Synopsis:
A couple of psychic children flee from a millionaire obsessed with their powers.
Impressions:
It's easy to dismiss Disney's live action films, particularly in the 60s and 70s, but they're mostly harmless family-friendly fluff. That's pretty well the case here. It's actually a decent chase story with a supernatural twist. The kids aren't bad and Donald Pleasence is good as you'd expect in the role of the antagonist's right-hand man. The effects are pretty weak, but there's a certain cheesy charm to it. It's an alright film, especially to show the kiddos. Give it a shot.
