The Parent Trap II

The Parent Trap II is a 1986 American made-for-television comedy film and a sequel to Disney's 1961 film The Parent Trap (which was based on the book Lottie and Lisa by Erich Kästner) and the second installment in The Parent Trap series. It premiered on Disney Channel on July 26, 1986 as a part of the channel's "Premiere Films" presentation (a precursor to the Disney Channel Original Movies banner). Hayley Mills is the only actress that returned from the original film. She continues to portray Susan and Sharon, the twins who were separated at age one, met up twelve years later at summer camp, switched places and went on to reunite their divorced parents. The film focuses on Sharon's daughter, Nikki, who tries to hook her mother up with her best friend Mary's father, portrayed by Tom Skerritt. It was a success for the Disney Channel and it later spawned two more made-for-television sequels, both produced in 1989.
