- This is a clip from one of my favorite Walt Disney movies, from 1971 "Bedknobs and Broomsticks". This is the battle scene after the Historic Soldiers are brought to life by Substitutiary Locomotion under the direction of the lovely and talented Angela Lansbury.

“I’ve always wanted to use that spell.”
- Professor McGonagall
Is till think that scene is a tribute to this
Lol
So Miss. Price is what happens when a muggle born’s parents refuse to allow them to go to Hogwarts. She tries to learn magic from a mail school taught by a muggle (squib?) who finds a lesson book and decided to teach a mail school.
Yes i always see the Harry Potter scene like a tribute for one of the greatest witch of UK.

People goin’ on about Murder She Wrote and Beauty and the Beast, but this is how I’ll always remember Angela Lansbury- as a witch fighting nazis from her broomstick. RIP ❤
Me, too.
On the news and other programs, they kept showing scenes from all her other movies.
But for me, this is the role I'll always remember her in.
❤😔❤
Agreed! This is her most memorable scene for me at least
Yeah, I get it. However, I'll also always think of her as the sweetly murderous princess in the Danny Kaye film, The Court Jester! 😁
@@robertmcpherson1617
"The Court Jester" is a great movie, especially the song "A Jester Unemployed is Nobody's Fool."
Another thought:
I wonder if Professor McGonagall was slyly referring to Angela's spell when the professor said, "I've always wanted to try that spell!" when she animated the Hogwarts statues in the school's defense.
RIP Angela Lansbury. What a legend. This is still one of my favourite scenes from any film.
she was certainly a great actress
😢
Me too
She was the best Mrs. Potts ever
Totally agree!!!!
This scene warms my heart. Just seeing these old soldiers from history (or their armor, technically) coming together against a great evil. That’s symbolism right there
You took the words right out of my mouth lol😂
So just so we're clear, this is a *Disney* movie where a witch uses black magic to summon up the souls of the damned and then uses her undead army to fight Nazis.
...This is the greatest film ever made.
Not the souls of the Damned..you are wrong..British Dead and some Vikings as well I think...but modern history may describe them thus..but I agree ..sort of the best film ever made! Respect doornik1142
they were German Soldiers, not Nazi's. infact, less than 25% of the Wehrmacht was a Nazi.
OMG LOOK AT YOUR LIKES LOLOLOLOL
NOT black magic and where do you get souls of the damned from - it's the souls of fallen heroes, you moron! If only it worked on drumph and HIS fascists!
@@specialunit0428 Dude, quit the Wehraboo bullshit.
One of Disney's most underrated flicks
And would never be made in today...
Agreed
@@dboymax1 Thats the catch isn't it.
Their is stuff today that would never have been touched on in that day and age.
For example, a black/asian/pacific islander princesses. That movie took decades before Disney even considered.
Culture changes and grows.

@@thewingedhussar4188 Well, that's a movie I won't watch.
@@odysseusrex5908 what ?
i love the reactions of the armors when the scottish start to play their bagpipes, watching each other like "wth is that?" or "they are with you?" "no, i thought they were with you"

Iconic. RIP Angela Lansbury
Lots of history between the English and the Scotts- extremely rare to see them on both sides for once lol.
@@SeanBeckwith92 The only thing we hate more than each other is Nazis

It actually means, I call upon the fallen, awake in Aramaic

This scene always weirded me out as a kid. It was one of those scenes where you weren't SCARED, perse, more like morbidly fascinated.
I agree. I loved it, but was a bit freaky!
It sticks in a young mind, that's for sure.
I loved this scene! I even drew fanart of it as a kid even.
@Constantine Palaiologos Still gives me goosebumps, and you don't see much that does it like this did.
So true
And that's the true story of how Angela Lansbury almost won World War II.
+Jonathon Cowley That was just a scouting party for Christ's sake. That wasn't the whole goddamn Wehrmacht.
Pzkw V This was a decisive engagement that could have changed the entire course of history.
Jonathon Cowley lol, Yes 15 german soldiers vs old suits of armor and a witch
+Pzkw V had it happened i think the report of what happened might have delayed attack plans significantly
James Mccarthy I don't think the High Command would have believed them. They probably would have thought they got drunk
1:30 - My favourite part of the entire film. Banners, armours, and uniforms from every period of UK history marching as one to repel an invader. For King and Country!
What messes with me is that the UK was pretty pro Nazi before they were attacked and the UK is generally the invader killing and subjugating innocents. So many millions of people in India alone... The Germans were just jumping on the trend
The greatest scene in Disney history.
Awesome how they gather to battle one last time
It rather puts me in mind if the Excalibur/King Arthur legend...
I really like 4:10 as well. Where all the soldiers are slowly marching forward saying Treguna, mekoides, and trecorum satis dee. It’s epic. That feeling of the impending doom but brought forth by good forces. Which is unusual to see.
I just came back to this scene after hearing about Angela Lansbury's passing. She will forever be to me Miss Price, Jessica Fletcher, Mrs. Lovett, and Mrs. Potts.
R.I.P. Angela Lansbury
Many people don't know of her role as Mrs Lovett, but it was amazing as well. She will be greatly missed.
@@jadaatkinson1201 Unfortunately, copyright has made the full film of the play Sweeney Todd starring George Hearn rare or otherwise inaccessible. But there are clips of it on UA-cam.
If it was only a reality-based history lesson image the hilarious results.
I didn't even know she passed. I've had too much going on. Always loved this movie. And, Murder, She Wrote is one of my favorite TV shows.
And Eleanor shaw in the Manchurian candidate (1962)
The thing that really catches in my throat is that all these costumes are of soldiers of different periods of history, often opposite sides (Roundheads and Caviliers). But here they're all fighting alongside one another as a single army to protect the land..
stainlesssteelfox1 correct but all those armies had one thing in common at least. duty a duty to their land, and now it is threatened and a spell gave them a chance to fight to defend it. A good enough reason do you agree?
Absolutely.
glad you agree enjoy your day
stainlesssteelfox1 It's a wonderful thing, isn't it. Everybody, even the most severe of enemies can get along even in death to defend the place they called home.
All it takes to unite humanity is a common enemy.
Best necromancy scene in cinema. A lone witch, summoning the spirits of soldiers past, to stand for their Queen and Country, for one final battle. This is beauty. This is glory. This, is what magic is about.
wel there where no ghost it was literly te armor that got alive by te spel
before te used that spel and al there clothing got alive
Agreed if I was a mage practicing magic I would so do this
You are right. This is why i love your country and your history so much. And....well...i am italian :)
King at this point in history, but agreed.
Elizabeth 2nd watches this film with phillip before donald trump is due
they look at each othe r well phillip a descendant of mine did witch craft
phillips what ?
Hearing her voice echo in that old armory gives my chills of anticipation each time. RiP
Actually its not an armory
Agreed, if I had been a German soldier there and was seeing this and hearing them chant, (which is kind of spooky), I would start thinking that the whole of England was haunted and protected by ghosts of British soldiers from ages past and want to get the hell out of there
@@Lightingwarrior. The whole of England is haunted
Rewatched this scene after hearing the news. She truly brought magic to every role she did. RIP Dame Angela Lansbury
This scene is like when the Chinese army fought the huns in Mulan.
4:21 when the armor start to sing.... that gave me chills when I was little!
+SP Inc. Still does for me XD So awesome
+Kira Aotsuki me too :)
Same! It still does.
they're not singing, they're chanting
+SP Inc. It always reminded me of the Orcs chanting at Helm's Deep in Bakshi's Lord of the Rings.
The executioner was the stuff of nightmares for me when I was a kid. Oddly enough, he was also my favorite.
We called him "Square Mouth" and cheered when he came on screen.
Same XD
One of the better Disney films of the 70s era.way better than freaky Friday.
This was released December 1971.and I believe it made up for happiest millionaire and one and only family band.
Didn't help they gave him creepy as f music
On October 11, 2022, it Angela Lansbury passed away. While this was not her most iconic role, it was, perhaps, a defining one.
In Memoriam.
She'll always be "Murder she wrote lady" to me. With her gone, Cabot Cove is finally safe now. Mrs. Fletcher did all those murders you know. Every single one of them. The most insidious serial killer in human history & they never suspected.
It was the role that I primarily know her for. Good place to start. R.I.P.
May her soul rest in peace
The bagpipes on the cliff!! So good 😍 captain’s face of disbelief and fear is priceless. It’s war time!
Colonel, not Captain.
the Scots were known to scare the Germans lol
It was at that moment the Nazis began to fear kilted soldiers.
@@grimgrinners The bagpipes are designed to be heard for mils across valley and mountains. A good example of them were the Beijin Olympics, wherein once they entered the arena, they were heard no matter where they were.
@@grimgrinners Germans had faced Highlanders before- there was a Scottish unit in WWI, got nicknamed "The Ladies from Hell"
I like how that one knight takes off his foot, empties the bullets out of it, and just knocks the guy out with it.
"PARRY THIS YOU FILTHY CASUAL"
I just find it so funny how un-bothered he is by the whole "haunted ghost army" thing. Actually they all are. Don't know if they're brave or stupid, but if I saw that coming towards me I'd be terrified. And probably have to radically reassess my views on the paranormal.
It was in the script.
I was reading your comment just as that part came on. Thinking the same thing.
@@olivercuenca4109 I’d think the enemy used some gas to cause mass hallucinations.
This scene has a so important symbolic value,here are many different factions and armies from Britain's history which often fought each other in numberless civil wars,but they all cooperate against stranger invasion.
There are also the Castilla and Leon soldiers from 1400s Spain
Yeah, I agree. It nice those old soldier forces fought against those nazis. I like to think they the original souls from those periods who wish to help England again. How else would you explain them saying the spell over and over.
It's a bit like inter-branch rivalries in the Armed Forces of any given country.
"I don't like you, and you don't like me, but we're all playing for the same team, so let's kill these bastards first and kill each other afterwards!"
Just noticed it! As a kid I really didn’t pick up on details like that. This film will always have a place with me.
Until it's muslims who invade, then no one unites against the evil invaders
I’ve always loved how these knights just flex by only stopping to empty the bullets from their armour. So badass, oh my gosh I can’t even express it.
To be fair, the last time that armour was used there wouldn't have been machine guns, so it's only natural for it to be a bit bewildered (also it's been magically gifted life out of no where and is expected to repel a small invasion force 🙂).
i love how the shook his binoculars thinking there was something wrong with them
This whole scene is my absolute favorite, because first of the bagpipes sounding off just gives chills every time (how ironic and funny when you are a grown up and know the bad blood between britains and scots that they are on the same side in this, just moutdropping)
Second is this makes me lose my cool and just gets me to tearlaugh because of the nazi firing at them and the armors just casuly just takes off their helmet or a boot to emty them from bullets. I always lose it with the one with the boot. Clinks in its steps, takes off the boot, emptys it and just hinks over to the nazi soldier and gongs him on the head with said boot. That is comedy🤣👍
Sometimes the best way to win a battle isn’t to fight, but to prove that you have the power to win
When all the knights are marching toward the Nazis reciting the incantation “Traguna macoydes and tracorum saitus dee” together at 4:20, it gives me goosebumps every time!👌🏻
its at that moment you know pants were filled with crap that evening
That's the point that the commander of an advance unit should reassess if they're equipped to fight the enemy they're up against. 😂
Its also a note that by chanting the spell, they are giving the spell strength, allowing them to advance. So they are empowering themselves.
That and when you first hear the pipes and drums and see the helmets scan the area like "Okay...time to whoop ass"
When you think about it, as much as it is epic for us, the audience, seeing a whole army of animated armors chanting some occult spell with a witch flying above, that must have been terrifying for the Nazis. Goosebumps indeed!
When I watched Prof Mcgonagall called the statutes of ancient armies to fight for the school i also reminded me of this scene of this movie.
J.K Rowling probably had seen this movie as a girl. Also, the fact that Emilius was able to provide a pretty substantial correspondence course using materials that he had looted from abandoned houses indicates a substantial wizarding population in London at the time.
Me too. Funny that McGonagall's animated statues (and suits of armour) were over 50 years later, maybe she was partly inspired by Miss Price. I read that baby Minerva used to make bagpipes play on their own, so there's even a chance they were both animating bagpipes at the same time. 😉
@@jmcenanly1 I'm going to guess that she did and this scene was the inspiration.
Same here
Maybe miss price is young mcgonnagal
How can an action scene where historic soldiers kick the asses of Nazis be this underrated?
I know right
Britain taking no Sh##,we shall never never be slaves.
Mr Christmas Mouse''And they will look down on us and say: This is when they were at their best''
You simply run the market for them for hundreds of years. Lol, but seriously I get it. Never say die and never admit defeat.
+mr christmas mouse But how things are going probably there will be a muslim king in the uk in the future.
This scene was always so powerful to me. All these different factions from English history rising up again to fight back and terrify the nazis.
The poor confused museum caretakers the next morning would have been funny to see.
Also never realised exactly how large a number the army was, that's a lot of costumes in that museum.
It was an Armour and weapons museum, and likely had a large number of stocks not on display. A lot of museums have "rotation" items they swap out. The National Museum has a stock almost as big as whats on display. Most of these would have been replicas, but still to the point. It likely had an example at least for every kind of troop. For example, the standard Barers had an array of mixed family crests on them, representing various factions and families. They would have been in a "standard" showcase together to show various examples of their type of banner. This is why very few of the Armours are identical and there's a right mixture. The Saxon Axeman, for example, theres only 1 of him, so he was likely put in to show off how scary a double handed axeman was (they were). I imagine 3 or so of the horse Armours at most were on display, while 8 at least were out back.
@@AngelEmfrbl I wondered if some of the armour and weapons were from other museums in towns that were at higher risk of bombing, and had been transferred there for safety against being destroyed.
Consider this: the spell is SO powerful, that she effectively raised 1000 years of ghosts of British soldiers (and history) to defend "Albion" from external invasion and occupation. This is more or less the case, when she initiates the locomotive spell on all the stashed arms and armour of the British museums, sent out to be hidden in the countryside to protect them from the Blitz.
RIP Angela Lansbury. You made this scene come to life.
She certainly did. I will always remember her in this movie and Beauty and the Beast.😢
man i wish this movie would get more love by ppl becuase if you asked me this is one of the most underrated disney movies of all time.
I would totally agree, this film was part of my childhood, and in my opinion even today without bias, it's still good with or without the cut parts that were included in the DVD version.
I also have a DVD Version of ("Bedknobs And Broomsticks") (" ENCHANTED MUSICAL EDITION") as a Sidenote only 3 Spells seemed to actually get things going the Locomotion Spell see the above clip from the film/The Travelling Spell (On the Bed) and turning into a White Rabbit even though that spell doesn't last very long.
@Undead King yep! Best check online and buy a copy, I'd say. Worth every penny
I wouldn't so much say it is "one of the most underrated disney movies of all time" as "the only good disney movie ever". It's not underrated, it gets plenty of respect, the problem is that the rest of disney trash is stupidly hyped.
I will admit there are some ok movies but for movies this is one if not the best made
This whole scene is just magnificent. The effects still look great today, there's some great laughs and that chanting always sends shivers down my spine. It's like the spell awakened the spirits of the soldiers and warriors, it called to them and they answered.
"Men! Your country needs you once again! Go now, to battle! Repel the invaders! Take up your arms! Do your duty! For England!"
"I see you standing like grey hounds in the slips. Upon the start the game is afoot follow your spirit. Cry God for Harry, England and St George!"
treguna mekoides trecorum satis dee...treguna mekoides trecorum satis dee... treguna mekoides trecorum satis dee
This was one of the movies I watched on repeat when I was tiny, and honestly the beginning of this scene still gives me shivers. The Portobello Road dance sequence is the other highlight for me.
I've only seen "Bedknobs & Broomsticks" once or twice, and this whole scene raises the hairs on my neck in the best way possible. As an adult, I can appreciate the representation of all the historic armed forces of That Sceptred Isle. But, being half-Scot, I still tear up a little when they bring in the pipers. It's like, "You Germans are TOAST...the Scots are here!"
Angela Lansbury, on her broom, with a saber and a Brodie helmet, flying the Union Flag...that's not a bad image, either.
@@MizzWGGrrrl Also what gets me, is you know that had she wanted, each of the soldiers would be dead. But through her magic, she was able to repel them but spare their lives. Love that smirk as shes riding her broom, like "I could have made this so much worse for you and your men"
Angela Lansbury's greatest moment. Perfectly cast for this movie.
Fun Fact: The role of Eglantine Price was originally intended for Julie Andrews, but she turned it down.
She deserved an Oscar Nomination for this film in my opinion.
@@eamonndeane587 true
still in awe of the practical effects and incredible patriotism 20 years after the first watch! rip Angela Lansbury 😭😭😭❤️
it is a lovely war time film
The moment where the German officer stares at his binoculars and shakes them is just priceless.
In that moment he's thinking: "No, it couldn't be. I did not just see that."
Whoever puppeteered the soldiers at 9:25, just, wow. Not sure if that was an accident, but either way, it was always one of my favorite parts because of how perfect the scene looks.
Agreed. Friends always argued that that part was the "least realistic" but I thought they collapsed in a way that not only showed the witches power ebbing away (hence the deflating balloon-like sound) but also in a way that showed the soldiers were returning to their rest.
Holy shit yea... that soldier looked like he really slumped to the ground
if I'm not mistaken they used people in some of the suits and removed their faces and stuff later. some of the armours without heads you can tell they did that. aswell as using cloth mannequins with string.
I thought they were just using costumes that were a head taller than the ones wearing them.
6:37 Average Monsoon boss fight experience
The armours are not really soldiers!.
The german soldier sitting in the legs 8:25 allways made me laugh as a child 😂
Let's be real here. This was our favorite part when we were kids
Yep!😊
Yep yep
I'll be real: it was my favorite part alongside the Portobello Road number. I think they were the same level for me.
❤ absolutely 💯
When I went to the Edinburgh tattoo in 2017, the music reminded me of this scene
Pretty good effects of the day and I have to say it puts some of the modern cg effects to shame
It won an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects
Yes it does
saddly the childs of today would find it awkward, since they're too used to cgi...
alejandro barahona I think children are more forgiving than you think
A lot of it is just small actors in outsized suits, plus puppeteering. But in my opinion it's cooler then some cgi. This films on the remake list... That means in the next few years...
1:07 That sword-drawing must be one of the most stylish and badass moves I've seen. Way to show the audience it's time to get serious.
This is similar to the mountain fight in Mulan!.
that museum has one hell of a collection
Miss Price brought the armours to life temporarily.
if there is one image that has stuck with me since my childhood it is the unending wave of steel, of sword and shield. the cold unfeeling faces of death marching straight, slow, and true, to stare into the face of death and make him blink.
god! i love this movie. how could something be so scary and so badass?
answer: its ghost knights kicking nazi ass whats NOT to like?
I think it's actually eerie when you see that slow, unrelenting advance of faceless suits of armor marching through the mist.
It would be really terrifying if they hadn’t had such an epic defiant score of music accompanying them. Imagine it, would have been like a ghost story, suits of armour coming up with no background music.
I grew up watching this movie and playing Age of Empires... this scene was everything I ever wanted to be real.
Everton Dimeck Yes!
This comment is probably top ten of all times. Very much agree!
The colonel's reaction is epic! (shakes his binoculars)
Like what the devil is with these binoculars!?😂
oh man watching this like 20 years later makes me realise a lot of things
Like how witches and knights are the original AntiFa?
@@loadeddice4696 Well Italians were the original Antifa as Italy was the first country to adopt fascism. Germans were the second group of people to . Of course that was back when that meant something, unlike now that AntiFa supports beating and bullying people who don't believe the same things they do. You could say that those committing the violence aren't AntiFa, but then I could say that with the same logic, Trump isn't a racist.
@@nobodyreally834 I agree 100%
@@nobodyreally834Amen to that.
Anti-fascists then: Fighting actual fascism. Believes in freedom and democracy.
"Antifa" now: Authoritarian collectivists who use violence to further their political goals and also burn down minority communities. Also, they wear all black so they're literally blackshirts. The name "Antifa" has become so ironic that it's not even funny.
@@devilsadvocate6269 Yeah, there is no other way to look at them.. They are the very thing they supposedly hate.
I love, love, LOVE the slapstick comedy between the suits and the Nazis. One fave being the curious soldier who inspects the armor, marveling at how there is nothing inside and then taking it away presumably for study and the lower half boots him in the butt. XD Like "Excuse YOU, that's MY torso!"
I don't think it was his butt that was kicked. If you look closely. It looks more like that was a nut shot 🤣
Now I’d like to see a more mature version of this battle
There was that one suit of armor that was high-kicking the soldier all the way to his comrades while his clothes were caught on the lance.
@@tararocksong5085 He was goosestepping, actually, lol.
@@ArthurRex131, still, that was hilariously funny!!!!

👍Sure is.
0:43 the image of a drum beating by itself when England is in danger reminds me heavily of the legend of the Drum of Sir Francis Drake, which is supposed to sound when the nation is in peril.
Reminds me of Animusic before CGI!
One of the best roles by Angela Lansbury. May she rest in peace :(
Miss Potts also.
It's funny that the Nazi was punched in the face by the "iron fist" xD didn't realize the irony there until now
one of the best scene is when the goose stepping knight kicks the ass of the german soldier again and again.
***** oh, most definitely lol
Gilgamesh Panzerfaust: Armoured fist.
I loved how that one German soldier took apart one armor, trying to find out how the armor was moving, only to be kicked in the rear when he turned around to set down the top breastplate
LMBO!!! I just realized myself too
The part where the armor appears to die always made me sad.
It reminds me of the battle droids deactivating in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace after their Droid Control Ship is destroyed.
Well think of it this way the souls that inhabit those armors were called back to defend their country one last time and have now gone back to Rest In Peace

Old Disney, they were too timid to have more than one or two people die. in this case, likely the Home Guard sentry not far from the shore where the krauts disembarked. Don't see it, though. Its during the war so it's more than likely the krauts slit his throat after he went off camera. And one implied possible death is apparently enough for this movie in Walt's opinion, I guess. Poor bugger...
masterDevis and despite the injunction against killing even one nazi, they didn't have any problem stealing the cartoon lion's precious family heirloom and turning him into a rabbit for trying to stop them - which I don't think justifies even calling him a villain - when all they had to do was write down the inscription on a piece of paper? There's morality for you. Moral of the story, it's ok to rob cartoon animals and mutilate their bodies.
For a *real* travesty of avoiding killing anyone, watch the movie Masterminds, starring patrick stewart. It's basically a remake of the movie "Toy Soldiers", but increasingly ridiculous contrivances occur so that there is not one fatality.
masterDevis don't forget that Nazi guard that got punched in the throat at 1:25
although, he might've been just knocked out though, but still, getting punched in the Adam's Apple with a metal glove is pretty painful

I'll miss Angela Lansbury. I love her in Bedknobs & Broomsticks & Murder She Wrote.
When I was a boy and saw this, I always thought she'd summoned the ghosts of those dead warriors and soldiers back, rather than just re-animating their armor.
Eric Hinkle even though they'd been dead for hundreds of years they were back for one last fight to defend their country!
Not even death can keep a good Englishman down!
Good news: they are all eligible to vote in the upcoming by-elections.
I'm not so sure she didn't do just that

'Victory for England and Saint George' the Scottish troops turn around and leave, muttering something about independence.
I know right. Shame that it was so still England centric then. I certainly feel Britain should be the centre theme. Especially since she was flying the Union Jack and Britain would not have won either world war without being Great Britain! But many Englanders had no idea then and were quite arrogant. Still now. But I appreciate it.
Especially with the recent attitude towards foreigners in Britain, which I really hate. People forget to consider that during in WW1 anyone part of the British Empire also fought against Germany. This included Australians, Indians, New Zealanders, Canadians, South Africans, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, English soldiers. Even the RAF consisted of a lot of Polish and Czech pilots. Without them, there's no way we could of ever have won the war.
Recent attitude towards foreigners!?!? You must be blind. The islamification has begun and will destroy everything. Wake up.
And you've just proven my point.
Don't worry "More Women" is just another Troll Account courtesy of the Russians and their Alt-Right fascist friends.
Even during WWII, those uniforms and armour suits were very valuable indeed.
The curators of the museum and the historic society are going to want a really good explanation from Eglantine and Emilius over the bullet holes and all the other damage caused.
they could always pin the blame on the nazis for those, and since they quite disrespectful of other countries it would be believable...
That armored fist slugging the Nazi who had the shit luck of opening the door always made me laugh my ass off as a kid. But when the pipe and drums begin I always get chills....epic.
That spell is taught at Hogwarts' now.

Hitler wearing sunglasses, ha ha. Must be "Jew-Ban" brand. I don't know whether that joke was in good taste or not. Seriously though, imagine if a country had control over an army of witches, each one that powerful. And they thought at the end of WWII that the nuke was the ultimate weapon.
It's got to be some kind of trick!

I'd love to see the Home Guards After Action Report on this...
Heard explosion... on own discretion moved company to the coast to investigate... upon arrival at the coast to find Germans fleeing the coast in rafts to a nearby submarine, had company fire a few volleys into them as they retreated. ...Moved to secure the nearby town and investigate what the germans where up to. ...Found fields full of historical artifacts... near where the Germans are assumed to have been, these artifacts ranging from long bows and 14th century knights and armor, to Napoleonic era uniforms have been riddled with bullet holes, in addition a number of broken and discarded German weapons, including a Machine gun cleaved in two by what is assumed an axe...
The Germans seemed to have blown up a residential manor as they retreated.
High command: General Brian Tegler you are hereby relived of your post as you have committed the Old home guard to looting and destroying priceless museum property.
+Illuminati 420Skeleton For target practice!
+Nebfer Permit me to clarify but none of those uniforms were Napoleonic. What you most likely thought were Napoleonic era uniforms were from the classical period.
I wonder what nazis could written for their reports about this blundered invasion exercise...
+Cian Nelson I'm not quite sure what period is the "classical" period. The Uniforms are British Grenadiers from the era of the Jacobite Rebellion and the American War of Independence just these uniforms are purely ceremonial due to the white powered wigs under the mitre caps.
The one with the axe terrified me as a kid.
I loved it :D
I totally relate to that. That helmet... my god.
Epically bad ass scene x
I know, right?! DX
Very scary
My favorite scene of all Disney's films... So magestic!
I had forgotten about this gem.
This was my favorite part as a kid save for the executioner's armor that always scared me.
same here, that armor always creeped me out. But If I saw a something like coming out of the dark, holding a battle ax, I'd be scared shitless
timebaby3 I always held a pillow to hide my face when that part came on. lol
that scene always scared the fuck outta me!
exactly the same with me.
as a child I feared nothing.
nothing.
except the axeman.
I was terrified, and fascinated by all this as a kid. I'm still feeling the same as an adult. What a scene. Very poetic.
rip dame angela
8:06 The movie's most terrifying frameshot.
6:23 literally kicking Nazi butt. They don't make family movies like this anymore.
agreed
+kittenboy2007 ugh meant 6:23
actually, think they were just german soldiers, the colonel guy was probably an SS officer though, with the badges/logo on his hat an uniform but the uniform it self looked bit different then the ones the nazis wore, (but then again... family film so I dont look too much into it lol
Looked like the armour was goose stepping (like the Nazis did)XD
Looking at that scene he looked like he was kicking in a spot a little more towards the front than the behind if you know what I mean, the guy probably never played the violin again.;)
I used to think this was the most epic battle as kid
I still do tbh
*_MAGNETIC POWEER_*
The moment the bagpipes start playing and you feel the magic of that scene smack you in the face... best moment ever!
When the knights pulled their swords in salute, as a kid I thought "Oh shit! It's on!" (Or whatever parlance I used at the time) I thought this scene kicked ass.
Of course, upon reflection, I can't help but notice that the building in which all of the armor, standards, weapons and uniforms were kept was exceptionally well stocked for a small, provincial coastal town.
“Once more for Britain, lads!”
Practical effects never age poorly
Exactly
I generally love practical effects, but you can't say they never do. See: IT(1990) for example lol
Plenty of practical effects look like garbage, but bad practical effects still look better than bad CG.
Better than CGI ALL DAY LONG

6:37 AND IT WILL COME
LIKE A FLOOD OF PAIN
POURING DOWN ON ME
AND IT WILL NOT LET UP UNTIL THE END IS HERE
AND IT WILL COME
@@Blank-gf6dd To the Darkest Day
It warms my heart to see this scene have over a million views. Some truly excellent practical and visual effects.
if the suits of armour start chanting the spell that means they will continue living. kinda scary when you think about it
And it lets the other side know their screwed.
Nah, it was only Ms. Price who had the power, that's why they collapsed when they knocked her out at the end. If anyone or anything else says the magic words, it's just words to them. What she needs is a spell for a force field shield, otherwise she's the weakness there.
notcyndi it is explained in the end that she lost her magic power, so it's not just knocking her out that cancel the spell. for me, the magical power reside in the small laboratory of Ms. Price (and as Ms Price lives around that magic source, she end up getting some control over it) and when the german exploded their munitions (to avoid it being taken by the british army) the explosion destroyed also the lab cancelling the magic.
Edouard Degotte Really! Are you screwing with me? I don't remember anything about a magic building being the source of all the magic! I don't really remember the movie in great detail in any case, mind you, it's been like 30 years since I've seen the thing, but that is a pretty contrived explanation, and WHY is the building magic anyway, if not because it was Ms. Price's lab, either way, it would seem to me that Ms. Price was the source of the power. Though I certainly wouldn't put it past disney to come up with such a convenient and lame method to put things back to the status quo, I much prefer an ending like to Shaolin Soccer where the secrets of kung fu become widespreadly known and everyone's doing extraordinary things.
Edouard Degotte I always thought it was achievement in ignorance. She started the correspondence course in good faith, and believed the spells would work for her, so they did. But if there was some pre-existing power source, a ley line conjunction or something that supplied the power under her house, and her belief in the rituals she was using simply allowed her to tap it, that makes a lot more sense. Though I don't remember any specific dialogue that said as much, or that the explosion destroyed it. All it said was that her laboratory had been destroyed.
Ms. Pryce giving life to armor and weapons from virtually every era of English history to fight the Nazis - one of the most awesome sequences in movie history, I think.
RIP Angela Lansbury. Thanks for giving me one of my fondest film memories as a kid.
I know the live-action Disney films tend to get ignored in favour of the animated ones (though I admittedly tend to prefer the latter myself), but movies like this definitely deserve to be appreciated more than they were 😊
Oh this scene still makes me excited
8:00 Not gonna lie, this guy was terrifying, and yet so badass to me as a youngster. I remember peaking out from behind the couch because I didn't want him to see me, but I wanted to see him scare off the bad guys.
Rest In Peace Angela Lansbury
How moving is that transition from the bagpipes to Angela amount her broomstick. A brave choice to let the music carry the ordience for almost 3minuites. RIP Angela Landsbury.
