Man, I loved the movie Return to Witch Mountain as a kid.  I mean you have the hermonica playing boy that makes things dance and the girl... she had some special power that was awesome.  This and Cloak and Dagger were two of my favorite childhood movies.

On Sunday, it was revealed that Andy Fickman will direct Witch Mountain for Disney. JewReview.net caught up with the helmer to talk about his new project. Here's a clip:

 

Is he ready to take on the challenge? "I ask myself that everyday; I respond to material. I'm a huge UFO buff, I'm a huge paranormal buff; these are the movies I grew up loving. I think it's always the challenge; if I didn't respond to that material, then I don't think I'd be ready to. I think about this movie so much, and the director in me is like, 'Ooh, I can’t wait to do this; Witch Mountain means so much to me. Because it's a favorite movie of mine, it has so much impact."

man, i haven't seen the movie in so long, can't even remember what it's about

Hmmm, I will try to do this from memory.

 

 

Two kids are adopted and they eat ice cream in a fancy ice cream parlor.  They scare some old folks with their magic (kid playing the hermonica and the girl does something).  They find their parents and realize they are aliens or something.....  ummm that is all I remember....

And now it will be ruined for you, like everything those disney-bastards lay hands on.

 

Might check out the old flick though, sounded interesting
