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

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.

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.

The famous 1813 novel by Johann Wyss has been turned into a fine adventure film under Walt Disney's supervision, although purists may resent the way the original narrative has been souped up with pirates and other innovations.

This feels like a believable family, even if the treehouse is a little over the top.

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

Jan 13, 2010Next to 20,000 Leagues, I would say that this is one of Disney's best live action movies of the time. It's such a fun movie with everything you love about adventure. Pirates, tree houses, animal races, etc. It's just an extremely rich story that is told beautifully, there's no way you can't love this movie.Conner R Super Reviewer

Dec 30, 2008A great family Disney film. Always enjoyed watching this when I was young and you can't help getting swept up in the magic of it (helped especially by it all being filmed on location. This film contains the best treehouse ever...period! Quite odd watching it now as you expect to see Kate, Jack or Sawyer walking into frame!David S Super Reviewer

Feb 24, 2008a disney animal farm with a girl in it disguised as a man... who looked better in her boy clothes than the dress. john mills was in it... so you may be thinking that's a pro... but it's the only thing positive about it. there's some really dumb pirates about... i guess janet munro was a bit pretty in a tomboy way. meh... and i guess seeing random animals running around that add nothing to the plot was a bit amusingSanity Assassin !
