7.1 / 10

During WWII in England, Charlie, Carrie, and Paul Rawlins are sent to live with Eglantine Price, who it turns out is an apprentice witch. Charlie blackmails Miss Price that if he is to keep her practices a secret, she must give him something, so she takes a bed knob from her late father's bed and places the "famous magic traveling spell" on it, and only Paul can activate it. Their first journey is to a street in London where they meet Emelius Browne, former headmaster of Miss Price's witchcraft training correspondence school. Miss Price tells him of a plan to find the magic words for a spell known as Substitutiary Locomotion, which brings inanimate objects to life. This spell will be her work for the war effort.

Bron Wikipedia: Price is in het geheim bezig een schriftelijke cursus tot heks te volgen, in de hoop dat haar magie de Britse soldaten kan helpen in de oorlog. De drie kinderen ontdekken al snel het geheim van Price. Om ze stil te houden betovert ze een bed zodat de kinderen hiermee naar elke plaats ter wereld kunnen reizen. Omdat de aanbieder van de cursus, professor Emelius Browne, plotseling is opgehouden haar nieuwe lessen toe te sturen, zoeken Price en de kinderen hem op in Londen. Al snel blijkt Browne een oplichter te zijn die spreuken uit een oud toverboek kopieert en verkoopt als “cursus”. Hij is dan ook stomverbaasd dat de spreuken bij Price echt blijken te werken. Hij heeft echter niet de spreuk waar Price naar zoekt. In een poging deze spreuk te vinden reizen Price, Browne en de kinderen de wereld over. De spreuk blijkt uiteindelijk op een medaillon te staan dat verstopt is op het eiland Naboombu; een eiland bewoond door getekende antropomorfe dieren. Met veel moeite slagen ze erin de spreuk te bemachtigen. Eenmaal thuis is de groep getuige van hoe een aantal Duitse soldaten aan land komen als voorhoede voor een invasie. Price gebruikt de nieuwe spreuk om een groot aantal harnassen en oude wapens in een museum tot leven te brengen en de Duitsers te verslaan. De Duitsers blazen echter wel Prices huis op, waar al haar spreuken opgeslagen lagen. Price besluit hierop om haar cursus tot heks te laten voor wat het is. - @Thursday, November 21, 2013 8:54 PM

No offense, but I would research that further. This film has "never" been adapted for the stage legally via Disney Theatricals and it's co-licensing agency, Music Theater International. Therefore, if performed, it would be done so illegally. - @Friday, July 26, 2013 2:33 AM

I love this movie. I was born in the ealry 1990s and I find it sad that more of my peers are not familiar with this film. It makes me even more sad that the generations after mine do not appreciate this kind of movie. - @Saturday, November 24, 2012 7:30 PM
