Don’t bother wasting your time or money on this movie. I don’t care about the quality of the cinematography, the quality of the story is what is lacking. From the elmination of Jack, one of the Robinson children, to the blatant disregard for absolutely any speck of information from the book, this film will make you cringe in horror. Rather, go get the original book, and curl up with your family and read. It’s a better use of your time than watching this garbage. It doesn’t deserve the one star I was forced to give it.

I bought this as a gift for my nephew because I loved the book as a chid and vaguely remembered a wonderful treehouse in the movie. I’m very glad I screened it first. The female characters are practically subhuman in intelligence and the story presentation is slow, boring, and illogical. I’m not very PC with old movies, but the sexism and animal abuse in this movie are way past my limits. Choose one of the other Disney re-releases instead. There are plenty of good ones to choose over this dog.

Yes, I do agree, this is a HIGHLY enjoyable movie, and yes, the commentary track by , among others, the elusive Tommy Kirk is a great pleasure(a note to the man who asked where he had been all those years : Tommy was fired by nice uncle Walt when it was discovered that Tommy was(and is) gay…thereby of course being worse than a murderer or convicted crook in the eyes of hypocrytical family loving middle america….and he went into a decline of bad movies booze and drugs, but emerged from all that and is now quite a gay icon among certain circles….good to hear him in good cheer and forgiving for all that he had to endure)..BUT…what really ticks me OFF about this movie and makes me rate it only 3 stars is the blatant Cruelty to the animals..something that appears to have been widespread in those years and especially in uncle Walt’s happy family company.
A pig should NOT float mr. Annakin, and NO it is NOT funny to see the poor animal in agony, neither do I believe that it is healthy to have dogs fight with a TIGER !!! animals do NOT act, they are always themselves and violence is violence…scripted or not!! The zebra in the pit with the Hyena’s is probably the most stomach turning piece of cruelty that happy bunch of macho men of the Disney crew perpetuated in the higher goal of a perfect movie(the script girls and his wife were a bit upset says Annakin in the commentary…but whoop-de-doo weren’t they cry babies….aaah women!!)…so NO, I can’t watch animals being FUNNY, because they are NOT…they are just suffering and waiting for the day they can be released from that living hell called fim making they had to endure take after take….just a little electric shock for the zebra laughs Annakin, why he had it administered to himself and it was HARMLESS….mmmm…pity they didn’t turn up the voltage that time Ken !!

Do not watch if you have issues with sibling rivalry. This story is based on a classic book by Johnathan Wyis, and is done up rather well by the Disney stable of actors like Tommy Kirk, and Kevin Cochoran. Also Patrick McGoogahan is outstanding as the patriarch. I know I cringed when seeing the scenes with Fritz, Ernest, and Roberta as I’m sure that both wanted her so bad. I know that they were willing to fight to the death for her, and I know that it always seemed as though Ernest got the raw deal. Well chances are Roberta wasn’t interested in Ernest that way, so she did the next best thing she could do for him as she still cared for him as a possible future brother-in-law. She would talk with her grandfather to see about making him a captain of the British naval fleet. Let’s face it women make up their mind as to who they want to love, and who they don’t, but it doesn’t take away the hurt, or unrequition the spurned party has left to deal with, and if you are hypersensitive about this issue of you and your brother having the hots for one girl, and you just got the raw deal don’t watch this movie. I know that Moby books(books for children between the ages of 8-12) has a version that doesn’t deal with the rivalry over Roberta; stick with that because it’s still a good story.
