Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Parent Trap is a 1961 Disney live-action comedy film, based on the 1949 German book Das doppelte Lottchen, that starred Hayley Mills. It yielded three sequels which are hard to fit into one continuity (and are pretty much forgotten about) and also a 1998 remake that starred Lindsay Lohan in her feature film debut.Twin sisters Sharon and Susan have been separated nearly at birth when their parents, Mitch and Maggie, divorced. The year their father is considering remarrying, the sisters meet each other at summer camp. On meeting, they plot to get their parents back together, a plot that involves each pretending to be the other. Hilarity Ensues.In the 1980s, Hayley Mills played Sharon and Susan as adults in three made-for-TV sequels. In The Parent Trap II, Sharon was the parent entrapped by her own daughter; in Parent Trap III, it was Susan's turn. Parent Trap: Hawaiian Honeymoon was a direct sequel to III featuring Susan and her new family (including identical triplet daughters).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

comment
Adaptational Villainy: In the original book, the father's fiancée is clearly an unsympathetic antagonist, but hardly a villain — she seemed to genuinely like the girls' father (even if attracted to his fame as well), wanted to have her own children with him and only planned to get rid of his daughter (by sending her to boarding school) after the latter came to her house to openly object to their marriage. The fiancée didn't actually get to do anything villainous. However, in the movie she's portrayed as a Child Hater and Gold Digger (in the original, she's in fact much richer than her would-be husband) who Would Hurt a Child.
