Swiss Family Robinson

The Swiss Family Robinson, like most of Walt Disney's screen versions of the children's classics, is good Disney and bad culture.

It's hard to imagine how the picture could be better as a rousing, humorous and gentle-hearted tale of family love amid primitive isolation and dangers.

...a crudely calibrated series of 'thrills,' each timed for maximum sustained interest.

Mild peril, dated animation in tale of island survival.

Good intro for kids reluctant to watch old movies.

There's something for everybody in this Disney's live action adventure made for the entire family, which may explain why it was the most commercially popular film of 1960.

It's no Pirates Of The Caribbean but the spirit of adventure, and Disney's high production values, means that there's still some fun to be had watching this wholesome family adapt to island life.

Chock-full of exotic locations and animals, desert-island DIY ingenuity, and high-spirited excitement, with a poignant subplot involving the rivalry of the two elder sons.

The escapist atmosphere is still difficult to resist.

Classic family adventure with pirates and animals on an exotic island. What's not to love?

unrealistic disney fun

Should be called Swiss Army Robinson.
