An earthquake, a flash flood, an avalanche, a volcano, alligators, jaguars, mutineers, and a man-eating Maoris dog the steps of a shipping company owner, a scientist, and the two children of a lost sea Captain as they circle the Earth along the 37th parallel per instructions in a bottled note the scientist has recovered from a shark's stomach. Only certain facts are discerned from the stained note, especially the words "37 parallel". Teenage Mary Grant (Hayley Mills), her younger brother, Robert (Keith Hamshere), and the scientist, French Professor Jacques Paganel (Maurice Chevalier), trick their way aboard the grand yacht, "Persevero II", during a bon voyage party to see the owner of the shipping company, Lord Edward Glenarvan (Wilfrid Hyde-White), the epitome of British aloofness. With the urging of his own son, John (Michael Anderson, Jr.), Glenarvan's luxurious side-wheeler sets sail for the coastal town of Concepcion, Chile in the search for the missing Captain Grant (Jack Gwillim).

| User ReviewAdam RA wonderful Disney adventure film that pairs Maurice Chevalier with Hayley Mills. This was one of the movies that really hooked me on classic live-action Disney productions and inspired me to go through the list to watch them all. It has become a favorite of mine. Each moment is a treasure. Enjoy it! (First viewing - Spring 2009) |

| User ReviewSeann CAbsolute adventure gold. Hayley Mills was always magic for Disney, and this is no exception. The effects are horrid, but if you can get past that, you'll have a great time. |
| User ReviewJordan TMy World has become richer by your presence, your thoughts. If i was to loose you i would surely feel lost . For you gave me hope and so many joys. You made me smile as my world danced by . A beautiful reflection of you entered my mind . So thoughtful and caring you stayed by my side. Theres nowhere I could wish than you to be. Spending some time here just you and me . |
