"Have you ever wondered what became of those "seven stranded castaways?" Well, KIDS' FAVORITE ADVENTURE MOVIES supplies the answer, with the story of Gilligan and his friends, some 15 years after they all were shipwrecked on that tropic isle. Also in this 10 movie package are traditional children's characters created by Robert Louis Stevenson, Rudyard Kipling, Lewis Carroll and Johanna Spyri. There's a couple of western/comedies included, too. KIDS' FAVORITE ADVENTURE MOVIES is a fine mix of family-oriented fare at one great low price.
