Bedknobs and Broomsticks came on the other day.
Do you remember that one?
Disney, circa Mary Poppins. Had the same live action movie with an animated sequence in the middle shtick.
I am always amazed when rewatching movies I haven't seen since I was a child at the things that I thought were important at the time and the things that I notice now that I am older.
For one, did anyone else realize that Angela Lansbury starred in it? You know, the Murder She Wrote lady?
And another, apparently in WWII, Britain had a home guard made up of all the men who couldn't go off to war and that's why all these old men are parading about in uniform in the movie.
On the other hand, I distinctly remember this whole dance sequence in which my sister and I would "call" which of the girls we "were" and then dance about. It was half of the reason for watching the silly movie and upon rewatch, I can tell you that those "girls" were on the screen for all of ten seconds and were much, much more African and about ten years older than I remembered them being.
Funny how time changes perspective.

yes I did know that she can sing and dance! it's one of my favorite movies from that era
I own the movie and it hasn't been that long since I watched it. But I shall have to watch again soon, because I have no idea what "girls" dancing that you are talking about.
It's lovely bobbing along, bobbing along, on the bottom of the beautiful briny sea. What a chance to get a better peek at the fish and people that you meet. It's grand to be floating o'er the sand...
At least that's how I remember it. I loved that movie, with its substitutiary locomotion. She was also the teapot in Beauty and the Beast.
