Escape to Witch Mountain is a 1975 Disney film starring Kim Richards, Ike Eisenmann, Ray Milland, and Donald Pleasence, directed by John Hough. It is the Film of the Book of the same name, about siblings Tony and Tia Malone (Eisenmann and Richards). We are introduced to them as they are admitted to an orphanage/school. They have no memory of where they came from before they were placed in foster care, and try to conceal the fact that they have Psychic Powers. When Tia sees an accident before it happens, it draws the attention of a wealthy businessman, Aristotle Bolt (Milland), who wants to exploit the siblings' powers. They try to remember where they came from, guided by Tia's "star case", a leather box on a strap with a curious double star design on the lid, which she has had as long as she can remember, and which contains a hidden map to a place called Witch Mountain.Tony and Tia must escape from Mr. Bolt's compound and travel to Witch Mountain in an attempt to find out where they came from. Along the way they enlist the help of an old drifter (Eddie Albert) to conceal them as Mr. Bolt uses his influence to track them down.In 1978, it was followed by Return from Witch Mountain, with Richards and Eisenmann reprising their roles. A third episode, ignoring the second and featuring none of the original cast, was titled Beyond Witch Mountain, made as a pilot for a TV series and shown as an episode of The Magical World of Disney in 1982. Two remakes were made, a first one in 1995 under the same title that starred Elisabeth Moss, Robert Vaughn, and Brad Dourif and a second in 2009 called Race to Witch Mountain and starring Dwayne Johnson. | |

Table Space: The unease of Tony and Tia at Bolt's mansion and Bolt's predatory attitude towards the children is demonstrated in a scene where they all have dinner at a long formal table, with Bolt and Deranian on the ends and the kids sitting together in the middle. | |

Properly Paranoid | |
| Escape to Witch Mountain / int_3aec9e5e | comment |
Properly Paranoid: Tony and Tia's people are careful not to directly expose themselves to the public. The map gives the siblings just enough information to find them, but not enough for someone unscrupulous as there's no context. The Misty Valley Cooperative office in Stony Creek is clearly a front as there are no personal effects or indication of anyone manning the place nor frequent visitors. Instead, you are meant to dial a three-digit number listed in the office's phone book on the desk phone to establish contact. There's also a back door that leads directly to the rear of the building that comes in handy. | |

Ungrateful Bastard: In the beginning of the film, Tia offers her pen to Truck because his is out of ink. He accuses her of having stolen it from him days ago, although she and Tony have just arrived to the orphanage, and refuses to give it back. She picks it back from his pocket when Mrs. Grindley shows up. Lucas Deranian. He would have been killed by the tow truck if the children hadn't warned him, but sees them as chance to get in Mr. Bolt's good graces. | |

Late-Arrival Spoiler: It's actually supposed to be a Twist Ending that Tony and Tia are aliens, but it's been a long time since that was treated as any kind of secret. Consider their Flying Saucer is right on the cover of the DVD. Not to mention, all subsequent installments of the Witch Mountain franchise give that information away in the trailer. | |

Map All Along: When Truck snatches Tia's case, Winkie knocks it off his hand. The fall makes the panel with two stars at the top of the case come partially loose, revealing a map underneath. Tia and Tony use it as a guide after they escape from Mr. Bolt's mansion ( The map marks the place where her people, an alien race, is living isolated from humans.). | |

And the Adventure Continues: Uncle Bene reveals that Tony and Tia aren't the only children that were lost and there are others with the same cases and maps. Now that Jason knows what to look for, he offers to help find those children and bring them home. The last scene we see is of him smiling knowing that Tony and Tia are home safe. Happy and with a purpose—and the perfect cover as he's a widower traveling around the country in an RV—it's made clear he and Winkie are going to do just that. | |

Powder Gag: During the car chase, Tony launches a sack of flour into a pursuer, blinding them, running them off the road, and crashing (complete with a comical crash sound). When the smoke clears, we see the car comically perched up against a tree with its hood popped up, a piece of fender trim dangling off the side but otherwise undamaged, and the driver and its occupants covered in flour but otherwise unhurt. | |

Distracted by the Luxury: Downplayed. Although Tia and Tony are first amazed at their new rooms (and Winkie's) at Mr. Bolt's mansion and excited at the prospect of riding horses, in the end of the first day they feel sad because having everything they always wanted (at least concerning material things) makes them feel empty. And they quickly realize that Mr. Bolt and Deranian just want to use them. | |

Speaks Fluent Animal: Tia can communicate telepathically with animals. It's implied Uncle Bene has this ability as well, given his remark that sharks can be "very accommodating" if you know what to say to them (which was apparently how he avoided death by drowning). | |

Pet the Dog: Mr. Deranian is an Amoral Attorney who rarely does better then display some Pragmatic Villainy, but when a truck crashes into his car in his first scene, Deranian immediately races to see if his chauffeur is all right. The first sign that Jason is more than a Grumpy Old Man is when he pets Winkie the cat and promises to give him some canned tuna. | |
