...Parent Trap (Buena Vista) might be expected to create pandemic jaundice among adult viewers, since it concerns the efforts of teen-aged twins to kid their divorced parents into remarrying. Surprisingly, the film is delightful-mostly because of 15-year-old Hayley Mills, the blonde button nose who played the endearing delinquent in Tiger...
Islands of the Sea (Buena Vista), the most recent of Walt Disney's ain't-nature-grand operas, is a scrappy but fascinating "featurette" (28 minutes) that observes in full color the recondite fauna of several seldom-visited islands-the Galápagos, the Falklands and Guadalupe.

Ostensibly, the film is based on the world-famed boy's book, published in 1812-13, by Johann Wyss, who was inspired by Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe to produce his own castaway chronicle and give his principal characters the good old Swiss name of Robinson...
