When Angelino Jack Robinson gets a new job in Australia, he decides to take his sissy wife Ann, brave sons Shane and Todd and wining daughter Elisabeth 'Lizzy' by sailing yacht from Hong Kong to Syndney. The gun he gets thrown in by Sheldon Blake proves disabled, and for a sinister reason: near Borneo, Blake's men turn up to capture them. The family escapes but loses the yacht on a reef. They build a cool camp on an island. But the pirates keep coming back, and the boys discover why: he hid a treasure in the yacht. Shane is also discovered and captured in more then one way by French plane wreck survivor Françoise, who later teams up with the family.

The New Swiss Family Robinson Audience Reviews

KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
dominique-tatum74 In this case this remake out classed the original. One of the best movies I ever seen.I haven't seen a best female supporting actress since Kim Hunter in a Street Car named Desire or Patty Duke in a Miracle Worker. This is Jane Seymour's Best film. I think she really re invented herself in this role. Action ,Adventure, Drama and comedy all in one. Best picture for 1999 should have been the New Swiss Family Robinson not American Beauty. This picture easily is as good as Titanic or Ben Hur. I think that the scores and selection of actors where better then The Return of the King. What was wrong with the Academy? I am surprise this movie didn't stay #1 at the box office for a couple of months. They need to use this movie at film school for an example of a true creative masterpiece. I really wish they would have considered making this into a franchise, like Lethal weapon or Star Wars. Its in the same caliber.
Petri Pelkonen The family Robinson is shipwrecked on a desert island.The New Swiss Family Robinson (1998) is directed by Stewart Raffill.It's based on the 1812 novel by Johann David Wyss.The real life couple, Jane Seymour and James Keach play Anna and Jack Robinson.The kids, Shane, Todd and Elizabeth are played by John Mallory Asher, Blake Bashoff and Jamie Renée Smith.The villain, Sheldon Blake, is played by the late David Carradine.Yumi Iwama plays Francoise.I think this movie is better than most people give credit for.First of all, it's rather exciting to watch this family trying to cope on a desert island.They have to build a house there, then they face all kinds of dangers, like bumping into a panther and a snake.And meeting with the pirates brings a little action into this movie.And there's also a romantic subplot between Shane and the French plane wreck survivor Francoise.I think the whole family can enjoy this ride.
dtucker86 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.
slut-for-hire Yowza! This one's a real groaner. The acting is abhorrent, the script is poorly written, and the plot is like swiss cheese. Full of holes. A 12 year old kid from Ohio could write a more interesting and realistic high seas adventure.
