Escape to Witch Mountain1975Escape to Witch Mountain
1975
Orphans Tony and Tia have strange powers: he can move things with his mind and she can sense what's coming. A millionaire wants to use them, and a grumpy widower in a camper helps them flee toward Witch Mountain and the truth about where they came from.
The default: films the whole family can watch together; any scary or intense moments for the littlest viewers are flagged in the Context Notes.
Why it’s here
Siblings loyal to each other, and a lonely man who becomes their protector.
Context notes
For parents, before you press play.
The children are chased by armed men and a helicopter, mildly scary for sensitive kids. Despite the title, their powers come from another world rather than witchcraft, which may be worth explaining; nothing else of note.
