Some quite remarkable confrontations between the human cast and wild animals. especially a monster brown Kodiac bear, wolves and even a whale dramatically enliven this sharply paced, realistically acted and directed, stunningly photographed on actual Alaskan locations, modern and up-to-date Swiss Family Robinson.It's a well-constructed film that maintains interest right throughout its running time, despite some cliches of plot and characterization. The director has an eye for the dramatically effective shot, the film editing is delightfully sharp. In fact, all the technical credits throughout are highly professional.What's more, the drama is put across with punch!

Just watched the movie, may have seen it years before. I thought it was entertaining, fun, and worth the time. Great family entertainment, nothing objectionable. The acting was not the best, but they did an ok job. I happen to like boating movies and this was a good one.

The best way to describe this film would be that it has a first rate story, second rate acting and third rate production values. What do you expect from a late 70's film? You can line up "Rollercoaster" & "Scavenger hunt" along the edge as well-what you see is what you get.This is a good story, it's just isn't executed very well. This would be a better movie if they have good production values-it just doesn't. I was never crazy about Robert Logan from "Wilderness Family" fame. Isn't any wonder why he isn't well known?A family attempts a voyage around the world on a sail boat-that run into trouble-you guessed it-A storm and they are shipwrecked. Do I need say more?I enjoy this movie on a rainy day when I want pass 1 hour & 40 minutes or so of time.

I think this is a great children's movie. I enjoyed this movie when I was five and I still enjoy it today. The movie has a little bit if everything in it, excitement, danger, romance, comedy etc. I think the acting was very good. The scenery was beautiful. There were a lot of fun scenes in the movie. I like the part when they are trying to catch the salmon and the scene where the dad lets the deer free. It is definitely a movie I would recommend for young children. It was very enjoyable without sex, drugs and violence.
