“A long time ago, I was into books. This isnu0026#39;t a light phrase, I took out multitudes of them from the library. Alexander Key wrote a neat novel called u0026quot;Escape to Witch Mountainu0026quot; about a priest named Father Ou0026#39;Day who helps two siblings return to their people. It was a very good book, and I knew when I bought the book from the Book Fair that it was a reprint to endorse the movie. However, at that time, my movie-experiences were minimal. It took several years for me to actually be able to see the movie (when Disney first brought out the Disney Channel, iirc) and I was a bit surprised at the liberties that were taken with Keyu0026#39;s book. The priest became the widower, and the beat up car became the RV. Bolt was not in the book, but he was an interesting main-villian, and I enjoyed the movie. My son, who is now 6 (Tues this week) enjoys watching it on VHS as much as I do! u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eReturn was not as good–it was a u0026quot;letu0026#39;s make money by doing a sequelu0026quot; but it was cool too. As that 5th grader, I knew what it was to be outside the norm, and I wanted to have the same powers that Tia did, so I guess thatu0026#39;s saying something!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI too place this movie with Parent Trap, Candleshoe, and Freaky Friday. Good movies that I donu0026#39;t have to worry about my child u0026quot;catchingu0026quot; wrong words from! **** out of 5.”
