      It was interesting to see a globe in Edward's room showing an accurately-shaped North America, considering this was supposed to be about 1547, and Columbus had been to the West Indies only in 1492.

    Extremly Predictable and Largely Boring

    Disney was really into hiring one child actor to play multiple roles. However, unlike their success in this in The Parent Trap films, Scully just isn't quite up to the task. Each of the boys is clearly written, but the layers of deception are lost under a doe-eyed dullness.
