Comments Share

Bedknobs and Broomsticks was one of the very first live action Disney movies released on VHS, first for rental only on March 4, 1980, then also for sale in October 1980, along with Pete's Dragon.

Throughout the years, the cover artwork was modified a few times, up to when it was later transferred to the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection in 1994.
