*****
Based on the classic 1812 Johann Wyss book, Swiss Family Robinson tells the tale of a family of five that gets shipwrecked on a tropical island after being pursued by pirates. Life on a tropical island can be fun but work is involved too - the family has to struggle together to build a treehouse that will keep them safe from the island's tiger. Later the two oldest boys save a girl from the pirates and then compete to see which one of the two can win her affections. This is a wonderful, old-fashioned film that parents can use to discuss just why it is a man's (and even a boy's) role to be women's protector. WARNING: While most of the violence in this film is softened (a tiger, rather than maul its victims, sends them flying high into the air) there are intense scenes near the end of the film (as the pirates attack) that would scare young children.
