Dumbo's Circus (1985)
Great kids show with live action characters like Dumbo.
I use to watch this show when I was young. It stars Dumbo as a live action huge puppet. It was life size with people inside the costumes. Other characters include the ringmaster, a bear, a goofy dog as the clown/magicion, Lilly a cat who does most of the actual tricks like trapeeze. There was also a ape who did cannonball and some other characters. there is always songs in the show and good clean themes. it ends each time with a side show with various small songs and moral lessons. Though out dated for todays kids was great in its time.
The Worst Witch (1986)
A misfit witch saves the school from destruction!
This movie is the cutest halloween movie made. Balk plays the lead, a girl attending the Private shool of witchcraft. She is the worst student there. Her friend (Mode) and principle (Mrs. Cackle) try to help her but she just seems to be no good at it. Her other classmate, such as Ethel hallow (who Mildred later turns into a pig), and teacher Miss. hardbroom give her a rough time. When Ethel makes Mildred ruin the halloween celebration where the grand wizzard, Tim Curry, is the special guest, she runs away. She finds new witches who want to take over the school. Of course the day is saved and the grand wizzard declares Mildred a hero. A great film where all actors give a good show. Balk is superb as the little witch who has a low self estem. A defenate see for all children in October.
