Escape to Witch Mountain being remade by Walt Disney Pictures

For those of you who loved Escape to Witch Mountain the first time around will be pleased to know that Walt Disney Pictures are to remake the movie. Disney have a great opportunity to do something great with this new movie, but what we have trouble working out is the fact that Disney have decided to use Andy Fickman as director.

The first Escape to Witch Mountain film was back in 1975, the story which came from Alexander Key’s novel followed two children who were orphans and of which had extraordinary powers. However these mysterious children are being chased by a nasty millionaire who wishes to exploit the both of them.

The movie then had a sequel titled Return from Witch Mountain, back in 1978, then in 1982 there was a TV movie spin-off.

I’m not sure if this new Escape to Witch Mountain movie will be as popular as it was way back in 1975, but only time will tell.
