Bedknobs And Broomsticks

February 9th, 2008 Posted in Movie

Bedknobs and Broomsticks is a 1971 musical film produced by Walt Disney Productions, which combines live action and animation; it premiered on October 7th, 1971. It is based upon the books The Magic Bed Knob; or, How to Become a Witch in Ten Easy Lessons and Bonfires and Broomsticks, by Mary Norton.

The film has similarities to the 1964 Disney film, Mary Poppins. Both films combine live action and animation and have the same look, and both films are partly set in the streets of London. Both share cast and crew members, namely David Tomlinson, Supporting Actor Reginald Owen, the Sherman Brothers, director Robert Stevenson, art director Peter Ellenshaw, and music director Irwin Kostal.

The movie’s Brazilian title — Se Minha Cama Voasse, literally “If My Bed Could Fly” — is a subtle reference to another Disney film hit, The Love Bug — there titled Se Meu Fusca Falasse, or “If My Beetle Could Speak”.
