Allein auf der Pirateninsel

Disney has stooped low before, for example the remake of South Pacific but this is just low. I decided to give the movie a chance after all I do fondly remember the original Swiss Family Robinson. This movie sucked plain and simple. If Jane Seymor's career wasn't dying already this movie just gave it a good shot in the foot with a rusty bullet. The acting is horrible the actors especially the swiss family children are completely obnoxious. One would have to be a complete moron not to get this movie. If I were a child I would divorce my parents if that made me watch this crap. What happened to Disney? I think its Michael Eisner and his quest for family values. Walt Disney is rolling in his grave over this one.

I pretty much enjoy anything in it with Jane Seymour. This is a good family film that shows how a loving family can come together and overcome anything, even pirates and shark attacks! The theme of people being shipwrecked sort of reminded me of The Last Flight Of Noah's Ark which in my opinion is the best Disney film ever made! This is a beautiful film to look at and the animals are really funny. There is also a wonderful scene where Jane is sick and throwing up in a big bucket that is really funny. A nice way to waste two hours.

The family Robinson is shipwrecked on a desert island.The New Swiss Family Robinson (1998) is directed by Stewart Raffill.It's based on the 1812 novel by Johann David Wyss.The real life couple, Jane Seymour and James Keach play Anna and Jack Robinson.The kids, Shane, Todd and Elizabeth are played by John Mallory Asher, Blake Bashoff and Jamie Renée Smith.The villain, Sheldon Blake, is played by the late David Carradine.Yumi Iwama plays Francoise.I think this movie is better than most people give credit for.First of all, it's rather exciting to watch this family trying to cope on a desert island.They have to build a house there, then they face all kinds of dangers, like bumping into a panther and a snake.And meeting with the pirates brings a little action into this movie.And there's also a romantic subplot between Shane and the French plane wreck survivor Francoise.I think the whole family can enjoy this ride.

I am in lack of words as to how amazed I am, that this movie exists..

This movie contains very serious with pirates shooting and wild animals (sharks, panther, crocs, apes...), and in other times the movie changes to almost circus clown comedy. As a result it is nothing but a poor script with ridiculous comedy twists, and with so bad special effects and film editing tricks.

To not be insulted by this movie at least a couple of times is impossible, unless you are very very young, or like very childish unthought movies.

I am amazed I haven't changed the channel after one hour, but more amazed that it is being shown 20:00 on a Saturday.. this should be shown at 06:00 in the morning, when adults sleep...

The orangutang is the worst part of this movie, please adults do not waste time on this, you will hit yourself..

It is a watchable movie. But the Jack Robinson character is flat as a pancake. He was just going through the motions of the script. He did what he was supposed to do, and that was it. My dog displays emotion better than he did. Really ruined what could have been a pretty good movie. Think the director really dropped the ball. Something traumatic happens, and he behaves as if he's in a hurry to shorten the movie. Made the story unbelievable.
