The siblings have telepathic and telekinetic powers: they can read each others' minds, and mentally move objects at will. When the nefarious Victor becomes aware of this, he kidnaps Tony, and plans to use him to steal gold bars from a museum. Can Tina, accompanied by a band of plucky teens, find him before it's too late? [More]

  • Return From Witch Mountain
  • In this thrilling sequel to Disney's ESCAPE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN, automobiles mysteriously fly and humans float in thin air as sinister masterminds Christopher Lee and Bette Davis unleash a diabolical plan. The entire city of Los Angeles teeters on the brink of nuclear disaster when the greedy criminals manipulate a young boy's supernatural powers for their own devious gain. But the youth's sister and a streetwise band of truants join forces in a desperate attempt to save the city from destruction.

    While the first film had an exciting feel to it, Return to Witch Mountain was a bit of a let-down. It had more of a made-for-TV feel to it

    Better structured and faster-moving than its predecessor … disappointingly, Tony spends almost the whole film separated from Tia in a trance-like state, so the siblings' relationship is lost.

    Probably the closest Disney ever came to making a grindhouse film, starring Christopher Lee and Bette Davis as villains

    This sequel to Disney’s inexplicably popular Escape from Witch Mountain is without the shadow of a doubt one of the worst-made films that I’ve ever seen.
