Storyline
A family in route to New Guinea is shipwrecked on a deserted tropical island. They are forced to remain on the island because of the damage to the ship and the pirates that are roaming the islands. They create a home on the island (centering around a huge tree house) and explore the island and its wildlife. Plenty of adventure ensues as the family deals with issues of survival and pirates, and the brothers must learn how to live on the island with an uncertain future.

Anybody that votes or has voted less than a 5 on this has either lied about watching it or has gotten a little to caught up on political correctness, or has found poor taste in movies. Basically, if you were orphaned at birth and nobody adopted you and became a neo-nazi, this MAY be something you won't find interesting.
This is among the early Disney Classics & Greats. A great cast put into a pirate tale that brings the whole family together. Though the screenplay is a bit old and the music sounds as if its from 'Gone With The Wind', what else would you expect from the time this was made?
A family is shipwrecked on an uncharted island and they make do with the means and supplies they have. They build an exotic home on what seems like an island paradise. In an effort to get a better idea of where they are and what they have to deal with, the older two sons go out on an exploration of the island. While around the other side, they meet up with pirates holding two hostages. They take the youth hostage per the captive father's request and head on back to the camp to notify their parents and prepare if the pirates happen to come their way.
There is a wonderful action battle that brings classic excitement to all those young and old. In the true form of a Disney Classic, the storyline and character development is done beautifully.
This is one of those items you'd go to the theater to see on the BIG SCREEN multiple time if it were available again. Definite add to the collection.
