High adventure Disney outing is fun with Hayley Mills and none other than Maurice Chevalier.
Audience Reviews for In Search of the Castaways
It's live action, family Disney so the ending is never really in doubt. And, because of its pedigree, nothing even comes close to scandalous. It is dopey and goofy looking back on it now, but it is harmless fun. Some accents are difficult to understand and the main characters appear to share one brain (they're terribly dim). But, then again, if they were smart, there wouldn't be a movie.

It was a cute movie, some really funny parts. I almost didn't finish it, but I saw it to the end and it was okay. I wouldn't see it again, though.
Super Reviewer
A wonderful Disney adventure film that pairs Maurice Chevalier with Hayley Mills. This was one of the movies that really hooked me on classic live-action Disney productions and inspired me to go through the list to watch them all. It has become a favorite of mine. Each moment is a treasure. Enjoy it! (First viewing - Spring 2009)
