The overall feel of the movie is rather unique and different. Many of the special effects and things were probably pretty good for their time, but are very outdated and simple compared to today's movies. Still they are fairly impressive when you consider that they were done without computers.
Note that the title "Escape to Witch Mountain" is somewhat misleading because the movie has virtually nothing to do with witches. It's about two kids who have special powers, but thankfully these powers are not portrayed as being witchcraft. Some people in the movie start to think that they're witches, but they're actually just kids from another planet where people have abilities that earth people don't have, things like communicating telepathically, talking to animals, and controlling objects with their minds. Some of it is a bit spooky, but it's a very unique concept, and I like that it's not portrayed as being witchcraft.
It's a rather fun adventure that some people may like and others may find boring. For the most part I like it. Something about the ending seems a bit incomplete, but I don't really know what else they could've done it.
