From DVDFile:



I don't know about you guys, but this news is exciting! Escape to Witch Mountain was one of my favorite movies growing up. It's about time it gets released on DVD, and with the SE-treatment to boot!

I'm excited - which probably makes me a super-geek lol It will be weird to see a high quality version of it, might seem like a different movie since I'm used to TV quality with commercial interruptions.

I have fond memories of watching this movie (and the sequel) as a kid. I don't think I'm going to tarnish those memories by watching it now since I doubt I'd like it at all. Good to hear they are getting treated well though.

Just FYI: Sept. 2 is the release date reported by DVDFile.

Just FYI, the first one still holds up very well (I have the laserdisc and watch it every now and then).

I've always thought the 2nd one was crappy, so I can't really comment on what you'd think now...

Can't wait to see the extras.

Looks like a my September list is getting bigger by the moment.

Bette Davis and Christopher Lee

I'm definitely excited about this. I'll pick up both Apple Dumpling and Escape....both favorites of mine as a child.

I've never heard of this movie. Is it anything like Secret Of Bear Mountain?

I loved the Witch Mountain movies as a kid. I caught one of them on TV recently, and still enjoyed it, so I'll probably buy these.

bout fricking time. The first one is the best, although the second one does have Christopher Lee in it....

This sucks, what about Freaky Friday? Who ya gotta f*** in this place to get a DVD of Freaky Friday?

In time buddy. At least yours got a sequel not to long ago....

Glad to hear these are coming out. I hope they are as good as the Bedknobs and Broomsticks DVD...another fave from my childhood

Bea Arthur.

Freaky Friday remake coming to theatres soon. Sounds like original will be released when new version comes to dvd.

I am actually more excited about The Apple Dumpling Gang than I am about Escape to Witch Mountain, but I will certainly pick up the latter as well.

S W E E T !

Now, why couldn't Disney do this for ALL their classic flicks..??

First anamorphic, now a commentary?

NICE!

Gary

Just picked up The Love Bug Special Edition today, primarily for the commentary with Dean Jones and Buddy Hackett. Tim Conway and Don Knotts doing a commentary for The Apple Dumpling Gang will be even better.
