Here's where you can watch it now.The Parent Trap is a 1998 American romantic comedy film directed and co-written by Nancy Meyers, and produced and co-written by Charles Shyer. The second movie, in particular, was a huge hit for the Disney Channel and is still considered a childhood classic by many '70s and '80s kids to this day.
As a result, it spurred a trilogy of television sequels in the '80s, focusing on the grown-up Susan Evers and Sharon McKendrick (still played by Mills) and their own families. Much like the 1998 version, the original "Parent Trap" was a hit in theaters and an even bigger hit on TV broadcasts. But the remake was incredibly faithful in other respects, right down to the central part taking place during a camping trip in which the girls terrorize their father's golddigger bride. Some of the details were different: The mother and father of Sharon and Susan, played by Brian Keith and Maureen O'Hara, were both American, for one.
The original 1961 version, adapted and directed by David Swift from the German children's book "Lottie and Lisa" by Erich Kästner, starred Hayley Mills in the dual leading role, and had the same general premise of two identical girls meeting at a summer camp, discovering they were twins, and setting out to bring their long-divorced parents back together.
