Reviews

"Disney has spared no expense in making it as vivid and appealing as possible . . . he has found a way to reach two audiences simultaneously, the very young and the more sophisticated."

- Arthur Knight, SATURDAY REVIEW

"Grand adventure yarn . . . it’s hard to imagine how the picture could be better as a rousing, humorous and gentle-hearted tale of family love amid primitive isolation and dangers."

- Howard Thompson, NEW YORK TIMES

"In his brilliant version of SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON, Walt Disney has his most exciting, most expensive picture to date. All of the elements of top entertainment, in the best Disney manner are there: adventure, romance, humor, a multitude of animals, and one of the strongest casts."
