Swiss Family Robinson—good child/adult share—has appeal for a wide audience range and its own unique story that includes shipwreck and pirates. It’s a light watch with good island scenery and enough domesticated and wild animals to make a good story. The conclusion is perfectly suited to the story. Watch for Tommy Kirk as Ernst Robinson.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes. This is a simple, one time watch for a lazy afternoon with the family. If an audience has not seen the movie for awhile, it is still watchable.
