Customer Reviews

Lots of dancing, lots of fluff, lots of noise, and a little action at the end

“Bed K-n-o-b-s and Broomsticks” is a Disney filler that was between their heyday and the modern-day socially acceptable cartoons. It looks like they peppered this film with their bevy of out-of-work actors and some flat cartoons, also tossing in some obscure dancers. The basic story is an overlap of a few simple stories. The main thread is of an “apprentice witch” (Angela Lansbury) wanting to learn a locomotion spell that should turn the war (World War II, England) into a rout. Overlapping this is that she must take in displaced kids from the war-torn city. On top of this, she becomes enamored of a street peddler (David Tomlinson) pretending to be a wizard's institution. They confront a nefarious bookseller (Sam Jaffee). Sam does a great job at being quasi-evil; you may remember him from “Ben-Hur” and “Shangri-La”. After all, it seems to be hours of obscure dancing and songs that kids would never get in 1 million years, and grown-ups would find boring. The film finally gets about 10 minutes' worth of action in the end. The action is slapstick but fun.
