Once the two finally get to talking they come to find numerous similarities in their lives including birth dates and broken families eventually realizing they are twin sisters and their parents divorced shortly after their birth, with each parent taking custody of one of them. Eventually their behavior gets them into trouble and they are punished with living together in an isolated cabin for the rest of camp. Their identical appearance initially creates rivalry between them which results in prank wars. In both films identical twins meet at summer camp, unaware of each other’s existence. It was other aspects of the movies like the special effects, humor and overall feel that made me favor the remake. Both Mills and Lohan were praised and adored for their performances as these two spunky and determined girls. The remake released in 1998, was directed by Nancy Meyers and starred Lindsay Lohan. The original Parent Trap, released in 1961, was directed by David Swift and starred Hayley Mills as the twins. I loved both versions, but the remake won me over.
This movie charmed audiences in 1961 and again with the remake in 1998. The Parent Trap is a classic children’s movie filled with humor, wit, and fun that all ages can enjoy. Disney movies are framed as family classics instantly, and both versions of The Parent Trap uphold that tradition with ease.
