None of the many cinemadaptations of Johan Wyss' The Swiss Family Robinson are as relentlessly enjoyable as this 1960 Disney feature. The film wastes no time getting down to business, with the shipwreck of the Robinson family occurring as the credits flash across the screen. Fashioning a raft, the family heads to a lush tropical island. While the mother (Dorothy McGuire) isn't too happy about being a castaway, the father (John Mills) and the sons (James MacArthur, Tommy Kirk, Kevin Corcoran) are thrilled at the prospect of ...

More Disney Magic at Work

Time is no factor in this tale of a marooned family of the Age of Enlightenment. It takes too long to get to shore . Too long to build a residence. Too long to explore the Island. Too long to get back. Too long for the Pirate attack to get going. Too long and then it's over and you say to yourself "Wow, that movie was over fast!" Yet two hours have gone by. The setting in tropical Tobago is exquisite. The animal menagery is well involved. The costumes for a period piece seem authentic enough. One of Disney's best camera men did the shooting. The motley crew of cutthroats is so well directed that they come alive as a character themselves. All magical.

The DVD edition I watched has a Donald Duck cartoon added. There is also looped commentary
