Here's a few other old school live action Disney films:

Escape to Witch Mountain
Return from Witch Mountain
The Black Hole
Bedknobs and Broomsticks ( live-action/animation mix )
Now you see him, Now you don't
The Strongest Man in the World
Freaky Friday ( the Jodie Foster/Barbera Harris version )
The Apple Dumpling Gang ( previously mentioned )
The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again
The Love Bug
Herbie Rides Again
Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo
Herbie Goes Bananas

and for the purposes of your thread topic for the PMN, I think I will root for TRON, the film that brought computer animation into a whole new level of filmmaking; love those lightcycles.

I love that movie so much that I couldn't include it because it would have to be DG. So much of my childhood is wrapped up in the watching and rewatching of Bedknobs and Broomsticks and Pete's Dragon.

I'm off to go type a very long round one post... it will be up later on!

Round One... Here We Go!

Since both PNMs visited all 17 houses for round one, I will go house by house. It's always interesting to see how two girls can see the same houses very differently.

I'm naming my girls Jessica and Elizabeth. They are not twins, but that's what I'm naming them. Also deciding on Sweet Valley as a future thread theme.

THE ROCKETEER
Jessica totally loved this house. She felt very at home and had great conversations with everyone she met.
Elizabeth also loved this house. It had a homey feel that set her at ease instantly.

Ms. Dgdramadawg, I totally forgot about adding Pete's Dragon to my list also. I grew up during the 70s Disney era, so I was able to see that one in theaters, along with B & B....and just about all of those titles on my list. Also, look at your DVD of B&B, if the running time is 2hrs. 18-20 minutes, then you have the restored version, at least of what material they could find in their archives; IMHO, it is the better than the 1hr. 58 minute version. Read up on its various releases here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedknobs_and_Broomsticks

P.S. One of my former co-workers at the theater I work at is a DG.

Ladies and Gentlemen, sorry for the thread side-swerve into a brief discussion of the history of Disney films. Please accept my apologizes; but it's the film theorist in me that motivated me to post a follow-up.

And I'm glad to see TRON still in the running....TRON has not reached its END OF LINE yet. LOL.
