    • Trivia
      The character of Tia in the flashback sequences was played by Kyle Richards, the real-life younger sister of Kim Richards.
    • Goofs
      Wires are obvious in two scenes; on the hovering handgun at the campground, and on the floating harmonica in the jail.
    • Quotes

      Jason O'Day: Um, look. Um, if you don't mind, I'd like to plan on remembering you two as if you were my kids. The kids I never had.

    • Alternate versions
      Early video releases were missing the magic sequence with the dancing puppets. Disney's response to complaints was that music rights were not available.

      Edited from Bambi (1942)

    This is perhaps the best childrens movie ever made!

    I first saw Escape to Witch Mountain when it came out in 1975. Even though I was 22 at that time, I still remember the warm feelings that were in my heart when the movie was over. It made me feel like a little boy again! Over the years, I must have seen this movie at least 50 times, and I still get heart-warming feelings every time I view it. I have three children, (girls), and made sure that they saw it. They loved it! I originally went to see this movie because I was a fan of Donald Pleasence and Eddie Albert. It was'nt long before I became a fan of Ike and Kim as well. It would be terrific if Disney would do a sequel, (with Ike & Kim).
