Escape To Witch Mountain

I saw this at the suggestion of tptigger for whom it is an old favourite.

First thing I have to say is that I think I was too old for this. It also didn't help that the worldbuilding was straight from Zenna Henderson's "People" stories -- yes, yes, you can't steal an idea, but the similarity made for an unfortunate comparison.

That isn't to say I disliked it. I was just doing inappropriate things like laughing at the hairstyles of the country folk and the cars they were driving. And thinking that Donald Pleasance would make a good Phil Coulson (all unflappable and BAMF) but he would have been typecast as a HYDRA villain instead. I have to say that the foreshadowing of the dogs, from the title sequence onwards, was well done. And Tony and Tia had the siblings vibe going strong - supporting each other, but also eyerolling at each other - "No, Tia, we can't bring the bear with us..."

Plotholes... I won't talk about the plotholes...
