User Reviews for: The Island at the Top of the World

Discovered this the other day in a tin of DVDs. It is a little bit far-fetched, but nonetheless a smashing Disney family adventure about a millionaire who sets off to the Arctic in an airship with a professor and a slightly grumpy French captain (the frequently scene-stealing Jacques Marin) to track down his missing son. They pick up an unwilling Eskimo en route to a volcanic island inhabited by long lost Vikings and there their enterprise begins. There is some lovely scenery and wildlife photography interspersed with the action and the dramatic scenes hold up well after almost 50 years. The acting isn't great nor is the script, but it boasts a fine Maurice Jarre score and it did take me fondly down memory lane back to when I saw this in the cinema aged 7.
