Talk:Swiss Family Robinson (1960 film)

Location

The movie states the family going to Kaiser-Wilhelmsland, which wasn't founded till 1884, so how could the family be fleeing the Napoleanoic wars? Is this a mistake of Disney or of the person writing the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.26.75.179 (talk) 04:47, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

In an early scene, when the family has gotten ashore and is camped out on the beach, the Mother says to the Father that they did the right thing leaving Europe, due to "Napoleon Bonaparte grabbing up more and more" and her fear that her sons would have ended up fighting in a war. The film never mentions Kaiser-Wilhelmsland...the dialog only says that they are going to a new colony in New Guinea. It never says the name of the colony. --IllaZilla (talk) 07:01, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Style of writing

The style of writing is rather informal and the language could be further improved. Unfortunately, as I have not seen the show I can't edit several parts like "The tiger tried to get its claws on the dogs, but they wouldn't let him touch them, and then BAM!", also is the ending really "Roberta spotted the pirates, alerts the others who soon head for the fortress..." I think that there is no need to write in such detail and unnecessary information could be cut out, and the main plot should take priority. --M3rrick 02:02, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Urban legend?

The original cast called for a fourth son who was rather ponchier and round, named Patrick Malloy Robinson. He was later cut from the cast when he was found sleeping with one of the other male cast members. The Patrick Malloy Robinson incident was covered up by the crew and never made the tabloids.

What evidence is there for this?--Jess Gordon 20:19, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

I deleted this item. There has been some past juvenile vandalism of this article from anonymous IPs, and this is clearly another such incident. StanislavJ 02:42, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
