Beyond Witch Mountain (1982)

Beyond Witch Mountain is a 1982 made-for-television film and the second sequel to Escape to Witch Mountain (1975) produced by Walt Disney Productions which originally aired on CBS as an episode of Walt Disney on February 20, 1982. Although Eddie Albert returned to play Jason O'Day from the original 1975 movie, the parts of Tony and Tia were recast with actors comparable only in age to Ike Eisenmann and Kim Richards when they first played the parts. Tracey Gold from Growing Pains played Tia. The parts of Aristotle Bolt, Lucas Deranian and Uncle Bené were also recast.

It was originally intended to be the pilot for a television series, but no networks thought that viewers would take the show seriously, and so a second episode was never made.

The film also contradicts the 1978 sequel Return from Witch Mountain, because in that film, Tia and Tony are of teenage years, because Uncle Bené is still alive, and because in both of the original movies, Tony had to answer Tia verbally—he did not have the power to talk through his mind. In Beyond Witch Mountain, Tia and Tony are around the same age from the first movie, Uncle Bené dies early in the film, and as previously mentioned, Tony can talk to Tia mentally.
