Continuity: When Jacob is holding a gun on Pickles, he is initially holding it in his right hand, but when the camera angles changes a couple times, he is suddenly holding it in his left hand.

Quotes:

Ernst Robinson:Girls. If it weren't for girls, I'd never go back. Would you?
Fritz Robinson:What about books? You'd go back for books.
Ernst Robinson:Well, obviously books! But apart from girls and books...
Fritz Robinson:Music.
Ernst Robinson:True.
Fritz Robinson:So, apart from music, food, books, and girls, you'd stay on our island.
[long pause]
Fritz Robinson:And Jacob.
[long pause]
Fritz Robinson:You know, if he's found his way back to London, he's probably having a wonderful time with the music, food, books, and girls. In fact, he's probably thinking "If it weren't for the music, food, books, and girls, I'd go back there and search for my family."

Movie Connections:

Version of The New Swiss Family Robinson (1998)

A Must See

A film for all the family. The Sets are incredible with a fine cast to grace them especially the young Jacob (Charlie Lucas)who is a star in the making. The story is close to the original but with the help of modern technology the special affects stand out.
