DVD Synopsis

This Disney family adventure, directed by Robert Stevenson in his Jules Verne mode, concern a group of explorers who travel to the Arctic Circle in 1908 to explore the uncharted wastes of the North Pole. Sir Anthony Ross (Donald Sinden), a rich Londoner, organizes an Arctic exploration team in hopes of locating his missing son. Providing expert advice is Prof. John Ivarson (David Hartman), a professor of Nordic history. As the group explores the frozen tundra, they come across an unknown valley, skirting the borders of a giant volcano, that turns out to be a lost Viking kingdom. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review of DVD

Robert Stevenson's adventure film Island at the Top of the World comes to DVD with a pair of transfers. The widescreen transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.66:1, and is preferable to the standard full-frame image. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo. There are neither subtitles nor closed-captions on this release. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence. This is a decent release from Anchor Bay. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
