80's Classics WITCHING of BEN WAGNER (part 1)

The WITCHING of BEN WAGNER (1987)
since renamed to
"BEN WAGNER" by FamilyTV.
Classic 80s from the
Disney Channel

"You can do it," says Regina.
"I KNOW you can!" appear to be
the Magick Words in Ben's Life
as a young boy discovers what
true magick is all about:
Believing in Yourself.

With Regina's encouragement,
Ben finds he can do difficult
things with ease...so much so
that he begins to wonder if the
rumors about the people living
by the lack 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.

Featuring: Sam Bottoms, Harriet
Hall, Betinna Rae (REGINA),
Justin Gocke (BEN) and
Sylvia Sidney (GRAMMY).

Based on the novel by:
Mary Jane Auch.

DVD just released, available
at amazon.com or from
1-800-FAMILY TV.

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.

[merlynstone]

yikes...! don't know that one I don't think. I'm not much of a pirate - but Ben Wagner and the Egyptian are not easy to find, which is why I loaded them. No one really stands to make money on them anymore. They dropped the "witch" title from Ben Wagner, but Disney still doesn't really want anything to do with it... ah well. Thanks for your interest... HEY!!! IF ANYONE READING this knows what movie is being described above let us know LOL!

@millebn28

The house part were filmed in Provo, Utah--I know because we lived 2 doors down and couldn' do dishes when they were filming because the water running was too loud and got picked up on the mikes!

@merlynstone Thanx for this,i know i may have said this before,get that same great feeling when i see the clips but miss some scene and dialogue as it takes out some flavor,im not one thats believes in new age,but i guess some people take things to litterallly.IVe been wishing for Disny to Show this again or if not have another channel show it,its a great film,im glad its on DVD but they shoul have an unaltered version for those of us who can separate factg form fantasy and still love the movie

[TubaDudeNick]

wtf why did you edit out the begining with the airplane?! that was sick!

[LaBellaSiena]

I remember this movie I watched it over an over on Disney and still have it on VHS somewhere...man the acting was so bad & corny haha

[millebn28]

Does anyone know where this movie was filmed?

[OliviaAndLove]

I love YT for showing alot of the stuff I enjoyed when I was younger. Haven't seen this in forever. Thanks for uploading this.

[bekki650]

I loved this movie as a kid... When I watch this now, I think the dialogue is a bit advanced for kids that age, but it still brings back great memories.
