Return from Witch Mountain is a sequel to Escape to Witch Mountain (1975) (1975), which was based on Escape from Witch Mountain (1968), a young adult novel written by American science fiction writer Alexander Key. The screenplay for Return from Witch Mountain was written by British screenwriter Malcolm Marmorstein and was followed by a made-for-TV sequel, Beyond Witch Mountain (1982), in 1982. Another installment in the saga, Race to Witch Mountain (2009), is planned for release in 2009.
While it is informative to know how Tia (Kim Richards) and Tony (Ike Eisenmann) came to earth from a dying planet, got separated from their people when their ship capsized, and only found them again after six years when they made it to Witch Mountain (where their people have established a colony), it is not imperative to have knowledge of the events in Escape to Witch Mountain in order to understand the events in Return from Witch Mountain. The opening scenes, where Tia, Tony, and Uncle Bené (Denver Pyle) arrive at the Rose Bowl in their flying saucer, make it obvious that they are aliens and that they have certain paranormal abilities.
No specific time is given. However, Uncle Bené does say that Tia and Tony have been working hard at building their community on Witch Mountain and that it's time for them to take a little vacation to see museums and learn about how the human world works. It's easy to see by looking at Tia and Tony that they have grown up from the ages of nine and eleven as presented in the first movie. Since the two movies were filmed three years apart, it's fairly safe to assume that Tia and Tony have aged equivalently and are now about 12 and 14 years old respectively.
That was a Citroën DS. Made in France.
