Jack Carlysle is an only child in a single family home with a mom who is working all the time.
He wants to run away from home until his nanny gives him a book of adventure.
As Jack sleeps he is awakened by the sound of pirates and is sucked into the book and goes on a fun hilarious adventure.

I dont know why they put crummy movies on DVD but not good ones like these.
If you can get a used vhs copy it would be well worth it.
Your kids will love this movie.
I still enjoy it at 42.

This a great kids movie which stars one of today's up and coming stars! I recommend you see it!

We rented this for my five-year old and he loved every minute- we watched it three times in three days It is funny and action-packed without being overly violent. The premise of the story is cool and anything with Blackbeard is a hit for young pirate lovers! It was a sleeper for us since we had never heard of it. Too bad it's out of stock!

all the movies or books that zachery is in are so cool because zachery ty bryan is cool END

I loved the movie! I remembered it awhile back from when i was a kid and really wanted to watch it. Come to find out that it's only on vhs. Luckily I found it on amazon! The seller was great! Affordable price, quick delivery, the product was in perfect condition. No vhs issues or anything. *****

Magic Island is a wonderfull movie. It is funny, entertaining, imaginative, and captivating. It gives a child, or adult, for that matter, a chance to escape today's hurried, and sometimes depressing reality, and let their imagination soar. My family has enjoyed this film for years, and, still do enjoy it today. The quality of the film itself was good, and shipping was very prompt. Thanks for the help in making this find and purchase possible.

I can't BELIEVE this hasn't been put out on DVD yet!! What's up Paramount? It will be well worth it! If you haven't seen this yet, pick up a copy if you can!! The price is so high because so many people love this film and there's a great lack of copies.. Well worth it if you can get it, you're kids will love it!

me and my bestest fwriend both watched this movie in seperate places at the same time without knowing!! how strange is that???? hehe. My bestest bit is when the sand shark was laughin -it reali tickled me! my bestest fwriends bestest bit was when the blanky was made from gold and rubeys and emeralds and diamonds!!! i think we all shud make magic. i love MAGIC ISLAND YEAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!! lots of magic kisses ffrom the dimple twins aged 5 and a half, and 5 and 3 thirds

...and corny, and anachronistic, and rife with hammy acting. And the mermaid's tail wasn't very believable, and the sand shark patently stunk.

But at least the acting was *deliberately* hammy...at least on the part of the three or four actors that I recognized by sight. (I *know* that all of 'em have enough talent to not make fools of themselves by *accident.*) And it's a great improvement over other Paramount kiddie fare (the "Josh Kirby: Time Warrior" flicks come to mind).

Watch this movie from a kid's perspective, and you'll enjoy it. Trust me on this.

This movie is so poorly made that it's actually funny, but only if you watch it with children. The acting is bad and the costumes look like Halloween costumes. My kids asked me a little while ago what a "B" movie is, and finally I could show them an example: This movie!
