The 1949 German fictional children's picture book by Erich Kästner originally published as Das Doppelte Lottchen (The Double Lottie), was originally written during WWII as the plot for a movie. The franchise will continue, with a streaming exclusive reboot in development to be released on Disney+. The 1998 film, received critical acclaim and was a hit for the studio financially. Starting in 1986 three television sequels were produced and released as a part of The Magical World of Disney series. The original 1961 film received positive critical response, and was deemed a success.
The pair trade places upon returning home, and devise a plan to bring their family back together. Based on the 1949 novel Lisa and Lottie (published in the United Kingdom and Australia since 2014 as The Parent Trap) by Erich Kästner, the plot centers around identical twin sisters, who were separated at birth and rediscover each other while attending summer camp. Although some purists don't like the new remake of Parent Trap, I thought the remake kept the essence of the original story and updated it to match todays global travel, destigmatization of divorce, etc.The Parent Trap franchise consists of American family- comedies, including the original theatrical film, three made-for-television sequel movies, and a theatrical legacy sequel/ soft-remake. Although most kids will still enjoy the original movie's favorite kid moments of the punchbowl splashing into a chaperon, the timeless cake falling on Miss Inch's face, and Vicky's hissy fit, the movie's long pace might bore todays kids. The camp cabin sabotage, the twins joining forces to prank dad's girlfriend. Dorky animated cupids aside, as a kid I loved the movie's cross country saga. In the 1980s I finally got to see the whole film uncut on the Disney cable channel and finally got to figure out "the little dolls signing the parent trap song" my sister spoke of (there was 15 minutes I'd never get back). My older sister had seen Parent Trap in the theater and knew all of the parts that 1970s TV had edited out. I bought the book at the school book fair and reread it a dozen times. I first saw this movie on Sunday night TV Wonderful World of Disney in 1979 and was hooked.
