bedknobs and broomstick be a magical adventure film with a certain charm and despite not be one of the best disney work . it have a generally good story and nice song and great character and good actor and magical and delightful special effect and good setting and lovely landscape of england . it also combine very well live action and animation . the animation itself be and of course and pretty good . the animation resemble very much that of the 1973 animate film robin hood and the same can be say about the animated character represent there be plenty of wild animal such a bear and elephant and hippo and lion and crocodile and others like in robin hood . besides and the king ( a lion ) seem to be a mix of prince john and king richard and not to mention that the bear do look like little john . this movie be often compare to mary poppins with a reason . both combine live action and animation with a similar artwork . both have similar setting in london . both have their own magic and a magical woman . the kid ( carrie and charlie and cute little paul ) be a bit like the bank child . both movie be direct by robert stevenson and both cast david tomlinson . however and instead of a very serious man like george bank and david tomlinson play a merrier and magical man professor emelius browne . with it magic and this movie have also some slight but significant similarity to harry potter story . the majority of the song be good . the age of not believe and the beautiful briny sea be the very best . portobello road be nice too . david tomlinson be great in this film once again . angela lansbury be great a miss price and the 3 kid actor be all fine too represent cindy ocallaghan a carrie and ian weighill a charlie ( a boy in « the age of not believe » ) and roy snart a the young brother paul . i like the black cat . it pretty cool . it look a bit like salem and the black cat from the tv series sabrina and the teenage witch . i find cute whenever one of the movie character be transform into a white rabbit . rabbit be really cute and fluffy and adorable animal . i just love them . even funny be whenever professor emelius browne be transform into a white rabbit because and when he transform in human again and he shake his nose like a rabbit . it really hilarious and combine with his comical figure and that mustache . overall and this be an okay movie and but it end be quite bad . the first minute of the movie be nothing special and but then it improve a lot . the end and however and be weak . that my major criticism about it and in great part because the animated knight thing be a little too much for me and also due to the war feeling .
