David Tomlinson is a happy-go-lucky guy in this film, but more people recognize him from Mary Poppins (in which he played the kids' humorless banker father) and The Love Bug (in which he played an outright villain, inspiring the villain-character in the recent animated movie Cars).
In fact, the island was that of cannibals in the original book, not cute animated animals, but this is a Disney fantasy after all so the cannibal island of Ueepe became Naboombu.
No one dies in a Disney movie, not even a Nazi machine-gunner. Actually, he probably just knocks him out. My favorite scene is when the Nazi machine-gunner is blasting away at the haunted suit of armor near the end and the haunted suit of armor walks up to him, takes off a leg, pours out the bullets, and whacks the Nazi machine-gunner on the head with it, killing him. Nazi invasion (actually I only saw one rubber raft come ashore from the submarine but we'll take the movie's word for it)Īnd of course cartoon animals playing futball (referred to by the British actors in the film as soccer, since it was partly filmed here in America) There, she uses the spell to reanimate the ancient artifacts. During the night, a German raiding party invades Miss Price's house-she and the children are taken to the village armory/museum.
It turns out that Sam Jaffe in London has the other half of the magic book, which completes the story. The animals play soccer, then the animal king gives her the amulet he's wearing and they head back to WW2-era England, where Miss Price wants to use magic to stop a planned Nazi invasion by raising a ghost army using artifacts in a local castle. They are pulled out of the water by a cartoon bear (voice of Dal McKennon, similar to the bear in 1967's animated Jungle Book movie voiced by Phil Harris) onto an island where cartoon animals rule. Browne and a couple of kids go off on a flying bed to the magic kingdom of Naboombu under the ocean where fantasy animals rule (mixing live actors and animation as Disney did previously in 1964's Mary Poppins and later licensed some of their cartoon characters to the live action/animated film Who Framed Roger Rabbit), looking for a magic amulet she needs to make a magic spell work. It turns out to have been a genuine magic book so she and Mr. It is 1940 and Miss Price (Angela) has taken in three children from London (as in the opening scene in the Chronicles of Narnia).
Bedknobs And Broomsticks Bedknobs And Broomsticks (1971) Treguna Mekoides Tracorum Satis DeeĪngela Lansbury stars in Robert Stevenson's movie about a novice witch who's been taking witch lessons in rural England that turn out to have simply been pages torn out of an old book a conman (David Tomlinson) found for sale in London.
