The main antagonist chews up the scenery. That's always great to see an over the top villain in a Disney live action film, but apart from that, the film gets boring and stale quite quickly. There's a mystery about where the children have come from, but every 5 minutes in the movie one of them remembers something else about their origins, and it's just boring. Although I think this film did make an impact on its audience as there are three other films in the series and a remake.
