    Where is this Wonderful Family Movie?
    This great warm adventure film about a little boy and a pirate shipwrecked on a deserted island is a joy to watch. Pedro Armendize can play a pirate almost as good as Robert Newton. Terry Rango is also good as the little boy and Robert Palmer plays him grown up. When I was a kid it was shown on most of the local TV channels and was even shown twice at my local theaters as a kiddie matinée. It was released by a major movie company, 20 Centry Fox. But now it is not shown anywhere that I know of, neither has it been released on video or DVD. Why? Who is holding it back? Parents everywhere, write or e-mail Fox and the DVD companies and request it's release. Today's children don't know what they are missing. At long last you can watch it online. Now please, please release it on DVD!
