Read the Jules Verne Book Instead
The only thing this movie has in common w/the book is the fact that they're searching for Captain Grant. Characters are nothing like they are in the book, and sometimes even swapped around. Sure, most movies based on literature will take some artistic license, but this is a little extreme. May have well been titled "Castaways, inspired by the Jules Verne book which is better in every regard".
So so movie. Just don't expect it to be anything like you may have read.
Fabulous Old-Fashioned Entertainment!
I grew up watching this movie, and while it may be counted as one of Disney's "lesser" efforts, it remains one of my favorites. Hayley Mills is adorable in this film, and the adventure kept me on the edge of my seat. Having just re-watched it, I can admit that the film is dated, but it's lost none of its charm. Great little flick, wish I could buy it.
