Classic children's adventure yarn based on the Arthur Ransome book. The story recounts the adventures of a group of children who call themselves the Swallows, after their boat, as they holiday in the Lake District during the 1920s. There they meet two piratical sisters, known as the Amazons, who have already claimed the waters for themselves. (StudioCanal UK)

Even though the new version of the adaptation is quite action-packed, this film has something Sawyer-esque, something nostalgically right about it that I just liked. Sure, the adults here are too kind, but it fits the story. The 1974 film was even more interesting to me than the more recent version, which is not bad either. ()
