Swiss Family Robinson (Vault Disney Collection) by John Mills

I'm 69 and still a get a thrill while watching the opening scene of this movie, which I've seen countless times over the years. It's got that Disney Magic, excellent production values with the best cinematography, lighting, acting, and an adventure based story that never has a dull moment.Wild animals, pirates, storms at sea, and sibling rivalry, all combined with that special Disney touch that it sure to please those who are young as well as those who are young at heart. Highly recommended.

This is an old classic! Shipwrecked a family survives even with no support. The film technology is 50 years old, but still a feel good plot!

Saw it at the drive-in new as a kid, STILL a very good family movie

I remember seeing this film on its initial release, as a young boy. Actually, it was on my family's second attempt to see it that we got into the theater, since this film was sold out and did turn away business at our local theater for several weeks. It is a Disney classic that is still entertaining and endearing all these years later, as witnessed when our grandchildren and their parents watched it at our home during a recent visit, and thoroughly enjoyed it. In fact, since that viewing, our grandkids have had friends over to their home to see it, as well. A delightful escapist film fit for the entire family.

Good price and great family store

Product arrived in fair shape.

If you haven’t seen this movie or even if you have, go get it, it’s a good family movie

Got it for my two grandkids aged 6 and 11. Fast delivery. Came in 2 discs, the second one was interviews and background info on the movie.

Pelicula entretenida y divertida. Es lo que queria.

ふとしたことから60年位まえの記憶が蘇り、いろいろ検索して見つけ出しました。記憶してたｽﾄｰﾘｰとほぼ同じだと思います。楽しく鑑賞しました。

The Disney touch is all over this grand, colorful version of the Johann Wyss adventure of a European family set off for the new world of New Guinea. The film opens on a ship jostled and torn by a raging storm while a family struggles to make it through alive. Tossed into a reef near a deserted tropical island, father John Mills takes charge and the family soon turns their island prison into a veritable paradise. Their multilevel tree house, built in record time, is complete with running water and a working pipe organ scavenged from the ship, while their grand yard is abloom in English roses. As a tale of hardship and pioneer pluck, the tale is pure fantasy, but as entertainment it's energetic and appealing. The island is impossibly populated by ostriches, zebras, lions, and elephants, a private zoo that delights the youngest boy and offers plenty of comic relief. The two older brothers discover even wilder life when they rescue the prisoner of oriental pirates (led by hard-bitten Sessue Hayakawa). There's little real danger anywhere in the film--even the climactic battle with the pirates is a cartoonish affair, with coconut bombs and nonlethal booby traps, until the final desperate, deadly moments. Hardly a faithful adaptation of the novel, but a lush, beautifully photographed film and an entertaining adventure safe for all ages. Dorothy McGuire costars as the proper, worry-prone mother. (Ages 5 and older)Product DescriptionThe film was based on the book by Johann Wyss, written to preserve the tales he and his sons made up while imagining themselves in Robinson Crusoe's predicament. Not originally intended for publication, the narrative was later edited and illustrated by Wyss' descendants.
