REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Thu., May 25, 2000

One of Disney’s best and most popular live-action movies, this one is a favorite among those who grew up in the Seventies. The story involves two children with mysterious powers and the bad guys who want to marshal their powers for evil purposes. A live magic show precedes the film, along with games and prizes.
