Filmed on the Caribbean island of Tobago, the motion picture's lavish
preproduction planning and on-location shooting (twenty-two weeks) resulted
in a budget that exceeded $4 million, but the extraordinary box office
returns, subsequent popular reissues in 1969, 1972, 1975, and 1981, and a
release on home video in 1982 have made it one of Disney's top-grossing
films. The creation of an intriguing treehouse, matching the one in the
movie, through which guests can climb in the Disney Theme Parks has increased
and perpetuated the popularity of the film. |
