One ...A perennial favorite, until Tarzan moved in.<br /><br />One of the best live-action Disney films, noted for James MacArthur who went to "book 'em" as the original Dano in Hawaii Five-O.<br /><br />The waterwheel was a never-ending source of fascination. My Dad and Uncle stood for what seemed like hours watching this apparatus, which I don't even recall in the movie. Just a great example of a 3-D imagineering environmental art piece.<br /><br />The revised version has all the juice taken out and just makes me sad. I still go up every time, because enough remains to spur a memory of Mom and Dad and Uncle here.<br /><br />thank you Dave.<br /><br />JGJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456196709930408585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-67361014619682562032012-03-18T09:18:22.325-07:002012-03-18T09:18:22.325-07:00I'm sure most of your readership is in the &qu...I'm sure most of your readership is in the "I like the way it used to be" camp, and I am no exception! The Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse was so much fun. It used to be on the "must do" list every time we went to the park. Since it underwent the change, I know that I have only been up once just to see what they had done. I just don't think the animated "Tarzan" has the lasting power of Dorothy McGuire, John Mills, Janet Munro, Tommy Kirk, et al. The actual, living tree that inspired the Imagineers still stands in an historic section of Anaheim (Kevin & Jody will have to show it to you if you have not already seen it)! Thanks for all of the great pictures! Connie, you MUST watch the movie - it is one of the all-time best, live-action, Disney movies!!!Mr. Tinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16646297018044505890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-87272228541548549972012-03-18T08:46:46.898-07:002012-03-18T08:46:46.898-07:00I have to say, as much as I enjoyed the Tarzan mov...I have to say, as much as I enjoyed the Tarzan movie, they never should have changed the tree house. I know they wanted to make it relevant to today's audience but they didn't have to...it was way cool the way it was. Guess what? I've never seen the Swiss Family Robinson movie - but I still loved the tree house!Connie Morenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14112860706520621190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-84164812559980371662012-03-18T06:51:02.597-07:002012-03-18T06:51:02.597-07:00Man do I remember those views.

Yes, I always thought how wonderful life would be living in this astonishing tree house.Thuferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07692445357659425688noreply@blogger.com
