Tackling magic and war, this animated classic tells the story of three orphan siblings sent to live with a woman named Eglantine Price (Angela Lansbury). When the children find out that their new guardian is an apprentice witch, they are floored! Charlie Rawlins (Ian Weighill) decides to blackmail Ms. Price for a spell of his own. Ms. Price gives him a bedknob that has special powers and can transport Charlie anywhere. Their first trip takes them to a small English village where Ms. Price introduces the children to her witchcraft training headmaster, Emelius Brown (David Tomlinson). When she finds half of a spell that may be the most powerful of all, she sets out to locate the other half in hopes to end the war.
