rdf:langString "Beyond Witch Mountain" is a 1982 American made-for-television science fiction-fantasy film and a sequel to Escape to Witch Mountain (1975) and is the third installment in the Witch Mountain franchise. 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 in age to Ike Eisenmann and Kim Richards when they first played the parts. Tracey Gold from Growing Pains played Tia, and Andy Freeman played Tony. The parts of Aristotle Bolt, Lucas Deranian and Uncle Bené were also recast. Beyond Witch Mountain was broadcast on CBS as an episode of Walt Disney on February 20, 1982. The film totally contradicts and ignores elements of the 1978 sequel Return from Witch Mountain, because in that film, Tia and Tony are of teenage years, and Uncle Bené is still alive. 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, which is only introduced in ‘’Return from Witch Mountain’’, and a divergence from the original film plot.
