Swiss Family Robinson (1960), 2 Stars

I loved this Disney movie when I was young and it still holds up (though with some 1960's/ 1800's attitudes). I didn't realize this was a remake of a 1940 version and remade in 1998 (with Jane Seymour).

There is a strong cast: Sir John Mills (Gandhi), Dorothy McGuire (Friendly Persuasion), Kevin Corcoran (Pollyanna), Tommy Kirk (Shaggy Dog), and James MacArthur & Janet Munro (who were both in Third Man on the Mountain [aka Banner in the Sky].

It drags in places and is downright silly in others, but young kids will enjoy it as a rental.
