TCM Presents: The Family Classics

I am so excited about this and I hope you will be too. I would love to invite all my readers to take a trip down memory lane with me this holiday season. Please tune in to Turner Classic Movies as they conjure up some pure movie magic this December with the debut airing of TCM Presents: The Family Classics.

The festivities will include Sunday movie showcases featuring more than 25 Disney live-action classics, plus an all-new original documentary entitled THE AGE OF BELIEVING:  THE DISNEY LIVE-ACTION CLASSICS, narrated by Tony® winner and three-time Oscar® nominee Angela Lansbury.

TCM PRESENTS: THE FAMILY CLASSICS premieres Sunday, December 7 at noon and continues each Sunday in December, featuring such films as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954), Freaky Friday (1976), The Parent Trap (1961), The Love Bug (1968), Treasure Island (1950), The Shaggy Dog (1959) and Swiss Family Robinson (1960), as well as Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971), which stars Lansbury.

THE AGE OF BELIEVING:  THE DISNEY LIVE-ACTION CLASSICS, which comes to TCM from FitzFilm, Inc. and writer/producer/director Peter Fitzgerald, will follow the studio’s history as it ventured beyond its animation legacy to develop non-animated family fare.  It premieres at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 14.
