Reminds me a little of The Last Flight Of Noah's Ark

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.

A Movie that Will Insult the Intelligence of Everyone in Your Family

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.

For children only

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..

Why Swiss?

This is a genuinely dreadful film for all the reasons previously mentioned; but the question which sprang out a mile, is why on earth, after changing so much of the story from the original and dropping all references to Switzerland or anything Swiss, did Disney still call it "The New Swiss Family Robinson"? For heaven's sake, at the start of the film the family boat was even flying a US flag rather than the Swiss flag. Why not just call the film "The Family Robinson"? It makes no sense at all. Can't believe that no one else has questioned this. But I guess that just sums up the naffness of the film as a whole.

Great Family Adventure

I like this movie very much. I especially like some of the twists and turns the plot takes. Although some of it is unbelievable that's ok because of the type of family movie it is.It is nice to see James Keach and Jane Seymour working together as husband and wife since they really are. A good movie all around for all ages to enjoy.

Trivia
This film made national news as the trained jaguar took a bite out of one of the people on the set. The next week the same jaguar attacked a stunt person. The jaguar was retired.

Goofs
In the closing scenes, as Anna, Elizabeth, and Francoise race in the speedboat toward the pirate ship, they are supposed to be in a remote, uninhabited part of the ocean. But in the background a seaport with docks, buildings, and boats is clearly visible.
