About The Parent Trap
Disney's The Parent Trap (1961) stars Hayley Mills in dual roles as twins reuniting their divorced parents, and it grew three TV sequels in 1986 and 1989.
Nancy Meyers remade it in 1998 with Lindsay Lohan, and that version stands apart from the original continuity.
Good to know
A Disney Plus reboot was floated in 2018 but has shown no movement since, so it is not listed.
Watch the 1961 continuity in release order and treat the 1998 film as its own thing.
