Synopsis:
An amateur witch befriends three children and takes them on a magical journey to a land inhabited by cartoon animals, where they get involved in a decidedly one-sided football match against a spoilt lion king. Disney's perky musical fantasy, starring Angela Lansbury, David Tomlinson, Roddy McDowall and Sam Jaffe, plus an appearance by veteran entertainer Bruce Forsyth. It's a cheery enough affair, but lacks the essential charm of offerings like Mary Poppins
