This was a very entertaining film with lots of adventure but the lead kid, played by young Elijah Woods, got on my nerves. The sneer on his face is very annoying, although, to be fair, he could have been worse. In Mark Twain's famous book, Huck is worse than he's shown here. Sorry, but I just didn't like him. At least he cashed in on his srange looks a decade later with LOTR.
Speaking of the book, Disney gets in its typical anti-Christian cheap shot by having Jason Robards dress up as a fake minister, even though that was NOT part of the book.
Racism is a key part of this story, too, and Courtney B. Vance is very likable as the slave. He's just one part, however, of a number of characters and adventures in here. The movie is nicely filmed, too; very colorful.
It was good for one viewing, but that was it for me.
