she had the voice of an angel and the legs of an 18th century armoire.

I think this film (and quite a number of "classic" Disney films) is just a front for some kind of international ring of child molestation.

Seriously, in that picture you have Dick Van Dyke on a "Magic" Bed with two children.

Everyone invoved in this film belongs in federal prison

I got in an argument with my 4-year-old niece (she's about to be 7) about the Angela Lansbury character in the movie.
My argument: She's a witch
Niece's argumet: She's not a witch.

It was a stalemate, so we went and colored in her Barbie coloring book. She wouldn't let me use red for her hair. It HAD to be Yellow. Women.

re: Bedknobs and Broomsticks;

Watched it a few times as a wee one. Didn't hate it, didn't love it.

You're thinking of The Amazing Mr. Limpet, or something like that.

High Quality.

Ok

Thought it was the same flick.

Are we sure though? Maybe he was in both?

I don't know. Childhood is a blur.

I know Knotts was definitely an animated fish that was a secret weapon to spot subs, like an early version of sonar in an Amazing Mr. Something flick.

Don't know if he was in Bedknobs and Broomsticks at all, let alone as another animated fish.

all right, according to IMDB, no Don Knotts in Bedknobs and Broomsticks. And he most definitely was an animated fish in The Incredible Mr. Limpet.

re: Angie, check her out in "State of the Union".

Sure gave a contemporaneous Lauren Bacall a run for her money. Yowza.

Lansbury? Watch the real Manchurian Candidate

'Nuff said
