Loosely based upon Swiss Family Robinson, a novel written by Johann David Wyss, The Swiss Family Robinson employs a changed family dynamic. Now instead of four sons (Fritz, Ernest, Jack, and Franz) the family consists of a father, mother and their three children Fritz, Rebecca and Jack. As in the book, the family is shipwrecked on a mysterious but fertile island. It is on this island that they face great hardships that threaten their supplies, livestock and even their very lives. Though the family eventually comes to believe that this island will be their final home, new shipwreck survivors change circumstances, and just in time! The island they all live on is volcanic!
Cautions: none. The Swiss Family Robinson contains no swearing or extreme violence.
