    What were they thinking..?

    This movie begs the question: was it made by a Film School as a worst-case scenario as to what will happen if you sleep in class? One would think that Disney had the resources to avoid a thoroughly mindless disaster like this. Watch it only if you're a film student or if you like to slap you forehead constantly for 90 minutes.

    Completely awful!!

    I can't actually believed i sat through 3 quarters of an hour watching this rubbish, the acting is terrible and plot was so unbelievable (although it did make for a cheap laugh) i recommend watching the shark attack, its so unrealistic and funny. If you're really really bored i guess you could watch it for a laugh but other then that i wouldn't recommend to anyone, its that bad, and to top it all off its got Dr Quinn medicine woman in it! awful!!

    Not so hot

    It is a watchable movie. But the Jack Robinson character is flat as a pancake. He was just going through the motions of the script. He did what he was supposed to do, and that was it. My dog displays emotion better than he did. Really ruined what could have been a pretty good movie. Think the director really dropped the ball. Something traumatic happens, and he behaves as if he's in a hurry to shorten the movie. Made the story unbelievable.

    Reminds me a little of The Last Flight Of Noah's Ark

    I pretty much enjoy anything in it with Jane Seymour. This is a good family film that shows how a loving family can come together and overcome anything, even pirates and shark attacks! The theme of people being shipwrecked sort of reminded me of The Last Flight Of Noah's Ark which in my opinion is the best Disney film ever made! This is a beautiful film to look at and the animals are really funny. There is also a wonderful scene where Jane is sick and throwing up in a big bucket that is really funny. A nice way to waste two hours.

    Great Family Adventure

    I like this movie very much. I especially like some of the twists and turns the plot takes. Although some of it is unbelievable that's ok because of the type of family movie it is.It is nice to see James Keach and Jane Seymour working together as husband and wife since they really are. A good movie all around for all ages to enjoy.

    • Trivia
      This film made national news as the trained jaguar took a bite out of one of the people on the set. The next week the same jaguar attacked a stunt person. The jaguar was retired.
    • Goofs
      In the closing scenes, as Anna, Elizabeth, and Francoise race in the speedboat toward the pirate ship, they are supposed to be in a remote, uninhabited part of the ocean. But in the background a seaport with docks, buildings, and boats is clearly visible.
