New York Times (Janet Maslin)
IF I WERE 10 again, I don't think I'd mind the fact that the space vehicle featured in the opening of "Return From Witch Mountain" looks like a flying pith helmet, or that the subsequent special effects are equally tinny....read the complete Return from Witch Mountain (1978) review at New York Times (Janet Maslin)

Michael D's Region 4 DVD Info Page [Dean McIntosh]
This will be a trip down nostalgia lane from some, but that'll be about it. Because of the huge lack of extras here, those who do remember the film and wish to add it to their collection can only look to Region 1 for a decent package, as the one on...read the complete Return from Witch Mountain (1978) review at Michael D's Region 4 DVD Info Page [Dean McIntosh]

This sequel to Disney's inexplicably popular Escape from Witch Mountain is without the shadow of a doubt one of the worst-made films that I've ever seen....read the complete Return from Witch Mountain (1978) review at Apollo Guide (Dan Jardine)

The classic Walt Disney sci-fi film "RETURN FROM WITCH MOUNTAIN" (1978) is released on DVD to help celebrate the theatrical release of "RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN" (the third `WITCH MOUNTAIN' film which can be considered a new storyline or a re-imagining of ...

The Number One movie of the week is Race To Witch Mountain. But I can't handle the idea of substituting kindly Eddie Albert with The Rock, even if he has made a string of family films. So why not check out the gentle original from 1975, whose special ...

I'm a bit confused by Return from Witch Mountain. In the original, there's a pretty solid theme of self-discovery (which is admittedly thrown away by the ending, but it's there). Further still, Escape to Witch Mountain set up the perfect premise for a ...
