Saw the movie last night on TCM. I heard it was edited after searching for an existing thread, but it may have been uncut on TCM, I don't know about what was included in the Portabello Market sequence.

Anyways, it was a great combination of animated sequences, historical fiction, and fantasy. That sea number I remember from my Disney sing-along tapes. But I have to admit this question: Is it me or was the climax tamed down for that G-rating?

I'll probably consider getting the classic "Mary Poppins" on Blu-ray even though I have it on VHS, but Disney films from the RKO era were great aswell, so if I want to see live-action/animation combination movies, the only major bet from that era that I know of is the unreleased-to-DVD-and-Blu-ray "Song of the South".

But let's not get off-topic.

What are your thoughts on "Bedknobs & Broomsticks"?
