	The Swiss Family Robinson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Swiss Family Robinson is a novel, first published in 1812, about a Swiss family who is shipwrecked en route to Australia.
		Written by Swiss pastor Johann David Wyss, and edited by his son Johann Rudolf Wyss, this novel was intended to teach his four sons about family values, good husbandry, the uses of the natural world and self-reliance.
		Although movie and TV adaptations have often given them the surname Robinson, which is not, of course, a Swiss name, the "Robinson" of the title refers to Robinson Crusoe.

	DVD Review - Swiss Family Robinson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Part of the first batch of four "Vault Disney" titles, 1960’s "Swiss Family Robinson" is an entertaining adaptation of Johann Wyss’s novel about a family on their way to build a new life in New Guinea who instead wind up building their very own paradise on an uninhabited South Pacific island.
		The Robinson boys are a bit miffed at the effeminate nature of young Bertie until they discover that the "boy" is actually a girl named Roberta (Janet Munro) who was disguised by her grandfather so the pirates wouldn’t take any, ahem, liberties with her.
		"Swiss Family Robinson" is a wonderful adventure tale that may seem a bit dated and stilted to modern-day audiences but those who grew up watching the classic live-action Disney films or those who just enjoy quality family entertainment are in for a real treat with this new "Vault Disney" DVD.

	Swiss Family Robinson (1960)
		Unfortunately also, this action alerts the pirates to the Robinson family’s continued presence on the island, and it means the trio can’t return to their raft; they have to hoof it over land.
		The family needed to use scraps and ideas to fight the pirates, and it all took on a Home Alone style melee.
		Swiss Family Robinson appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 2.35:1 on this single-sided, dual-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

		Swiss Family Robinson had this kickarse treehouse made with all bits of the ship crashed in the harbour, and there was running water and everything.
		Johann Wyss’ Swiss Family Robinson still find a way to be politically incorrect as they capture many of the island’s menagerie and use them for slave labour before racing them comically on their day off.
		When the storm abates, the Robinsons are spared, but of the crew there is no sign and so they take their stuff across to a nearby island and set up shop.

		The Robinsons, that most resourceful of all families Swiss, flee their home country to avoid the approaching army of Napoleon Bonaparte.
		Haley Mills (her father played the senior Robinson) narrates a very short piece comprised of newsreel footage of her visit to the opening of the Swiss Family Treehouse attraction at Disneyland.
		It's hard for family films to retain their entertainment value even after a few years, and the fact that this one has done so after more than 40 years speaks volumes about the dedication of those involved with it.

	GreenCine \| product main - Swiss Family Robinson (Bonus Disc) (1960) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		None of the many cinemadaptations of Johan Wyss' The Swiss Family Robinson are as relentlessly enjoyable as this 1960 Disney feature.
		While the mother (Dorothy McGuire) isn't too happy about being a castaway, the father (John Mills) and the sons (James MacArthur, Tommy Kirk, Kevin Corcoran) are thrilled at the prospect of carving out a new life for themselves.
		A box-office winner to the tune of $30 million, The Swiss Family Robinson proved beyond doubt that Disney's decision to emphasize the humor and adventure of the Wyss original, while downplaying the sociopolitical undertones, was a sound one.

	Swiss Family Robinson (1960) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		It's easy to see why this movie is a nostalgic fave of anybody who saw it in childhood - it's full of juvenile adventure, animals, an idyllic family life, and no unpleasantness.
		Father (John Mills) and Mother (the ceaselessly annoying and self-righteous Dorothy McGuire) wind up with their kids marooned on a tropical paradise, and experience not a single crisis or injury until a whole fleet of pirates attacks their ass - and even then, all that happens is that dad's arm gets hurt a bit.
		The familial unit has been transformed to a hellhole, isolation occurs through alienation rather than geography, you can't rely on yourself and succeed, and sadism rather than light-hearted hijinks is the call to order.
