animals were definitely harmed in the making of this film
extremely annoying characters. i liked no one except for the oldest brother. they should have abandoned the youngest kid on the ship
the treehouse is sick and the tinkering/ engineering they did was cute
HATED bertie omfg. get her out of here. she tried to live out her 2 brother fantasy which i can respect but otherwise she’s pretty putrid and offered nothing
i did like their voices though #transatlantic
this movie has been remade like 7 times i hope the other ones are better
🎥 9.18.25 - 9.19.25

Nostalgic but not quite as good as I remembered it to be as a kid.
