As Novas Aventuras da Família Robinson

I can't actually believed i sat through 3 quarters of an hour watching this rubbish, the acting is terrible and plot was so unbelievable (although it did make for a cheap laugh) i recommend watching the shark attack, its so unrealistic and funny. If you're really really bored i guess you could watch it for a laugh but other then that i wouldn't recommend to anyone, its that bad, and to top it all off its got Dr Quinn medicine woman in it! awful!!

This movie begs the question: was it made by a Film School as a worst-case scenario as to what will happen if you sleep in class? One would think that Disney had the resources to avoid a thoroughly mindless disaster like this. Watch it only if you're a film student or if you like to slap you forehead constantly for 90 minutes.

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.

I watched this movie a few times and I think that it's okay, but it's not enough to be considered a full-out survival movie like with some of the other films that Stewart Rafill had produced in the 1970s, including "The Adventures of the Wilderness Family" and "Across the Great Divide." For one thing, the Robinson family may have been stranded on an island after their boat sinks, but unlike the original Robinson's in Johann David Wyss' novel, there are no animal survivors with them, not even a couple of dogs or even a few chickens. For another, sustaining off of crayfish and fish caught in the island streams isn't enough to replenish the Robinsons' food supply when their food rations ran short. If Stewart Rafill could go back to 1998 and remake the film all over again, he should've added an extra 10-20 minutes to his film by adding these additional scenes and creatures;

1. The Robinsons' family dogs (2-3 German shepherds, pit bulls, or another dog breed) accompany the family on their seaward journey and survive the shipwreck. The dogs become their guardians and help them to hunt for food. 2. In addition to building their island home and fishing in the streams, the Robinsons also plant crops and grow corn, tomatoes, carrots, lettuce, and peppers. They also find and harvest an abundance of fruits that grow on the island, including bananas, figs, peaches, limes, lemons, and pomegranates. 3. Anna Robinson and her daughter encounter the panther that Jack had seen a few weeks earlier, only to be rescued by Jack and the dogs who drive the panther away. 4. Elizabeth finds a baby monkey while going for a walk in the jungle and adopts it as a pet. The monkey causes a little mischief at first and sometimes annoys the family, but soon adepts we'll into the family by bringing them figs and other fruits that it finds in the tall fruit trees. 5. Jack and his sons discover a herd of wild goats and decide to capture a couple of them. After a few failed attempts, they successfully lasso and capture three goats which they soon tame and raise for milk. One of the goats also gives birth to a pair of kids, and Elizabeth is named legal guardian of the new additions to their goat herd. 6. In one scene during Francoise's stay on the island, Anna shows her how to milk the goats, Elizabeth and Francoise gather vegetables from the garden, and Shane and Todd show her how to fish in the river. 7. When two of the pirates confront the girls and Anna sprays their eyes with the makeshift pepper spray, the blinded pirates are then attacked by the dogs who come to the girls' aid. 8. During the last scene of the movie before the credits roll in, it should be shown that the Robinsons' dogs, goats, and pet monkey are also taken aboard the ship and accompany their owners back to civilization.

If Stewart Rafill read this, he'd be thinking, "You know, I never thought of that. If I went back in time to the year I was making this film, I could've added those scenes to the movie. But there's nothing I can do about that, I suppose."
