Loved it as a kid. Who wouldn't want to live in that treehouse.

Not as great as I remembered it as a child. I think it would have been a better movie if the youngest child had been eaten by the tiger when they first arrived on the island. Still has some fun parts, and the treehouse is just as spectacular as it was then. But man, you can tell this was made before filmmakers were concerned with animal safety.

It's quite insane to see what they could did with animals back in 1960, no way that would fly today. Aside from that, the movie is entertaining and heartwarming. The transition from shipwrecked to mansion-in-the-trees is a bit hard to believe but just run with it.

A film I loved as a kid. Still looks quite good for it's age, but it has to be said many of the performances are pretty rubbish and some of the characters are quite annoying. Even so the production values are good, and it's a great kids movie.

It's like a contest to see which of these characters is more annoying. Willful disregard for the animals in the film and a stupid plot more intent on silly set pieces than a smooth flowing story don't help.

I loved this movie as a kid, but it just doesn't stand the test of time. The youngest kid is a brat that seems to get them into more trouble than he's worth. They should have just left him on the shipwrecked boat. And at the end, do the pirates actually die? They get thrown off the cliffs, shot, rolled over with gigantic logs, but they seem to get up and brush themselves off right after.

This is a great film! It's a wonderful, delightful story with everything from pirates, to tigers, action, adventure, romance, elephants and a tree house! But, there's many wonderful lines and a great scene between the parents where you can see how much of a "unit" the two are and how they help each other. It's a great family film, and it shows how great family can be. I love it, it's a classic and a favorite of mine, and it stands the test of time!:D

Very funny movie, I have never seen a baby elephant, tiger, ostrich, donkey and zebra on a lonely island.

I watched this movie a hundred times growing up.

It's a fun film but has some bad acting and it's way too long for its own good.

Thought this was so fucking cool as a kid, lol.

Home Alone! on an island. It's certainly entertaining.

I was far more interested in a survival story and establishing the camp so the film peaked early on. Instead I got Home Alone on an island for the rest of the movie with whiny kids. Impressive animal budget. I wish they spent more time showing the treehouses being developed in a more realistic timeframe. Fav scene: showing off the amenities of the treehouses and enjoying the waterslides.
