Event Details
Disney produced this initial chapter of its Witch Mountain series during its Dark Age. It follows two orphaned siblings, Tony and Tia, who possess mysterious psychic powers; Tony can move objects with his harmonica, while Tia can communicate telepathically and manifest premonition. When the evil, wealthy Aristotle Bolt, and his employee, Lucas Deranian, learn about these enigmatic traits, they plan a wicked scheme to kidnap the siblings. Against the lush greenery of valleys and beautiful ocean, Tony and Tia’s dangerous escape from Bolt turns into a charming, endearing adventure when Jason O’Day, a widower camper, joins them in search of a place indicated on a map hidden in Tia’s star case, an item she carries with her at all times.
