Programme Information

Classic Disney fantasy set in World War II England, where three child evacuees from London discover that their guardian is an amateur witch. With the help of a bogus professor, and with a bed as their magic carpet, they set out to help win the war by finding the missing fragment of a spell that will bring inanimate objects to life. A hilarious sequence blends cartoon characters with live action.
