This is the only Disney film I was allowed to see as a child. Probably because it had little enough 'American' stuff for my parents to be satisfied. Even now I can hum/whistle this theme by heart.
@EmperorOfEurope Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee. It's the word to the spell for Substitutiary Locomotion, the spell that vexes Eglantine--the main character--until the near end of the film. In the battle scene at the end of the film (with the German soldiers), you'll hear the soldiers chant this up until they get right on top of the soldiers.
@EmperorOfEurope Later in the movie they show the phrase written down, which is "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee." Though "mekoides" appears to be ancient Greek, the other words appear Latin. The entire phrase appears to be gibberish and not have any meaning, though the phrase "TRES CORVM SATIS DI" appears to roughly translate to "3 hearts satisfy the gods" or "3 hearts are sufficient for the day" possibly a reference to the 3 children in the movie
@EmperorOfEurope It's Treguna, Mekoides, Trecorum, Sadis Dee. If you watch the film, you'll find it's actually [SPOILER ALERT!] the spell needed to bring inanimate objects to life. As for whether or not the words have any literal meaning, I don't think so. I wouldn't think so, but I can't say for sure.
@EmperorOfEurope "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee" is the correct spelling. In the movie, it is the spoken spell for Substitutiary Locomotion which brought the armor to life to fight the Nazis. It means "Giving Life to Things Without." However, it is pseudo-Latin and Greek, making it nonsense. A literal translation from Greek and Latin would get you "Rough up three goats sufficiently until they become dizzy." Or something like that!
@EmperorOfEurope The soldiers sing "Treguna mecoides trecorum satis dee" which is of course the sustitutiary locomotion spell from the movie. However, it is in fact a nonsense phrase, made to seem like a Latin incantation.
@EmperorOfEurope Hello, there! I've look for it in the Internet to find that is: Treguna mekoides trecorum satis Dee. Its just nonsense words. But are rythmic, aren't they?
@EmperorOfEurope ht(TAKE out THIS whole SPACE)tp://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s320x320/225632_172266516164044_124443477613015_427974_3146491_n.jpg (you might need facebook)
I am not the kind of guy that only looks to the past e ignore the present. But it's sad to see that they don't make more fantasy child movies like that. Today to call your attention, they just full it of CGI stuff without that powerfull images and music that really catch your imagination.
@fernandoaldado I totally agree. CGI does not carry the same impact and magic as true artistic form does, and the painstaking work of frame to frame drawing. CGI is just hollow.
Oh man I never noticed how perfectly they made this opening, with each picture shown having something to do with their assigned role. Right from the Director of Cinematography with him holding a lantern (as they're responsible for doing the lighting) to the Editor having a guy sat at his desk looking at plans XD. I love it!
Does this movie come in Blu-Ray? I want to buy a copy so desperately. I love, love this movie as a kid then and as an adult now. I have two kids living next door whom I love to share this movie! Ithink every child should see this along with Mary Poppins!
I always loved this movie as a kid!!! My favorite movie by far!!! I haven't seen it since I was about 7 so I'm buying a copy soon! I always thought it was so eerie and mysterious in a good way with the ties to medieval and witchcraft!
Angela's last movie she made in a hollywood studio... she's still the actress we all know and love on and off broadway and J.B. Fletcher on tv's Murder, She Wrote
I loved this movie as a kid, and I will always continue to love it. This movie will always be a part of my life as I continue on as it was a portal to my imagination, and partly responsible for my love of history.
Whenever I decide to have kids, I will make sure that they watch this film so they can experience the magic of this wonderful film.
@metalhead531 It is amazing how a film we see or a story we hear as a child can have such a huge impact on who we become. I have some movies, stories and songs that are a big part of who I am too.
@TheColaGoodfellow i noticed it as well. I thought it may have some relevance to the bayeux tapestry, on which the artwork of this title is based, but i've checked photos of it, and it only has black lettering. Who knows, maybe they thought it might fit
These might be my favorite opening credits to a movie. EVER. And that's saying a lot, considering the amount of movies I've seen in my lifetime.
I was taking an online Art History class, in which the Bayeux Tapestry was displayed and discussed. I immediately figured out that these opening credits were a clever homage to it. ^^
@LoreneFaith I think what would be really cool is if someone would actually make the awesome title opening into a real tapestry. Although...that may lead to the danger of future generations believing that these events happened in 1066 as well XD
@WillScarlet16: I agree, and the funny thing is that if one is not paying attention carefully to the tapestry, it's almost like they're telling you the story before showing the story. That's one of the interesting parts about this.
This is one of my favourite films and it's glad for me to see bits and pieces and the entire film on YouTube.
One of the best Disney films ever made! It's also has one of the best film score too! The music in the opening is the best! This film could put modern Disney movies to shame!
@MotownConnoisseur30 Back then I prefered this hundred times over Mary Poppins ... the quest for a magical spell to help battling a german invasion of GB was just far more epic than taking care of some brats and moralize them ...
@ZomboDeZany I loved Julie Andrews, and Dick Van Dike was funny, but there was no real plot ... the football match from B&B was even better than the animated parts of MP.
I like how the figures on the tapestry reflect the credits being listed - the builders for the art and set directors, the weaver for costumes and hairstylists, the monks for the screenwriters, the two musicians for the Shermans, the dancers for the choreographer, and best of all, for the technical consultants - a fortuneteller!
Ohh I adore this movie, in my opinion the BEST Disney movie :D EVER. And yes, this intro' is classic and lovely, beautiful artwork and music. Thank you for posting it, so nice. Hehe, I watched this with my Grandma last night, she likes it too :->
It was very clever of them to compare the attempted Nazi invasion to the last time England was invaded by William the Conqueror in 1066. Probably also why they used scene reminiscent of the Bayeaux Tapestry.
The music score, epecially in this opening, is pure classic. Angela Lansbury and David Tomlinson are real legends, and the film is definitely one of the better films that came out after Walt's death.
This is also the film that inspired me to become an artist.
Somehow I'm fairly certain the 10th century Norman authors of the Bayeux Tapestry didn't originally have Nazi's with automatic weapons in the final draft :P
@oregongrap I don't know if anyone else ever mentioned this, but it occurred to me that there are shades of irony there, when you consider that this sequence depicts heroic (enchanted) English soldiers repelling an invasion of England, while the original Bayeux Tapestry depicts the successful invasion OF England.
It always used to scare me too; especially the floating armour during the final battle. But now I can appreciate the film for it's dark beauty and wonderful score.
What a beautiful hidden gem Bedknobs and Broomsticks is. The music is among my favorites from Disney. I don't have a lesser favorite. And the story, are you kidding?! Wizards don't just exist in Hogwartz. We have our classic Disney right here!
I realy like the way even though these films are for kids, they teach people alot of history, that i notice know i am older but i wouldnt off when i was younger, like the way in this film they show all different people from the british empire. and the way they portray British history and culture.
Listen around 1:28-1:40 and you will hear a little bit of the deleted song "A Step in the Right Direction". This song was intended for the movie but ultimately dropped. It can now only be found on the movie soundtrack. I don't know if it was ever filmed.
@DisneyFan16672 The "Step in the Right Direction" sequence was filmed, but the material has since been lost, presumed destroyed. All that survives are some photographs of the scene taken as it was filmed. These are available on most editions of the DVD, and have been assembled in order and set to the music.
Also present in this overture is a snippet of Mr. Brown's song, "With a Flair", which was also deleted from the theatrical cut but restored to most later TV edits and all DVD editions.
I have not heard that there is an extended version. I would love to see it myself! I would recommend that you search on amazon or ebay for it. If I find a good source I will let you know!
Well I know if I had a country, Irwin Kostal's Overture version of Substitutiary Locomotion would be the national anthem. In fact, the whole overture would be because it's too damn awesome for words. I love the beginning, a little mystic but heavy on the boldness! Love it! Love every single second of this piece of music!
Disney sure has been good to David Tomlinson. He's co-starred with both Julie Andrews and Angela Lansbury in two great musical classics! That's some pretty fantastic company, especially for a singer!
BROOMSTICKS AT THE READY!!!! FIRE! WELL DONE GENERAL!

This always scared me silly when I was younger, lol!
Can't figure out why though o.O

It always used to scare me too; especially the floating armour during the final battle. But now I can appreciate the film for it's dark beauty and wonderful score.

What a beautiful hidden gem Bedknobs and Broomsticks is. The music is among my favorites from Disney. I don't have a lesser favorite. And the story, are you kidding?! Wizards don't just exist in Hogwartz. We have our classic Disney right here!

I realy like the way even though these films are for kids, they teach people alot of history, that i notice know i am older but i wouldnt off when i was younger, like the way in this film they show all different people from the british empire. and the way they portray British history and culture.

Best opening credits ever. I love how they took inspiration from the Bayeaux Tapestry.

Listen around 1:28-1:40 and you will hear a little bit of the deleted song "A Step in the Right Direction". This song was intended for the movie but ultimately dropped. It can now only be found on the movie soundtrack. I don't know if it was ever filmed.

@DisneyFan16672 The "Step in the Right Direction" sequence was filmed, but the material has since been lost, presumed destroyed. All that survives are some photographs of the scene taken as it was filmed. These are available on most editions of the DVD, and have been assembled in order and set to the music.
Also present in this overture is a snippet of Mr. Brown's song, "With a Flair", which was also deleted from the theatrical cut but restored to most later TV edits and all DVD editions.

I wonder where I could buy the DVD version of this movie because I heard the DVD version has an extended version of this film.
Spongero29 3 years ago
I have not heard that there is an extended version. I would love to see it myself! I would recommend that you search on amazon or ebay for it. If I find a good source I will let you know!

I just thought how cool it would be if Britain had a national anthem like the music at 02:34 lol. Very bold and patriotic indeed :P

It would make a wonderful national anthem!
LoreneFaith 3 years ago
Well I know if I had a country, Irwin Kostal's Overture version of Substitutiary Locomotion would be the national anthem. In fact, the whole overture would be because it's too damn awesome for words. I love the beginning, a little mystic but heavy on the boldness! Love it! Love every single second of this piece of music!

Disney sure has been good to David Tomlinson. He's co-starred with both Julie Andrews and Angela Lansbury in two great musical classics! That's some pretty fantastic company, especially for a singer!
mrchuckmorris 3 years ago 3
He stars in two of my favorite Disney classics. I wonder what else he had a major role in.
LoreneFaith 3 years ago
Well, we certainly can't forget Herbie: The Love Bug. Although, he was the bad guy in that one.
