5/5 In Search of the Castaways
  by Terri Ballard (Newark, Ohio USA)
I love Hayley Mills movies and was delighted that I was able to get this movie on DVD. I have many of her movies on VHS and want to slowly turn those into DVDs. I would highly advise anyone who is a Hayley Mills fan to add this to your collection. Added bonus that it also has Maurice Chevalier in the movie. What more could you ask for in a good family movie.

2/5 Why full-screen? Disney is missing the boat.
  by Bob Bernet (Dallas, TX)
There are countless DVDs I would purchase from Disney if they would just release them in the original widescreen format they were filmed in. I just viewed a rented version of this film only to discover that "Castaways" is only available in full screen format! This is a fine film and there is no good excuse for it to be limited to a full screen format. I remember seeing it in the theater as a young boy - and even then I vividly recall the widescreen picture. Don't buy this "shot in full screen" excuse. That is simply not true. The biggest question is, "Why is Disney continuing to do this?" Especially since all the new TVs are widescreen. Doesn't make good business sense at all. In the meantime, the consumer is getting short-changed.

5/5 Fantastic fun

It is one of the greatest movies that has ever been made.
The story and all of the adventures that take place all over the globe is fun.

Ok, Disney! Let's get our act together (remember, even Hayley Mills sang "Let's Get Together). Please release this fun adventure in widscreen.

Fun! Great for the whole family. Some good lessons for kids to learn in it too ("Enjoy it!").
Enjoy!
