Veteran movie actress Angela Lansbury, who has also been a star on television's "Murder She Wrote," has starred in not one but two Disney children's classics. Can you name them both? If not, read on!
In 1971, Lansbury starred in her first Disney film as Miss Eglantine Price in "Bedknobs and Broomsticks." This film established the actress among the ranks of Disney power divas like Julie Andrews. ("Bedknobs and Broomsticks" is often compared to Mary Poppins).
Two decades later in 1991, Lansbury landed her second Disney role, this time as the beloved Mrs. Potts from Disney's classic animated movie, "Beauty and the Beast" and its sequels. This may be one of Lansbury's most loved roles and has secured her a place in the hearts of children and parents for decades to come.

I am a huge Disney fan. "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" is one of my favorites. The music and the songs from it still hold up very well.
ReplyDeleteI agree Jason, but I will add what I mentioned in my movie review-- the l-o-n-g version of "Portabello Road" in the extended version was, well, l-o-n-g! :-)
DeleteI vaguely remember Bedknobs and Broomsticks, but Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney movie.
ReplyDelete"Beauty and the Beast" is a charming film. I also enjoyed the holiday sequel (link above.) Thanks for letting us know which movies you like!
DeleteI vaguely remember bed knobs and broom sticks
ReplyDeleteYou can find it on Amazon for cheap if you want to give it another look. If you DO decide to order it, please order it from my Seekyt article as I get paid a percentage of the ads sale from my articles there!
DeleteTwo of my absolute favorites! Even though, thanks to my children, I know the soundtrack to every Disney movie by heart! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThat's what you get for raising kids... er, wait a minute... what's my excuse then?
