I have very fond memories of reading The Swiss Family Robinson when I was a child. My father had a leather-bound, illustrated edition that intrigued and delighted me. There were amazing adventure contained within its pages – the shipwreck! The tents! The never-ending parade of exotic animals! The creation of homes, amazing homes, in trees and caves! Building a ship! Sinking a ship! There was more danger and excitement in each chapter than my entire suburban existence had offered me at that point, and I thrilled to it. However, my recent re-read left a bad taste in my mouth. There is quite a lot of sexism and moralizing in this novel.

3. Swiss Family Robinson (1960) - Decent Films
Disney's family adventure classic, loosely based on the 1812 novel by Swiss pastor Johann David Wyss, is chock-full of exotic locations and animals.
The film simplifies the original story in many ways, reducing the book’s four sons to three and the half-dozen or so homesteads and plantations the Robinsons build to the one famous treehouse. Wyss’s fantastical menagerie, which included penguins, kangaroos, flamingos, lions, and boa constrictors living side by side, is only slightly restrained by a century and a half of scientific advancement, and the book’s strong element of religious devotion and moral discipline is largely reduced in the film to a moment of silent prayer on the beach.
