(Swiss Family Robinson theme song)

- ♫ Come sail around the world with me

ride on the waves of the deep blue sea.

Float to an island where the days are free

spend some time with my family.

The Swiss Family Robinson living in the sun.

The Swiss Family Robinson

every day is fun, fun, fun.

Friends all around me everywhere

down in the water, up in the air

all of them mean a lot to me

but my very best friends are my family.

The Swiss Family Robinson, living in the sun.

The Swiss Family Robinson

every day is fun, fun, fun.

The Swiss Family Robinson, living in the sun.

The Swiss Family Robinson

every day is fun, fun, fun.

Fun, fun, fun. Fun, fun, fun.

- [Becca] We were sailing on the Indian Ocean

when suddenly a storm came up!

Our ship crashed on a rock

and everyone but our family escaped in lifeboats.

We were left all alone on the sinking ship

then we realized that my brother Fritz was missing!

We couldn't find him anywhere.

- Fritz! - Fritz!

- Fritz, where are you?

Fritz, hey Fritz!

- Fritz, where are you?

- Come out Fritz!

- Fritz my son, where are you?

Where did he go?

(dramatic music)

- [Jack] Fritz, we can't find you!

- He must be out there somewhere, Anna.

- Maybe he got out on one of the lifeboats?

- He wouldn't have gone out on a lifeboat without us,

that's just not like him!

Maybe he's hurt and unconscious

and unable to tell us where he is.

I'm worried he's been badly injured.

- Then he's really in serious trouble

I'm afraid the doctor's office is completely flooded.

- No!

- This whole ship could sink at any moment.

And if we stay on her, we could all go down with her.

I've got to find something we can hold onto

and float with so we can get off.

- But the lifeboats are all gone,

what are we going to do now, Ernst?

Jack and I aren't able to swim, remember?

And even if we could, I don't think we'd be able

to make it, even if we had something to hold onto.

- You're right, but we've got to do something.

- Besides, I couldn't leave without Fritz,

not while there's still a chance of finding him

I just couldn't!

We must stick together no matter what happens.

- Let me give some thought to what we should do.

- We must be ready for anything.

Most important, we're a family.

We must face the chance of going down with the ship.

- We'll pray that doesn't happen.

Let's go back to our cabin.

If the ship stays upright as it is now,

our room should be safe.

It's slippery, we'll have to crawl.

- Okay!

(Anna gasps)

- Here, I have something that'll help cheer us up.

Hey, how about that, the bread isn't too bad

and we have some meat and drink too.

Here Becca, have a sandwich.

What's the matter, don't you want anything?

- I'm not hungry, dad, I'm really worried about Fritz.

- I know, but we haven't had anything to eat since yesterday

I'm sure the children are starving.

We'd better eat, Becca, even if we don't feel like it.

- Go ahead and eat just a little,

you'll feel much better if you do.

Here you are Jack.

- We'll find him, sweetheart, don't worry.

- Thanks.

- That's it, now Rebecca what about you?

- Go ahead and take it, Becca.

(thunder cracks)

- [Fritz] Captain!

- [Captain] Fritz, hang onto the wood, it's our only chance!

- Captain, I don't know how much longer I can go on

like this, is there land anywhere nearby do you think?

- I don't know, but I can still see the ship.

You've got to hang on, Fritz, no matter how hard it seems.

We'll make it back to the ship.

You've got to hang on!

The storm will let up soon, I just know it.

- I don't think I can hold on anymore captain.

- Hang on Fritz, hold on my lad.

Steady on Fritz, my boy, it's not over yet!

Oh what's that, there's something caught on my leg here.

A rope!

That's it, I'll tie you on with a lifeline.

This should keep you afloat, get it nice and tight.

There, now you'll stay above water

even if you can't hang on to the mast.

There.

(Captain cries out)

Get back to the ship! - Captain, captain!

Where are you? (dramatic music)

Captain, where are you?

Captain...

(dramatic music)

- Now that we're all full, why don't we get some sleep?

In the meantime, I'll figure out what we do next.

- Ernst, if nothing can be done

I think it would be a good idea

if you would lay down and get some rest.

- I can't sleep here, I'd roll right off the bed.

- Hmm, well then you sleep on the sofa.

Go ahead and lay your head here on the higher side.

Now, try it out.

- I don't know, it's kind of like

sleeping on the side of a hill.

- Get up Becca, let me try something.

(Ernst grunts)

There, now give that a try.

- Yes dear, that did it.

It's just perfect. - Oh, yeah!

Ahh, it's wonderful.

- There, your smile's come back, Becca.

- Well dad, you know how to do everything just right.

- Yes, there's nothing your father can't fix.

- I would like a bed like that too daddy.

- All right.

(pensive music)

(Anna sighs)

Anna, dearest, try to to forget your troubles

for a little while and get some rest.

- Yes, I will try, Ernst.

- You'll feel much better if you do.

Oh, the storm has calmed down a bit.

- Has the rain stopped?

- I'll go topside and take a look.

- I'll go.

- Anna, I think it would probably be best

for you to stay here with the children.

It's calm, the rain storm is truly over.

What a glorious sight.

Hm? What's that?

Huh?

- Where are you, my son?

Fritz, where are you?

- Did you call me?

What? Where am I?

- Oh you're still in the ship, darling,

it's all right.

- I thought I was home.

- Well, which home do you mean?

- In Switzerland, the floor doesn't rock back there.

- You're right, this is the first time the ship

stopped rocking since we left the port in London.

- I know it!

Oh, now I remember what happened.

We're shipwrecked, but we didn't sink, right mom?

- Yes, you've remembered right.

- Mom, where's dad now?

- Oh, well he's up on the deck taking a look around.

- Is it morning already?

- Yes, it was a very long night.

Did you sleep well?

- Mmhmm, oh yes I did.

Jack's still sleeping.

Jack, wake up!

- Oh please, let him keep sleeping.

- [Ernst] Anna! - Yes?

(gasps)

Oh my goodness. - Oh, Fritz!

- Ernst, what's the matter, Fritz isn't-?

- No, he's only unconscious.

Anna, could you get me a blanket please?

- Yes dear. This will warm you.

There you go, Fritz.

Ernst, where did you find him?

- He was lying on the deck near the stairs.

The action of the waves tossed him back up onto the ship.

He was tightly lashed onto a piece of driftwood.

(Ernst grunts)

I think that's what saved his life.

Ah there, his pulse is returning to normal.

Thank heaven he came back to us.

- Oh thank the Lord!

Oh Fritz, I'm glad you came back, my son.

(Anna sobs)

- Oh Fritz you came back! - You're back, you're back!

- I think he's going to be all right,

he just needs some rest.

We'll take care of him.

(Becca gasps)

- He moved!

- Oh, he moved again!

(Fritz moans)

- Oh my baby!

- Try and let him get his sleep now, Anna.

He really needs his rest.

Children, let's try and let Fritz rest.

(seagulls calling)

- The storm is gone and it's peaceful out here.

- We made it through all right, didn't we?

- Yes we did, and look what I discovered this morning.

Over there.

- It's an island, an island!

(cheerful music)

- Oh, it doesn't look like it's very far away.

The people in the lifeboats must have landed there safely.

- Well we'll get over there too,

this ship is going to sink and we need

to get off of it as soon as possible.

- But how, dad?

- I'll have to figure out some way.

- Becca, he'll think of something.

You know you're father, he'll find a way.

- Yes, I know, dad can do anything.

There's no such word as impossible in his dictionary.

- Now don't you start exaggerating, Rebecca.

There are some things I can't do,

but I don't know what they are.

(everyone laughs)

- [Becca) After Fritz got his strength back,

we quickly built a raft to carry us to the island.

There were many things we wanted to take along.

- Now now, move! Come on donkey.

He's stubborn as a mule.

Push him from behind, Fritz.

- Okay!

Come on now, move!

- Let's go now, donkey. Hmm?

- Now look, you should be glad you're getting on this raft.

You and the chickens are the only animals

we're taking with us for now.

You see? Come one now, take a jump.

That's a good boy!

- I'm impressed, you really have a way with animals, Becca.

- Oh, I may not be a doctor like you,

but maybe I will become a veterinarian.

- Oh my dear Becca.

(Ernst laughs)

- I still have to get one last thing from the ship.

Fritz, would you help me? - Sure dad.

- Oops, I forgot one last thing too!

- Oh, don't go Becca, wait!

- Right here - Gee there're a lot of rifles

- Yes there are, but we're not going to need them all.

We'll take three rifles and all the bullets.

- Are you sure three will be enough, dad?

- Yay!

- Oh goodness, what are you doing

with all of those rifles, Ernst?

- I'm afraid we'll find a use for them.

There may be wild animals on the island,

and if for nothing else these rifles will come in very handy

when we're hunting for food.

Where's Becca?

- I guess she forgot something on the ship

and ran back to get it.

- Well then I'll go and get one more thing.

- What are you going to get?

You know the ship may start sinking at any moment.

- Mmhm, but I need a pair of binoculars

and I think there are some in the captain's room.

- Down there in the cabin?

- But that's under water!

- I'll give it a try.

- Ernst, are you sure?

- I'll be very careful.

If it looks dangerous, I'll come right back.

- Let me come with you, dad.

- Not this time.

(pensive music)

(gasps for breath)

(baby laughs)

- I wonder why he's taking so long.

- Well I'm going to check.

- Fritz, what do you think you're doing?

- I'm going to swim to that mast and take a look!

- Be careful my son!

- Don't worry, I will.

(mournful music)

I've just got to find him!

Dad!

- I found them.

- Great!

- There's dad! - You're all right!

- We'll certainly need to clean these lenses

if we want to see anything through them.

- Mmhmm.

- I was afraid you were both drowning down there, Ernst.

It took you so long to come back,

I was worried about you. - Oh Anna.

- You just worry too much mother.

- Where's Becca?

- Oh my goodness, I'd completely forgotten about her.

I'll go look for her.

Becca? Where are you? Becca?

- Come one Fritz, you and I will go look for Becca too.

- Okay, here Jack.

- Becca, where are you? Becca?

- Becca, are you there? Becca?

- Here's your food, I'll leave it down here for you.

But don't eat it all at once, okay?

Now eat just a little at a time 'cause if you eat it all now

you won't have any of it left for later!

I wonder if they really understood what I meant.

Sure doesn't look like it.

Anyway, I'm leaving!

There, that should last you a few days.

I'll come back real soon, so don't die, okay?

Be good and wait for me.

I'll get you some water.

It's very important to drink lots of water.

You know, you can go without food

for up to a month if you have water.

Stay alive 'til I come back, all right?

I will come back and get you, I promise.

(sad music)

I'm sorry, I have to go.

- Oh, dear Becca! - Mom!

- I didn't know where you were,

I thought you were getting into mischief.

I was wrong, I'm so proud of you, and I'm sorry Becca.

- Oh mom, that's okay, I forgive you.

- You're a good girl, Becca.

- All right, I think we've got about everything

and we're ready to sail. - Yes sir!

- Is everyone in position?

- Aye aye skipper!

- [Becca] Yes! - [Jack] Yes.

- We're setting sail.

(cheerful music)

- See you later animals on the ship!

(everyone gasps)

- [Jack] Oh no, oh. - [Anna] It's sinking!

(dog barks)

- Oh look!

- Listen everyone, it's Brewster!

- Yeah! Brewster, Brewster!

(Brewster barks)

- Dad, dad, let's go back!

Can we go back and get him? Please, dad, please, can we?

- Oh look! Oh please dad, let's wait for him.

He wants to come with us.

- He's swimming! Don't worry, we'll wait for him.

- Brewster! Come on! - Come on!

(cheerful music)

- [Fritz] Atta boy, you can do it, you're almost here.

- That's it, come on! - Come on, you're almost here!

Just a little bit more!

(the kids giggle and cheer)

- [Becca] And so we set sail for the island,

not knowing what God had in store for us.

(peaceful music)

We wondered what the island would be like.

Would it be a peaceful, tropical paradise?

Or would it be full of wild animals, or even cannibals?

We would have to wait and see.

- ♫ Come sail around the world with me

ride on the waves of the deep blue sea

float to an island where the days are free

spend some time with my family.
