So so sad to hear of the passing of the beloved Dame Angela Lansbury, only a few days short of her 97th birthday. I was reminded today that the first movie I ever attended at a theater as a kid was Bedknobs and Broomsticks. She will be missed 😢 #angelalansbury #bedknobsandbroomsticks #jessicafletcher #murdershewrote #cabotcove #sweeneytodd #mrslovett #stephensondheim #AlejandroMogolloArt https://www.instagram.com/p/CjlwMIJo0LV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

May she RIP ❣️

Rare beauty Angela Lansbury died peacefully in her sleep at 96, 5 days shy of her birthday Oct 16th. 🙏🏽 Most famous for her starring role I’m Murder She Wrote staged in the Maine town of Cabot Cove which is based on the very popular, lovely Maine town of Perkins Cove. 🔦 Mendocino, in Northern California, was the real location used for episodes based in Cabot Cove, other than the Universal Lot. This explains the numerous times you can see palm trees even though it was supposed to be in Maine. 🔍 Around 1940 she gained a job singing by claiming to be 19 when she was 16, for $60 a week. 2 years later her mom and her obtained Christmas jobs at the Bullocks Wilshire department store in Los Angeles; mom was sacked for incompetence, leaving the family to subsist on Lansbury's wages of $28 a week! 2 years after that she was signed to a seven-year contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, earning $500 a week, with Variety magazine in August 1943 claiming Lansbury to have gone from unknown to movie star in just four days 🤣 ⌨️ As of 2009, she held the record for the most unsuccessful Emmy nominations by a performer (18). Also in 2009, I took the name @trangelalansbury as my drag name 🎖 In 2014, Lansbury was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II. 🎭 #AngelaLansbury #Detective #DameAngelaBrigidLansbury #JessicaFletcher #MrsPotts #BeautyAndTheBeast #TaleAsOldAsTime #MeatPies #MurderSheWrote #MurderByDeath #MurderSheWore #SweenyTodd #CabotCove #BedknobsAndBroomsticks #ALittleNightMusic #Mame #BlitheSpirit #Gaslight #ThePictureOfDorianGray #TheManchurianCandidate #Whodunit #Anastasia #DeathOnTheNile #NationalVelvet #SalomeOtterbourne ❤️‍🔥 #allaprima #allaprimapainting #allaprimaportrait #igot5onIt #timelapseportrait 🕵🏼‍♀️ @murder_she_wore @murdershewrotememes @foreverangelalansbury @angela_lansbury ❤️‍🩹 https://www.instagram.com/p/CjmHAp8rvQG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971)

I hate doing this, but everyone does it, and there’s a reason for that. Bedknobs and Broomsticks is amusing… if you’ve seen Mary Poppins so many times you need a break from it. This is not a bad movie. It's just that while Mary Poppins is a timeless classic, this is more of an amusing distraction.

Set in 1940’s England, Charlie (Ian Weighill), Carrie (Cindy O'Callaghan), and Paul Rawlins (Roy Snart) are evacuated from London and placed in the care of Miss Eglantine Price (Angela Lansbury), who they discover is a witch-in-training. In exchange for their silence, Miss Price agrees to take them on adventures while she searches for the final lesson of her witchcraft course.

Let’s get the comparisons out of the way. Like Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks features a whimsical story about small children being taken care of by a magical woman, they go on wild adventures (including a land that’s entirely animated), there are songs and dances, everyone speaks with a British accent and David Tomlinson (whom you'll recognize as Mr. Banks) plays a prominent role. When comparing the two, there’s a clear winner. Is it unfair? I don’t think so. This film was obviously made to re-capture some of the magic from the multiple award-winning musical. It even has the Sherman Brothers composing the songs. It’s not as good, but that’s ok. Few films are.

Bedknobs and Broomsticks is light and whimsical… despite being set during wartime and a Nazi featuring prominently in the climax. It sounds weird, and it is but while it plays out, you don't second-guess it because this is a movie for younger children. It’s about three kids who are down on their luck and are delighted to find out that their caretaker is a witch. All it takes is an enchanted bedpost to whisk them away from the doldrums of the world and into a place where anything can happen.

Angela Lansbury and David Tomlinson resonate charm and perfectly fit their parts. They are both asked to do some slapstick work and both succeed at making you laugh. As for the kids, they're fine for their age - you give them a break because they're so sweet. When everyone goes full-on into adventure mode and they begin exploring strange worlds with talking animals, it gets delightfully silly. It's basically impossible not to crack a smile. I’ve got mixed feelings about the ending of the film though. The special effects are excellent, it features some of the picture's funniest segments. Then, it ends on a note I think is supposed to be optimistic but sure doesn't feel right.

There’s more good than bad in Bedknobs and Broomsticks by far. The film's biggest weakness is that you can’t help but compare it to another and that the gap between first place and second is quite vast. If you remember enjoying it as a kid and you still have that old VHS somewhere in a box, dig it out and view it again. I like this movie, but rent it before you decide to spend a lot on the super special edition Blu-ray. (On VHS, August 31, 2015)

Judge Doom’s costume on display @bowersmuseum spotted by @nevercoolinschool Repost from @nevercoolinschool using @RepostRegramApp - A few movie memorabilia items at the Walt Disney Archives exhibit at @bowersmuseum that highlighted my childhood. Or traumatized it. Haha. . . 1. An innocuous painting from 'Return to Oz,' which otherwise provided nightmare fuel for days. . . 2. The glasses Rick Moranis (one of my first crushes) wore in 'Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.' . . 3. Judge Doom of 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?' using The Dip on a little cartoon shoe still haunts me to this day. . . 4. I had a toy bed for my stuffed animals with a loose bedknob and I would pretend it would take us on fantastical adventures like in 'Bedknobs and Broomsticks.' . . . . #Canon5D #Disney #DisneyPhotography #WaltDisney #WaltDisneyArchives #ReturntoOz #WhoFramedRogerRabbit #BedknobsandBroomsticks #HoneyIShrunktheKids #BowersMuseum #SantaAna #OrangeCounty #InsidetheWaltDisneyArchives #DisneyFilm #DisneyMovie #RickMoranis #JudgeDoom #WayneSzalinski #MagicBedknob #WaltDisneyCompany #D23 #D23Disney #DisneyatBowers https://www.instagram.com/p/B9dcyKnH2aH/?igshid=zcleruk1k9li

Hi lovelies! I know, I know. I promised crafts. And I'm trying. But nothing's coming out quite the way I wanted. Probably because I don't know what I want. *sigh* I'm seeing a flood of people learning and producing these adorable stuffed animals and I'm over here wondering why a simple scarf with toe beans and ears is whooping my butt. Lol. I have literally been crocheting so tightly I can't work the next row. And my cute kitties would rather sleep then try to steal my project. Maybe i should move on to bead work. Or designing a new clothing item. Or maybe i should just sit down and work on my colouring books. 😄😅 Btw, this is my Asteroth. Bonus points if you get the reference. If you have inspiration for me, please comment down below. Or, better yet, share what's been keeping you creative. #blocked #mamachat #creative #maybenot #imessentialshouldntbestircrazy. #drained #maine #cats #bedknobsandbroomsticks (at Bangor, Maine) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-iFerfhy4W/?igshid=1fljege1fzn9f
