and it's in full screen! :o

It will be interesting to see if the "Puppet Dance" sequence is included!

Yes, the "Puppet Dance" is included, unlike the VHS release.

I can't remember a year I've been alive that the BBC hasn't shown the witch mountain movies.

Why was that scene cut 2099net?

I understand it was cut due to musical rights: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072951/alternateversions

I'm actually shocked it was shown full screen. I can't remember the last movie I saw on the BBC which was full screen when a widescreen version exists.
