I recently traveled to London and I made sure I went here. I used to watch this every time I went to my grandmother's house, so it has always been a childhood dream of mine to actually go to Portabello Road.
The entire time I walked along the street I had this song in my head, and I honestly half-expected people to be singing and dancing throughout the street! :D I blame the 6 year old version of me for that, though. ;) (Along with the countless number of times I tried to make my bed fly) :)
The spells of Asterot - It's odd how Disney always manages to include some form of pagan religion in their movies ... llike Cinderella's Lucifer for example ...
@JudePal Only in middle and modern Christianity is the word "Lucifer" another word for the devil. In pagan religion, Lucifer was often a word for the planet Venus, as the word means "bringer of light." The planet Venus left the sky just before sunrise, so was known as the bringer of light, or Lucifer. The prophet Isaiah compared the devil's falling from heaven to that of Venus. The word has come to mean devil in modern Christianity. The evil cat was given a name that equated it...
@JudePal ...to evil in a way that is easily intentifiable by the modern Christian. Furthermore, Astaroth was a demon who was first written about in 15th century Judism. The demon was named after Canaanite goddess Ashtoreth. The Canaanite religion was polythestic and idolatrous, but not pagan. Furthermore, Walt Disney (who may or may not have been a Mason/Illuminati) died 5 years before this film was released. There is often hidden symbolism in Disney films, but it is usually very subtle.
@lmcmilla1 This the 30th Anniversary Special DVD that added in all of the previously deleted scenes. There are added songs and scenes (lengthened songs, as well).
I am 19 and have seen this film about 5 times from a BBC recording years ago, but there are several parts that i havent seen as BBC obviously cut parts off :( thanks for uploading!
I know it's just a little Disney movie without a ton of merit, but Lansbury and Tomlinson have some of the best chemistry I've seen in any family movie. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
I watched as a kid, my kids watched n now my Grandkids watch it. There's something timeless about this movie. The Portobelo Road sequence is especially captivating. I don,t think it happened, but then again, during the Blitz such spirit was often rife.. Glad 3 generations have watched this. It's a firm favourite with all of us!!. :)
the portebelo street party ( for lack of a better word ) is one of my fav parts of the whole movie. thanks so much for posting these. im loving the restored footage!
Don't Bruce Forsythe look young here, it funny until watched this about several years ago on tv, never knew it was actually him as the bookmans heavy.
in Madrid, there is similar market where some people sell old broken stuff claming It was valuble. A nice place aswell howether you dont see much dancing there, ocasionally you hear good musitians playing different kinds of music
@Guernicaman it probably was at that point now its either been turned into DandG-prada-debenhams central or is full of market stalls selling even cheaper tat
And it gets worser and worser. I never watch the german Version again. The Song Portobello Road is only half in the German Version.But the Film in English is great
lol being a highland (scottish) dancer... im moderately embarassed for disney at their sad attempt at it... but at least they tried i suppose... so that earns some brownie points in my book ^^
lol being in the scottish army doesnt mean u can highland dance lol... i would bet next to none of the guys in the scottish battalions know how... only the guys in any of the pipe bands actually have to learn... and let me tell you... what you see in this movie certainly isnt what they learn XD (tho it is still nice to see it in the movie regardless)
LOL! That's what they never tell you in musicals - it's all very well singing about how awesome life is and dancing in the street, until the police take notice and ask for your details... :|
Well, this was my childhood :) loved this :) even though if it's an oldie, stil goodie. So great to be a part of 20th century. :)
