Description:
Escape to an island full of castaway comedy as Disney favorite Dick Van Dyke and Nancy Kwan star in this hilarious South Pacific adventure. Lt. Robin Crusoe (Van Dyke) is an all-thumbs Navy pilot who ditches his plane after engine trouble. He survives a riotous raft ride only to find himself marooned on a lush tropical island with a poker-playing chimp, a gadget-rich abandoned sub, and Wednesday (Kwan) -- a wild but beautiful native girl in exile for disobeying her overprotective father. You won't stop laughing as all the natives get restless in this paradise of clowning and chaos.

Shortly after Dick Van Dyke played Bert in Mary Poppins, he starred as Lt. Robin Crusoe in this lesser known 1966 comedy, splendidly showcasing his myriad comedic talents in a South seas setting. Families who remember Van Dyke’s riotous romp as Navy-pilot-turned-island-native will appreciate this digital release of the original film. The laughs begin from the moment Crusoe is marooned at sea on a military-issue rubber raft and fights off a shark while reading a step-by-step survival guide. By the time he washes ashore on the island, discovers the wonders of bamboo, and stumbles upon a poker-playing astro-Chimp, audiences are given over to the gigglefest. Nancy Kwan, as Wednesday, adds to the merriment as the island’s other castaway who plays a humorous game of charades with Crusoe before revealing her status as an exile, having escaped her overprotective father. With the battle cry, 'Women have rights too,' Crusoe and Wednesday prepare for the inevitable patriarchal showdown, a madcap misadventure. While special features are sorely lacking--such as an interview with Van Dyke--this decent family flick remains a rich Disney relic. (Ages 4 and older) --Lynn Gibson

Rating:  - Ouch. 1.5 is closer
A friend recommended this. I shared my copy of Thomasina for him and his children, he reciprocated with this for me and my 9 year old grandson. He got the better deal.
Where to list all the things wrong with this? It is a cheaply made, cheesy, limp, insulting, vaguely racist and stupid film, with so many qualities lacking and so few going for it. And though my grandson pronounced it good, he barely laughed. Dick Van Dyke's bumbling and stumbling got tiring in about 3 minutes. Could this ... Read More
Rating: - Great Family Movie
Even after all these years, this is still a great family movie. I was afraid that my kids would not like it as it is an older movie, however they loved it!
Rating:  - Just as good as I remember
Many years ago I saw this movie on tv and loved it. I'd nearly forgotten about it until I had kids of my own. This is a wonderful family movie that is pure Disney entertainment. While it's true that Disney over charges and the DVD is not in wide screen, digitalized and everything else you can imagine that just simply doesn't matter. The picture quality is fantastic, the movie is wonderful and Dick Van Dyke is great.
Rating: - awesome!!!
I've always loved this movie since I was a kid. It reminds me of my family when I was growing up.
Rating: - I saw this when it first came out.
I was 8 and now I still remember some of the scenes after 40 years. It was quite a fun movie and surely left a great impression on me.
