(DVD, Universal)

Feature version of the Sid & Marty Krofft TV show spends a little more time with Jimmy pre-Living Island. For instance, we find out he was kicked out of the band and was about to abandon his flute, which suddenly started talking. Once on Living Island, he tangles with Witchiepoo, who steals Freddy and uses him to win "witch of the year" at the witches' convention. There are frequent breaks for soft-psych songs, including one by Mama Cass. HR Pufnstuf is voiced by a different actor than the TV series, and it is slightly askew. Willakers!
