Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971):
Brief Review -
"Treguna, Mekoides, Trecorum, Satis Dee!" Childhood or adulthood, this will forever hold greater nostalgia than Harry Potter for me. Revisiting childhood nostalgia is a different thing when you turn into an adult. For me, it was more different and difficult since I have been through many thousands of films within this period. Yet, Bedknobs and Broomsticks had me grinning all the time. That's a big achievement, because even the Harry Potter series failed to do so in the revisit. I'll forever be grateful to Walt Disney and Robert Stevenson's pair for giving me evergreen movies that have had an unforgettable impact on me, and I'm sure my next generation will feel the same when I forward them to them. Bedknobs and Broomsticks is a brilliant entertainer with a kid-friendly storyline and a war conflict for adults. The 70s weren't the right time for children to see a movie made about War or a movie with German soldiers attacking English people, yet this film dared to do so because it had a noble intention of educating them all through cinema. There are many Walt Disney films that have done the same job-entertainment and social awareness-and the kids who saw those movies way back in time will never forget what the movies did to them. It was a cultural planting, a cultivation process for many, and it didn't need any sensational stuff or cinematic spectacle like Star Wars or other Magnum Opus. This film is magical, and just by coincidence, it's about magic. The broom, spells, professor, witch, and three kids will always be more nostalgic than Harry Potter, while the animation effects and dance and musical numbers take it way ahead. Yet another fun ride, a memorable trip into Disney's amusement park, and another chapter in my childhood memories that I shall cherish forever. "Filigree, apogee, pedigree, perigee!" This rabbit is more famous than 'Jojo Rabbit'!
RATING - 7/10*
