Product Information

Lansbury had only made a demo recording, singing with a solo piano because the orchestrations would have been added when the picture was scored.

It takes an enormous amount of concentration and uninterrupted time--especially if one wants to be a proper wicked witch. The musical score for Bedknobs and Broomsticks was composed and adapted by Irwin Kostal, with all songs written by Richard M. and while it's a pretty good book on its own, it didn't hold up to the expectations I had for it based on the film.Dall'altro lato, il libro è scritto molto bene e la trama è comunque molto carina e divertente, basta non ancorarsi al vecchio film e godersi la lettura per apprezzarla. Discover THE MAGIC BEDKNOB and BONFIRES AND BROOMSTICKS, two stories full of magic from much-loved author Mary Norton. No deja de ser un libro entretenido, se aprecia un sentido del humor inglés que me ha sacado más de una sonrisa. British author's first book, first published in the USA in 1943 and published in England two years later, in 1945, most likely due to war-time restrictions, with different illustrations by Joan Kiddell-Monroe. As the Sherman brothers' contract with the Disney studios was set to expire in 1968, they were contacted by Bill Walsh in their office to start work on the film.

Carey is ten – ‘about your age’ – Charles nine, Paul six, and all three are sent one summer in the early 1940s to stay with their humourless aunt in Much Frensham, Bedfordshire. But, per usual, the book is better and I'm reminded that one should always read the book before watching the movie! Directing animator Milt Kahl had designed the characters, but he was angered over the inconsistencies in the character animation. They turn up, in fact, in London near where the fire started, and this confuses them because they expected to land in Bedfordshire where they started.During the Second World War she was evacuated to New York and struggled to support herself and her four children while her husband was in the Navy.

With a Flair", "Don't Let Me Down", and "Nobody's Problems" are only present in the reconstructed version of the film.I've no idea about the movie of this book, but the book itself I highly recommend to interested readers. The themes are a bit like those of the little witch stories of Ruth Chew, but this is a larger, richer, deeper book.

She is best known for the The Borrowers series of low fantasy novels (1952 to 1982), which is named after its first book and, in turn, the tiny people who live secretly in the midst of contemporary human civilisation.Solo così si può spiegare la piega tetra presa dal libro nell’ultima parte, per poi risollevarsi grazie al tanto atteso lieto fine. Indeed, it is doubtful if special effects or animation have been ever bettered or used to greater advantage. The magic here is all of the obviously pretend variety, like Harry Potter or the fairy godmother in Cinderella, not teaching young readers how to do magic or anything like that. Yet two years later in Bonfires and Broomsticks circumstances take them back to Much Frensham, with the possibility of at least one further trip, travelling back a few centuries.
