Swiss Family Robinson (1940)
Now available on Disney+...I'll take the 1960 version anyday

Made the mistake of watching this after watching the 1960 version. I do not understand what the other reviews liked about it (not that the 1960 version is perfect). The movie is very 1940s (a la 1800s) religious, "the man rules his family" norms and VERY heavy handed. There also is no way that these people would have had the kind of hands-on-knowledge that you see in the movie. They would have perished.
I made myself watch the entire movie: just save yourself the time.
