● “Feature Film” – Escape to Witch Mountain
○ Tia and Tony are two orphaned youngsters with extraordinary powers. Lucas Deranian poses as their uncle in order to get the kids into the clutches of Deranian's megalomaniacal boss, evil millionaire Aristotle Bolt, who wants to exploit them. Jason, a cynical widower, helps Tia and Tony "escape to witch mountain," while at the same time Tia and Tony help Jason escape the pain of the loss of his wife.
○ Film Trivia - IMDB
■ The character of Tia in the flashback sequences was played by Kim Richards' real-life younger sister Kyle Richards.
■ Kim Richards and Ike Eisenmann, who play the children in this movie and in Return from Witch Mountain (1978), appeared in a scene in Race to Witch Mountain (2009). Eisenmann is "Sheriff Antony" in the bar, and Richards is "Tina" the waitress. In this movie and its 1978 sequel, their names were similar: "Tony" and "Tia", respectively.
■ At one point during the fight scene between Tony and Truck, Dermott Downs punched the bat so hard, it hit Ike Eisenmann. In some scenes, despite the make-up department's best efforts, you can see a greenish bruise under his left eye.
■ Knowing that it was an integral part of the story, Ike Eisenmann (Tony) bought a harmonica and taught himself to play it, unaware that he would be dubbed in the end by professional harmonica player Tommy Morgan.
■ The primary cat who portrayed Winky was temperamental and difficult with which to work, particularly for Ike Eisenmann (Tony), who sustained numerous cuts and scratches from the feline.
■ The Pine Woods Orphanage was actually Peninsula School of Creative Education in Menlo Park, California. The secluded sixty-room mansion was built in 1880 and converted into a school in 1925. There are countless stories of hauntings in the mansion, which were played up in the original press materials for this movie.
■ The marionettes from the playroom sequence continue to be used for performances at the Bob Baker Marionette Theater, which has been designated as a historic landmark in Los Angeles, California.
■ The name of the mysterious item that Tia carried around, which contained a map, was a "star case". Tia's star case, which housed the map to Witch Mountain, had an additional purpose in the novel. In Key's novel, Tia was mute (but communicate telepathically with Tony) and carried pencils and paper in the star case to write notes to people.
■ In one scene, Tony and Tia go on an outing to see the movie Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937).

○ Rise of Skywalker Ticket Sales prove fan boycott to be empty threat
■ When tickets for The Rise of Skywalker went on sale this past Monday, media outlets were quick to publish stories that the film’s pre-sales outpaced Avengers: Endgame for its first hour on Atom Tickets. This caused the TLJ fans to claim victory over the boycotters and tout that their side has won. However, while the first hour sales may have been really high, the total first-day sales fell behind Endgame. It’s still impressive though and those first-day sales are 2.5 times what TLJ did.
