How can I find an old movie 'bout kids picking parts for a robotic grandma and using a marble for eye color?

I think it was an old Disney set in England, but I did find an episode of the Twilight Zone with a similar plot. May be based on the same story only I remember it being in color, and the eyes were swirling in a large glass tube. The kids couldn't see them well enough (moving too fast) so the little boy pulls a marble from his pocket and asks to match that color. Sound familiar?How can I find an old movie 'bout kids picking parts for a robotic grandma and using a marble for eye color?
Sounds like ';The Electric Grandmother'; which was indeed a Twilight Zone episode prior to becoming a movie. The movie starred Maureen Stapleton, whom I remember best as ';Ma Kelly'; in ';Johnny Dangerously'; and the reason this movie came to mind is she sang an annoying song to her grand-daughter Agatha, which of course, involved singing the word ';Agatha'; ad nauseum...hope this info helps!How can I find an old movie 'bout kids picking parts for a robotic grandma and using a marble for eye color?
