* SentencedToDownUnder: At the start of the film, the Robinsons are being sent to a penal colony in Australia due to David's refusal to pledge allegiance to UsefulNotes/GeorgeIII during UsefulNotes/TheNapoleonicWars, [[WitchHunt which could obviously only mean that he's a Bonapartist]]. Of course, the ship transporting them is overtaken by a storm, and the real story kicks off from there.

----
!!This film has the examples of:

* AdaptationalNationality: The family is now English instead of Swiss, which is probably why they didn't use the title ''The Swiss Family Robinson'' this time. Despite this, the two oldest boys still have the very un-English names of Fritz and Ernst. Granted, the name Robinson is equally un-Swiss and was never meant to be the family's actual last name, despite what many adaptations would have you think.
* BurialAtSea: Jacob performs one for Molly's dead baby.
* CanonForeigner: The native islander Namatiti is original to this version.
* DeathByMaterialism: [[spoiler:Blunt would have lived if he hadn't gone back for the gold.]]
* EvilMentor: After being separated from the rest of his family at the start of the film, Jacob is raised and mentored by the villainous pirate captain Thomas Blunt.
* FromDressToDressing: Lara tears off part of her petticoat to create a bandage for David.
* GenderFlip: In the novel, the family consists of four boys. For this version, Francis is made a girl, Sarah.
* InspiredBy: The film is "inspired by" ''The Swiss Family Robinson''.
* LostInImitation: Like [[Film/SwissFamilyRobinson the Disney version]], there are villainous pirates and a climactic battle against them. There are no pirates in the original novel.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: Unnamed in the original novel, the parents are here called David and Lara Robinson.
* StayInTheKitchen: Sarah complains that only the boys are ever sent off on missions, arguing that she could manage it as well.
* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: After stumbling upon the Robinsons at the end, the pirates impose on them, with the implied threat of killing them if they refuse.
* TragicKeepsake: During his years separated from the rest of the family, Jacob carries Sarah's doll with him.
