Despite being a child of the 1970s, I never saw Disney’s Escape to Witch Mountain (1975) and thus have no point of comparison with its new “reimagining,” which comes complete with action-comedy star Dwayne Johnson in the driver’s seat and a slightly more dynamic name change to Race to Witch Mountain. However, given the general quality of Disney live-action films in the ’70s, I would guess the original was neither as loud nor as frenetic as this new version, which may or may not be a good thing.  (Hollywood Jewel 16, Waco, TX)
