Better Than Average Family Film - Shipwrecked

The producers here tried to imitate The Black Stallion (without the horse) and Treasure Island (without the brutality and fear). The net result is a pleasant, if not too thrilling DIsney -type family film about living the fantasy of being shipwrecked. In real life, the protagonist would most likely have been drowned, or died from exposure and starvation. But this is Disney. Those things don't happen in Disney world. A pleasant family film for an hour or so.The movie holds up very well for the first forty minutes or so, and the introduction of the gorilla is interesting. But as my film school professor would have said; "you should never introduce an interesting character without some type of resolution for that character. It is like leaving a pot of boiling water on the stove without coming back to it." Much of the latter part of the film is just silly, and has no relation to reality, but we bear it because we want a happy ending. No, not that kind of happy ending; don't be disgusting.

Narrowly enjoyable

Feels repetitive due to previous Disney films, but I still felt satisfied with 'Shipwrecked'.Nothing is particularly memorable about it, admittedly. The cast aren't all that, while the cinematography and editing isn't amazing. The dialogue is basic, as is the premise - which feels as if it has taken different parts from the studio's other work.Those include 'Treasure Island', 'Kidnapped', 'In Search of the Castaways' and 'Swiss Family Robinson'. The source material by Oluf Falck-Ytter is apparently inspired by some of the same things as those are, so I guess it's no surprise. Either way, I'm not convinced Disney needed to tackle this area once again.I will say, by the conclusion, I did feel content enough with the film; helped by the short run time, no doubt. Straightforward and a little plain, but narrowly enjoyable.
