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.

Trivia

During construction of the Robinson's tree house residence, Father Robinson shows Mother Robinson the stairs to their bedroom saying, "This is your own circular stairway"; perhaps a reference to Dorothy McGuire's popular 1945 film The Spiral Staircase, as the stairway is obviously 'straight' and not circular.

Goofs

When Father is lighting the bombs using a torch it loses ignition and gains it again throughout the scene. See more »

Quotes

Father Robinson: The world is full of nice, ordinary little people who live in nice, ordinary little houses on the ground. But didn't you ever dream of a house up on a tree top?
Mother Robinson: No! Mostly I dream of having a house in New Guinea.

A great adventure movie for the family
24 May 2002 | by (San Francisco, CA) – See all my reviews

I loved this movie growing up, and had to get the recent DVD. It's great! The extras are wonderful and the movie is even better. I love Disney movies, but some of the older live-action movies get annoying to me after awhile. This one doesn't. I love to imagine myself on that island with all the animals and fighting pirates. It's great. I definitely recommend it!
