swissfamilyrobinson

It was really hard to talk about anything other than the treehouse. We thought we loved this movie but really we just LOVED that treehouse, or to put it simply: "Look, I'm not an ostrich expert." It is a weird outlier for this podcast but both Celey & Nora were obsessed as kids and we just had to revisit this Disney flick from 1960. Spoiler: the animals and many humans are not treated...great.

Swiss Family Robinson.

Throughout the 1950s, the Walt Disney Company began to branch out from animation and get into making more live action films, may of these were in the action-adventure genre with movies like, Treasure Island, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, the Davy Crockett series and so much more.

In this episode of The 602 Club hosts Matthew Rushing and Christy Morris talk about the classic Disney film, Swiss Family Robinson. We discuss our first shipwreck, filming, the important things, pros and cons, chivalry isn't dead, the cast, the pirates, does it hold up, ratings and recommendations.
