Hey Everyone,
Just a quick post this evening, but one I'm sure you'll all enjoy!
One of my favorite movies from childhood {that to this day still conjures up summer memories of hand-drawn plans to build a tree-house out back} is the 1960 Technicolor film, The Swiss Family Robinson. This movie is a must-see for anyone seeking a shipwrecked, island adventure complete with wild animals, swampy jungles, houses in trees, pirates, and even... coconut-bombs! :)
The story features the Robinson family--Father, Mother, Fritz, Ernst, and Francis--who are shipwrecked onto an island in the South Pacific while on their way to a colony in New Guinea. They must learn to fend for themselves, utilizing the limited resources they have to both survive the elements and defend themselves against wild creatures and ruthless pirates roaming the surrounding seas. It's an especially great movie for boys, but one girls will heartily enjoy, too. Full of humor, adventure, and wholesome family moments, it is well worth having on hand.
Buy it, rent it, borrow it from the library--just get a copy. You'll love it! Copies are available both here on Amazon and on eBay. This is definitely one those movies your whole family will always enjoy and a summer flick your kids will LOVE!
Did you love this movie when you were a kid? If so, tell me about it! I'd love to know what parts you loved most! :)
