The Island at the Top of the World (1974)

Director: Robert Stevenson

Average user rating

Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Despite the promise of its Jules Verne-ish title, a thoroughly pedestrian effort that doesn't even merit comparison with such earlier Disney adventures as 20000 Leagues Under the Sea. Unimaginative plot, interminable dialogue in 'Old Norse', some pointless love interest, and a particularly repulsive poodle.
