Funny / Escape to Witch Mountain

Go To

  • Oh, come now, what possible harm could come from freeing a poor helpless bear?
    • Speaking of whom. When Deranian catches up with Tony and Tia, they escape yet again. As Deranian and his goon rush to their car, they are stopped dead in their tracks by... the same bear sitting in their car's passenger seat. Cue Deranian's rather subtle Oh, Crap!! expression as he calmly backs away.
  • When Tony and Tia are filling out their questionnaire.
    Tia: Tony, what should I put after "sports"?
    Tony: Put, "spectator".
  • During the car chase, Tony manages to launch a sack of flour into a pursuer, blinding them, running them off the road and crashing (complete with a comical crash sound). When the smoke clears, we see the car comically perched up against a tree with its hood popped up, a piece of fender trim dangling off the side but otherwise undamaged and the driver and its occupants covered in flour but otherwise unhurt.
    Passenger: Good driving, Al!
    Al: How'd we wind up here? Come on, let's get— (the driver door opens to find quite a few feet are between them and the ground) whoop, look out, the door!
  • Beware of airborne Winnebago's.
    • Bolt's indignant "That's impossible! That kind of vehicle can't fly upside down! Not supposed to fly at all..."
      • Followed immediately by Bolt noticing that the helicopter's pilot's hair looks a bit strange, leading to an Oh, Crap!! that he verifies by looking down... at the sky,.. and up... at the ground and...
    Bolt: They're not upside down, we are!
  • After introducing them to their new home in Bolt's mansion, Deranian shows the kids the view of the coastline and tells them that Bolt "owns everything in sight."
    Tia: Well, I can see the sky.
  • By the end of the film, Deranian seems completely done with the supernatural antics and chasing the kids up and down the California coast, and just wants to go home. His "you gotta be kidding me" expression when he sees Bolt's helicopter land upside down is great.
    Deranian: I should've known there was more than just ESP with those two.
    Bolt: deeply irritated Gah!
