    I rather enjoyed this movie as a child. Though a bit old fashioned, in effects and screening it was always one of my favorites. It's not one that is like the newest that came out today, but for sure a Classic in my opinion. I was always glad that it was the same kids from the first movie playing the roles and really liked seeing it again. I can't see many appreciating it as much as I do, but nostalgic thoughts aside: Average special effects for its time, somewhat funny acting, and goofy music.

    Interesting story line. Christopher Lee always makes a good "bad guy"!

    Even in 1978 Disney was a big studio. So why didn't they get ILM to do the special FX? I felt sorry for Lee and Davis whose talents were wasted on what amounted to be a telemovie or Sunday-night special. The kids were at that awkward age. And the voices were dubbed in all of the outdoor scenes. It's like they spent zero capital on updating their film equipment. The first movie was better in all aspects.
