Description:
Robert Louis Stevenson's exciting saga of a young man's quest for his rightful inheritance bursts upon the screen in this faithful Disney adaptation. Award-winning actor Peter Finch stars as the daring rebel, Alan Breck, who joins forces with young David Balfour (James MacArthur) to do battle with scurvy sea dogs and ruthless Redcoats. A strong supporting cast features the memorable screen debut of Peter O'Toole. Filmed in the majestic Scottish Highlands, Disney's KIDNAPPED, with its swordplay, storms at sea, and heroic bravery, is a classic adventure of epic proportions!
Amazon.com:
Sold into shipboard slavery by his wicked uncle, the newly orphaned David Balfour turns his misfortune into adventure in this Disney adaptation of the classic Robert Louis Stevenson novel. Before he can get back to the Scottish Lowlands to claim his birthright, the young man experiences mutiny, shipwreck, clan wars, trickery, illness, and bagpipe playing. Most of this is at the side of the high-spirited Highlander Alan Breck. The Stewart clan leader crashes into his prison ship, jumps aboard, and commandeers both the ship and the boy's life, tutoring him in the ways of subterfuge, battle, and loyalty. Despite the relatively heavy subject matter, the tone is light and the action swift. Add the gorgeous--and genuine--Celtic scenery, and it makes for a quickly passed 95 minutes. Although this 1960 film has no graphic violence, a boy is killed aboard ship and other more anonymous characters die, making this tale more appropriate for gradeschoolers and up. --Kimberly Heinrichs

This is a great, great film. One of Disney's finest live action films. It ranks right up there with The Swiss Family Robinson and Treasure Island. So Disney, where is the DVD? I am not talking about the Full-Screen DVD thrown out for members of the Disney fan club, I am talking about a beautiful widescreen transfer with James MacArthur commentary. I think a movie which is one of Peter O'Toole's first (pre-nosejob) performances, and one of Finch's finest should be available for me to buy on DVD.

I have nothing to add by qualitative review beside reinforcement of the opinion of it as being a rare masterpiece within the Disney field.
Here you are selling VHS copies for as low as $0.59 per copy while the British are selling their DVDs at 5 pounds, or the like. My question is: who's the idiot, or should I say, "developmentally diabled executive" at Disney who can't figure out how to market this classic to all the high-spirited people of Scot Ancestry in America. You know, the ones ... Read More

It was my utter disappointment with the 2005 British production of Kidnapped, as shown on PBS's Masterpiece Theater, that caused me to see for the 2nd time this more faithful 1960 Disney production. Whoever directed the 2005 film completely changed the plot from that found in the original. Not only were scenes not found in the book included in the film, but the names of the two main character's Alan Breck Stewart and David Balfour
were shortened and changed to simply Alan Breck and Davie Balfour. ... Read More

I agree with the other (more eloquent) reviewers awarding high marks to this film. I own nearly 800 classic movies. My family watches one or two every night. This does not make us experts, but it does make our house short on storage space.
Kidnapped is one of those rare, incredible masterpieces, so absorbing, alluring, and timeless that I have watched it dozens of times. There are only a handful of movies ever produced I can say that about. Most are the older Disney films produced before ... Read More
