Bedknobs and Broomsticks Ratings & Reviews
Observer
Rebecca Long
Angela Lansbury's zany feature is just as enchanting as it was in 1971 and more radical than some may remember.
Rachel's Reviews (YouTube)
Rachel Wagner
Charming underrated Disney live action musical
Polygon
Karen Han
In its indulgence of extremes, Bedknobs and Broomsticks becomes unwieldy, but also capable of reaching unforgettable heights.
TheBluFile.com
Dustin Putman
[Blu-ray Review] Some movies from childhood hold up when they are seen as an adult, and others do not, trapped only in the nostalgia of the time in which they were first watched. Recommended for fans, but temper expectations.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Disney's multi-Oscar nominated musical is not as good as Mary Poppins to which it's often compared, but Angela Lansbury is well-cast and most of the visual effects, which won the Oscar, are impressive.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
A fun, fairly intelligent, unexpectedly witty example of cinema for children at a time when that genre was at one of its lowest-ever ebbs
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Delightful Disney charmer may be too long for youngest.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
It's more sophisticated than the usual run of Disney product, but it lacks the inventiveness that could endow it with genuine charm.
TIME Magazine
Jay Cocks
The fantasy is earthbound, the score by Richard and Robert Sherman (who also wrote music and lyrics for Mary Poppins) is forgettable, the special effects lackadaisical.
TV Guide
Animation is neatly mixed with live action, and Lansbury, engaging as ever, heads a capable cast.
Movie Views
Ryan Cracknell
Has many moments rooted in movie magic, but there's also a whole lot of filler that brings the movie to a length that's more than bearable.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Betty Jo Tucker
Angela Lansbury shows off her singing, dancing and comic skills -- which I think even overshadow the film's Oscar-winning special effects.
Movie Metropolis
James Plath
It's Disney, and it has magic in it, but for me it's a stretch to call the film 'magical.'
Variety
Variety Staff
It is when the film [based on the book by Mary Norton] dives deeply into the realms of fantasy that it is most enjoyable.
Film Threat
Pete Vonder Haar
If Jessica Fletcher was a witch all along, you think she could've kept Cabot Cove a little safer
New York Times
Vincent Canby
I suspect the movie will be something of a long, uninterrupted sit for the very children for whom it's intended, and an even longer one for those parents and guardians (both adults and teen-age) who will probably accompany them.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The Disney organization is worst when it makes "family entertainment" and best when it sticks to pure, simple, charming fantasy.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Oscar-winning special effects and animation sequences by Ward Kimball make this musical fantasy a perennial favorite.
