Escape to Witch Mountain (Disney)
Or as I like to call it: "Escape to Which Mountain?"Brief synopsis (from ultimatedisney.com):
Young Tia (Kim Richards) and Tony Malone (Iake Eissinmann) arrive at an orphanage after the death of their foster parents, and immediately, the other children notice something is different about them. In baseball, Tony is able to jump high to catch fly balls...fifty feet high. Tia gets a feeling about certain things that are about to happen and she prevents a man from being the victim of a car accident.
The man, Lucas Deranian (Donald Pleasance), informs his malicious boss Aristotle Bolt (Ray Milland) of these two special children, and they seek to exploit their powers, with Deranian posing as the siblings' uncle to get custody. Tia and Tony take off, with hopes of remembering and finding exactly where on Earth (or not) they come from. They get assistance from Jason O'Day (Eddie Albert), an old soul who at first look appears to be gruff, but is entirely sympathetic to the two children. LINK
You can read a transcript of the film here.
The following is an example of one of the many odd moments in the film: Bolt and Deranian watch the two kids (star children) via surveillance monitors as the children put on a display of their magical talents inside their new quarters within the Bolt compound . Bolt and Deranian say the following lines:
ARISTOTLE BOLT: That's the most incredible thing I've seen.
LUCAS DERANIAN: Thank you. We have a long way to go, yet. I'm having more hidden cameras installed and as soon as I have enough... evidence, I'm going to show the tapes to the children.
ARISTOTLE BOLT: "Good. If this doesn't put them on my team, well..., we'll have to resort to cruder methods of persuasion."
Screenshots: 
Tia's star case. Binary star symbol?
Dual Sun? Sirius?
Reference to Hiram Abiff?
Tia and Tony are taken "home"
in a "flying saucer".
The flying saucer first leaves
sight by going over the hilltop,
but comes back shortly thereafter
and disappears into fog, or perhaps
a body of water.

Wow, how timely...I was just thinking about these movies late last week...attempting to recall exactly what happens. Then I came across a new DVD which contains both movies at a store here. Thanks for touching on this one.

Hey there, Filmnoir23. Buy the DVD! There is quite a bit of high weirdness presented in Escape to Witch Mountain. This post only touched on a few highlights of the strangeness contained within the film and will hopefully provoke people to watch the film.
I started watching 'Return from Witch Mountain' yesterday and within the first 15 minutes the concept of electronic mind control was presented to the viewer.
These films, along with many (if not most) of Disney’s productions are pretty revealing (paranormal activity, magic, mind control), especially when you consider that these films were developed primarily for an audience of children.
Interesting article written by Fritz Springmeier on the Disney bloodline can be read here: http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/

Hidden in plain sight...
Hi there! I rented this about a year ago because Springmeier had mentioned it as a significant occult Disney movie. Another good one is Watcher in the Woods
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081738/
Hey there, hoi polloi.
Watcher in the Woods has been added to my movie queue. Thanks!
If you haven't seen 'Return to Witch Mountain' I would suggest watching it, too. I found it to be far more disturbing than 'Escape to..' Christopher Lee stars as the lead villain (surprised? ha ha!) in the film.
I'll be posting something on Return to Witch Mountain in a few days.
'Beyond Witch Mountain' is next on the Witch Mountain list.
