the parent trap 1961
So I have been so obsessed with the original parent trap from 1961 for a while but something has been really bothering me and i don't know why. First off it's the fact that there isn't a lot of fan fictions about it which annoys me bc I love reading fanfics but the thing that bothers me the most about it. Well some people might think that i'm crazy but can anyone please tell me why no one has at least written 1 fan fiction about Charles and Louise McKendrick like come on. I love them so much, like it would be so interesting to read how they met or their love story or something like that. Please someone make it happen PLEASE!

The Parent Trap (1998, Nancy Meyers)
27/12/2023
The Parent Trap is a 1998 Disney film starring Dennis Quaid, Natasha Richardson, and Lindsay Lohan in her first film appearance.
It is a remake of The Parent Trap (1961) with Hayley Mills and, like the original, is based on the German novel Lisa and Lottie (Das Doppelte Lottchen, 1949) by Erich Kästner.
Hallie Parker is a 12-year-old girl who grew up in Napa Valley, California, with her father, Nick Parker, a wealthy vineyard owner. Annie James, on the other hand, lives in London with her mother Elizabeth James, known as Lizzie, an established wedding dress designer. The two girls are actually twins, separated at birth immediately after the divorce of their parents who decided to each take custody of one of their daughters. Neither of them knows of the other's existence until, by coincidence, 12 years after their birth, they find themselves attending the same summer camp in Maine, both being surprised by their extraordinary physical resemblance.
Their plan, however, seems to collapse when Annie, as Hallie, learns that her father is about to marry a young woman, Meredith Blake, who, however, seems only interested in the man's money and intends to send Hallie to a boarding school immediately after the wedding. The girls, after being discovered about the role swap, mange to get their parents to meet and have dinner on a yacht; the following day they go on a trip to the mountains, where, as planned, Lizzie, Nick, Hallie and Annie were supposed to go. Back home, Nick prepares a candlelit dinner for Lizzie in his villa, but later the two decide to return to their previous lives by dividing the twins, but Annie and Lizzie, arriving home, find a surprise: Hallie and Nick arrived before them thanks to a concord that takes half the time.
Filming for the film took place from July 15, 1997 to December 17, 1997.

Last week I watched “The Parent Trap” (1961) Family/Comedy
On par with the 1998 version, sweet, funny, a good time, very clever effects where it was almost impossible to tell the twins were played by the same person, even if you were told beforehand. I liked this version slightly less than the 1998 version, it’s just a lot of little things like the fight between the girls where they knock over food (eww) way the father talks to his daughter, the way the mom and dad immediately begin screaming at eachother, the honey feet bear prank, ex. But honestly it’s up to preference whether you prefer 90’s flavor or 60’s flavor.
Good watch 7/10
