Movie for a Sunday afternoon: "Swiss Family Robinson"(1960)

You Tube ^ | 1960 | Walt Disney

With this week being Thanksgiving, I'd thought I'd pick a film about the importance family: Walt Disney's 1960 version of Johann David Wyss' classic adventure novel.

The book is much better. The movie was a disappointment (I own a copy on VHS.)

Just think what a 2013 remake would look like

A wonderful movie.

A true "family film" of the kind that simply is not made anymore.

[BenLurkin]

Please.

Please.

PLEASE, no!

The father would be a complete idiot and functionally incompetent. They’d work a homosexual couple into the mix and instead of pirates they would be attacked by Christian missionaries.

Does that about cover modern Disney/Hollywood?

The tv series was pretty decent.

It's so sad and true! But I can't stop laughing.

Don't forget all the preachy environmental messages as they preserve the pristine island.

Ok, ok...loved that movie as a kid....
*sigh* ....and James McArthur!!!
And the Tree House was a favorite place in Disneyland...
Alas, it is no more.....

Sad but true. Today’s movies may be slicker but the cultural marxism they espouse is a turn off. And every anti-father message is not only an attack on dads and men in general but ultimately the Heavenly Father Himself. That’s why I love movies made prior to the Hays Code being abolished in the mid to late 1960s.

Good tagline about Obama phones being bread and circuits. Needs a rimshot to go with it:

Always interesting how many old movies are available at Youtube

[rockrr]

What a coincidence - I just (re)watched it yesterday with one of my kids.

[Zuriel]

Under the importance of family and survival, here’s one that’s more than likely tame compared to what is coming soon: “Panic in the Year Zero” (1962).

And still a lot of “Conservative-Christians” enrich those who make this garbage. When we criticize them we're told to “lighten up, it's just a movie.”

They end up filling their kids minds with godless filth and then they wonder why their kids grow up and reject Christian-Conservative values.

Thank you, Darlin’! I was afraid that you had forgotten me!
