The Parent Trap

Summary: Buy this DVD and "watch" it with Hayley & Mr. Swift!!!
Review: This is, of course, one of the most popular Disney movies of all time, but also included here is the commentary version where you can watch this wonderful movie and enjoy it while listening to the commentary of it's darling star Hayley and the talented director, David Swift, who also brought us Pollyanna from Disney Studios. (you have a choice to turn the commentary on or off) This is the most fun for die-hard movie fans to not only watch the movie, but hear the inside scoop about the making of the picture and what it was like to work with the cast and crew at that time and arrive at the set, etc. So buy this DVD, pop some corn, sit back and spend a few hours with this marvelous cast spinning the old Disney magic. And it's worth it, just for the extras that the VHS did not have.

Summary: For once a good Disney version!
Review: Though Disney has a reputation for ruining movies, in this case, the only case, they made a winner out of this american version of "Das dobbelte Lottchen". It is of course widely different from the original as the settings have been completely transferred to the US, it is almost like watching a completely new movie. And Hayley Mills is doing a really good job at playing both twins.
I can highly recommend it, even to those of you familiar with the original German story. It has lost nothing in Disney's hands.

Summary: Disney comes through this time!
Review: This DVD is a sure sign that Disney has been listening to all of the complaints that there is not enough extra material on the DVD releases of their movies. The Parent Trap is way out there with really cool extra material. Not only do we get a great copy of the movie, there are SOOO many extras! Just trust me and get this one---it comes very close to the Platinum Edition of Snow White that was released last year. Enjoy!

Summary: One of the BEST DVD's! Disney does it again!!!
Review: Both the movie and the DVD get 5 stars plus!!! I've loved this movie since I was a kid, and was so happy about it's release on DVD. What I didn't expect was that it's one of the best DVD's I own. It's great to see the film on disc one in letterbox. Prior to the film is the Donald Duck short that was seen in theaters when the film was released! The extras on disc two are phenomenal! This is where the magic really happens. There are interviews with Hayley Mills, Director David Swift, Hayley's double Sharon (yes her name is Sharon like the character) and related pieces with The Sherman Brothers, Ward Kimball, Kevin Corcoran and others which make it a must for every Disney fan. Plus there is tons of footage, clips, photos, music, drawings and storyboards, and so many clips from the disney archives. All this, but there are also documentaries about the film itself, discussions about the split screen effects, and more. It's obvious that the folks at Disney took their time and did their homework. Congratulations to the producers listed at the end of this DVD on a job VERY well done! Hope to see more soon.

Summary: Disney Shines With Their Classics!
Review: Disney is finally becoming smart and are releasing their classics for the first time on DVD.
I was very impressed with the Parent Trap 2 cd set. The commentary between the director David Swift and star Hayley Mills was VERY interesting. Hayley talks about how difficult it was playing two parts as well as many other pieces of trivia and interesting facts about the movie. The sound is really good since it is THX certified, and the picture is crisp and clear. The behind the scenes documentary is a great plus along with the animated short that is included as well. There is alot more extras than are even listed on the back. There is a jukebox that plays songs from the movie, a documentary on the woman who played Hayley's twin, and much more!
You will want this movie for your collection, because it still has the charm of a Disney classic with a twist of modern technology with TONS of extras included. I was very satisfied with my purchase and I highly recommend that if you like this movie or have it on vhs, get the DVD while you can!

Summary: Twin DVD set for the twin Hayley Mills
Review: Kudos to Disney for reaching into thier non animated archives to put out great special editions.

Parent Trap was one of the Non-Animated films from Disney I've been waiting for (another is the first couple of Herbie:The Love Bug movies. The first "Love Bug" is confirmed for next year!).

Most of you reading already know the story and how much you like it.

Now, you can rest assured that that movie has gotten a great DVD treatment.

It comes in a new transfer in animorphic widescreen (for the first time on video, the credit sequence is not slightly squeezed like it used to be on pan and scan tapes and laserdiscs).

The color is as vivid as I would expect from a mid 60's technicolor film.

It also comes with a 5.1 remix. The mono soundtrack is not included but the 5.1 mix is quite appropriately understated and seems to use only the original sound elements (unlike JAWS and Superman's 5.1 remixes).

It also comes with a Donald Duck cartoon that will show before the start of the movie (or you can select it from the menu)just like they did in the theatrical release.

The extras include documentaries, commentary with the director David Swift and Hayley Mills, trailers and TV spots, radio spots, soundtrack deconstructions, an interview with Hayley Mill's photo double, still galleries and more.

This release is clearly made for the adult collector while still being all importantly kid friendly.

Summary: A great Hayley Mills find!
Review: This DVD set on the spectacular original Parent Trap was well worth the wait. It contains one disc with the movie and Hayley's commentary to it and another with quite a bit of extras including how the movie was made, the tricks and secrets and a musical video of "Let's get together". Contains recent interviews with some of the cast. I highly recommend this product.

Summary: Heartwarming and Fun
Review: All ages can enjoy this family film about identical twins (played by Hayley Mills) who try to reunite their parents. Hayley Mills shines in the dual role and the trick photography is great. O'Hara and Keith are both appealing as the divorced parents. The outdoor scenery is beautiful. The three stars make this Disney movie a classic you'll want to see again and again.

Summary: A true classic!
Review: The Origonal Parent trap is by far the best! Haley Mills outshines the second version of The Parent Trap.

Summary: One of the Best Hayley Mills Movies Ever!!!!!
Review: I love this movie soooooo much I've seen it so many times on vhs That I can't keep my eyes of the movie I'm going to rent it during the summer on dvd because Hayley Mills is one of my favorite actresses next to Lindsay Lohan star of the remake 1998 of the movie with Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson which was good but I find the 1961 version better because Hayley Mills is a great actress with great talent. please rent or buy this one once it's available on DVD this is one you don't want to miss!!!...
