 In Search of the Castaways (1962) - IMDb user comments
Based upon Jule's Vernes 'Captain Grant's Children', In Search of Those Castaways (1962) is an incoherent yarn about Mary Grant (Haley Mills), the determined daughter of a missing sea captain (Jack Gwillim) who sets about traveling to exotic ports and hidden mysterious locales in search of dear IL' daddy.
Castaways has a scenario so bizarre and features a set of adventures so patently absurd, that it makes Journey to the Center of the Earth seem like cinema verité.
If we could write In Search of the Castaways off as a low-budget quickie like Valley of the Dragons, padded out with stock footage, the whole thing would be easier to figure.

 In Search of the Castaways DVD Review
If this is the case with Castaways, then a reformat to the so-called "fullscreen" format (which fills 4x3 screens, but not the increasingly popular 16x9 sets) would entail a loss of 20-25% of picture.
Fans of In Search of Castaways should be happy to hear that this film is at last available on DVD in Region 1...until they discover it's given the bare minimum treatment from Disney.
In Search of the Castaways doesn't feel as fresh and flavorful as the Hayley Mills's other films for the studio, but it holds up rather well as a light-hearted adventure, where the influences of Jules Verne and Walt Disney are equally noticeable.

In Search of the Castaways was Hayley Mills's third feature for Disney, an agreeable adventure--loosely based on a Jules Verne story--with enough derring-do to make kids happy and with the right touch of self-conscious silliness to keep adults smiling.
The opening credits of In Search of the Castaways tell the audience that this is a "fantasy adventure," and that turns out to be pretty accurate.

With the help of Wilfrid Brambell, a looney ex-crew member of the captain's (and the fellow who sent the bottled message), Chevalier, Mills and Hamshere are finally reunited with Gwillim--and as a bonus, Mills has found a boy friend, in the person of Michael Anderson.
