Welcome Return

The original child stars of the "Witch Mountain" movies of the 70's, have joined the cast of Disney's remake "Race to Witch Mountain " says Reuters.

Ike Eisenmann and Kim Richards (pictured) are back as a cool nod to the original movies. Eisenmann plays a sheriff and Richards plays a waitress at a roadhouse called Ray's in a town called Stony Creek.

Both characters will offer help to the film's group of protagonists--led by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
