Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A fun 1966 live-action Disney comedy directed by Byron Paul and starring Dick Van Dyke. As the title suggests, it's a Robinson Crusoe story, and as the star suggests, it's purely done for the comedy.Robin Crusoe (Van Dyke) is a U.S. Navy pilot whose fighter jet fails during a routine mission, forcing him to ditch somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. He braves the perils of survival in a life raft — accompanied by an oddly comprehensive instruction manual — before being washed up on a tropical island. There he meets his Man Friday in Floyd the Space Chimp, and his Girl Friday, whom he names Wednesday (Nancy Kwan).

All There in the Manual/Great Big Book of Everything: The U.S. Navy Survival Manual, titled "Survival at Sea and Like It". While it really does address everything he encounters, it gets pretty bossy, and Crusoe eventually gets fed up with it and tosses it in the ocean.

comment
Actor Allusion: Crusoe refers to himself as "Rob". And when he reads the Navy Survival Manual, the officious-sounding narration is provided by Richard Deacon (aka Mel Cooley). Just before bolting from being married to Wednesday, Crusoe sings part of the lyrics to "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious", a song from another Disney film Dick Van Dyke he was in.

Accidental Marriage: During the victory celebration near the end, Wednesday gets Crusoe to dance with her. Cue her father saying, "Hey, wise guy do pretty good marriage dance!" During the ensuing argument (Robin is engaged, after all) he accidentally pushes Wednesday down, which she does not take well! Cue the chase and rescue sequence.
