Synopsis
Tony and Tia are other-worldly twins endowed with telekinesis. When their Uncle Bene drops them off in Los Angeles for an earthbound vacation, a display of their supernatural skill catches the eye of the nefarious Dr. Gannon and his partner in crime, Letha, who see rich possibilities in harnessing the children's gifts. They kidnap Tony, and Tia gives chase only to find Gannon is using her brother's powers against her.

Variety
Pic is loaded with the kind of visual hijinks juve audiences love, and appeal should hold for adults, as well. Playoff looks bright in most situations. - 60
The New York Times
The two young principals are serviceable, but not nearly as lively as some of their co-stars — Christian Juttner, as the tallest Earthquake, steals virtually every scene he doesn't share with Miss Davis or Mr. Lee. - 60
Washington Post
Fortunately, the level of pictorial magic improves considerably as the movies rolls along. [28 March 1978, p.B12] - 50
TV Guide Magazine
The kids will love all the visual gags in this pleasing if lightweight Disney film. - 40
IGN
This extremely generic plotline feels very underwritten, almost as if it was one of many episodes of a Witch Mountain TV series rather than a three-years in the making sequel to a successful children's sci-fi adventure film. - 40
Washington Post
It's a frequent theme of bad children's pictures that knowledge, especially scientific knowledge, is the opposite of unspoiled childhood goodness,and here it is again, only weakly contradicted by the one pleasant actor in the film, Jack Soo, as an idealistic truant officer. It's as if kiddies' mindless escape films, unlike adults', needed to carry their own internal justification. [31 March 1978, p.15]
