(Not sure where this goes) I was wondering, does anyone remember the escape from witch mountain movie? I don't mean the original one with the camping trailer, etc. I mean the newer version. I can't remember much, but all I remember is that there were sets of twins (lots of them) and they all left by going into a rainbow. Does anyone else remember this? what is it called? anything special? also, is it available on DVD? thanks

This is the movie you mean: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112985/combined

It came out during a time where Disney was obsessed with remaking classic films as TV movies for ABC. Other ones I remember them doing are Freaky Friday, The Shaggy Dog, The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, and The Love Bug. So far none of these TV movies are available on home video, and there's no word, yet, when (if?) they'll come.

and may they stay in the vault forever. All of them paled badly when compared against the originals.

Oh. Ok, thank you. I liked that one, but according to that summary at imdb, no one else did thanks!

Small correction The Love Bug tv remake is/was available on video

Wait I'm confused. Didn't they recently release Escape to Witch Mountain and Return to Witch Mountain on dvd right before Christmas? Because I remember being a bit excited about that cause I remembered watching both movies on tv at some point. Or were these the originals?

Those were the originals. This thread is about the TV remake.
