Saturday Night is Movie Night


In Disney's 1960 version, this happily shipwrecked family leads the life every child dreams of. The Swiss Family Robinson live in a fantastic treehouse that they build themselves, and have races riding their ostrich, zebra, and two massive Great Danes. They use rescued scraps from their ship and the bounty of the island to make ingenious, machines. (With the water slide and the swinging vines, the whole island looks suspiciously like a Disney theme park.) As if all that weren't enough, there's a tremendous pirate gun battle and sword fight, complete with elaborate booby traps.
Rent this great Disney film and enjoy it this weekend with your family-Little imaginations still need stirring-This movie is a classic that does not need modern special effects.
