- Another Disney Disaster
Excellent movie, but why does Disney keep giving us fans the dreaded Pan and Scan versions of great movies? The future of TV is 16X9 TV sets, we want WIDESCREEN versions of movies. When dvd's first came out, they were full screen on one side, widescreen on the other. Now we don't even get the choice. Bummer!

- Memory Lane Movie
Love this movie! I first saw it when I was four (this is when I began my love for Gabriel Byrne), and held onto the vhs until it was lost a few years ago. Showed it to friends who would enjoy the story, and the cleanness of the film. As much fun to watch now as back then. Glad for the DVD version! It's great for the family, parents and kids alike will enjoy the adventure. This movie is a treasure, one that should be in your collection. Yes, low budget film, but good "old fashioned" Disney. There's a reality involved, with a child having to become a man to help his family survive, and learning to live in a new world and still be himself. Amazingly fun!

- Good adventure movie
I first saw Shipwrecked on the Disney Channel during the 1990s, when I was a teen. I saw it again recently on the Hallmark Channel. So glad that Amazon will be finally selling it on DVD.

Shipwrecked is about a Norwegian boy, named Hakon, who works on a ship to pay off debts for his family. The movie is an epic sea adventure in the tradition of Treasure Island or Swiss Family Robinson. If you enjoy those types of movies, you will like this movie.

- Adventurous and Heartwarming
In this film entitled Ship Wrecked (or Haakon Haakonsen) directed by Nils Gaup, a young Norwegian boy named Haakon [see bottom right DVD release cover] (played by Stian Smestad) volunteers to work as a cabin boy after his father receives an injury that prevents him from earning money for his family and paying back a debt owed to a fellow Norwegianer. While on the ship, Haakon becomes suspicious of Lt. John Merrick [man holding the pistol on the DVD cover] (played by Gabriel Byrne). However, before Haakon can inform the captain (played by Kjell Stormoen) of his suspicious, the captain "dies." While the captain's death is naturally suspicious, there was nothing Haakon or the crew could do except resign themselves to Lt. John Merrick's dictatorial leadership.

Without giving away anything more than the rising action, let this review state that the film is rather predictable - a blend between a Home Alone ... Read More
