Ben finds he can do difficult
things with ease...so much so
that he begins to wonder if the

by the LAKE are true...that
they are witches and they know
how to make things happen.
As Ben discover's the truth
of Regina, Ben finds a friend
who truly believes in him.

Sylvia Sidney (GRAMMY).

This is one of my favorite
movies and I have enjoyed others
post their renditions of
classics that are hard to find,
such as when I watched the
"Worst Witch" on youtube (another
80s Disney Channel classic) while
waiting for my DVD copy to come
in the mail. As of yet, no one
has done this with Ben Wagner so
I will. I tried doing a different
way which sucked and the files
got corrupted at the end, so
this one is right off my
computer.
Not only is my upload abridged
(to prompt viewers to get DVD)
but FamilyTV has also abridged
the movie on the DVD removing
some of the witchcraft refs.
but the movie still stands as
a great children's education
film (and even for adults who
need to be reminded) concerning
the value of:
self confidence, self realization,
self honesty, self respect, self
help, kindness, empathy and
true friendship.
i remember watching this movie on the Disney Channel (back when it was about Disney, not the BS it's become today). i haven't seen this movie in 20 years! thank you for posting!

I'm not really into the 80s and 80s movies that much (well that might be because I'm a 90s kid ^^) but this movie was really cute :) Thanx for uploading!
