Review of Swiss Family Robinson (1960) by Allan C — 20 Oct 2017
Colorful Disney adaptation of the Johann David Wyss novel about a family who find themselves shipwrecked and stranded on a deserted island. Starring John Mills and Dorothy McGuire, the film is a what-if type of situation that audiences can't help but wonder what you would do in the same situation.
It's also brings thoughts for viewers who might fantasize about throwing aside the responsibilities of the world and start completely over. Now if you're watching "The Blue Lagoon" the fantasy of what you do on a deserted island is something completely different, but when it's a Disney movie about family stranded on a deserted island, you're going have have pirates, funny animals providing comic relieve, and general wholesome family fun.
"Swiss Family Robinson" is a fun lightweight film for kids that enchanted my own children and was still fun for me to watch as an adult.
