The Allies never drafted superheroes during WWII for fear Superman would be a Nazis sympathizer.

However, instead of superpowers, this fantasy supposes magic was used to fend off the Axis.

During the Blitz, the Rawlins' children are taken to an English manor owned by Miss. Price (Angela Lansbury), a witch in-training who wishes to use magic in the war effort. Unfortunately, her correspondence course is cancelled before she can master the last spell. However, the headmaster of the witch school (David Tomlinson) informs her that the medallion she needs is on Naboombu, a mystical island populated by talking animals.

While this 1971 animated live-action Disney movie is very similar to Mary Poppins, this composite of two children's books is a tad darker than the aforementioned caregiver thanks to its war torn setting and epic award-winning special effects.

Conversely, the Americans also employed magicians during WWII, but only for USO shows. Green Light
