Family Friendly...Easy Gentle Story...

So it's not an accurate adaptation, 'Nuff said.

If you enjoy beautiful cinematography, art design, musical score and well written dialogue this foots the bill.

Gorgeous musical score combined with an original take on Mark Twains classic... this comes in as a second to Mickey Rooney's Huck.

The director is well versed and experienced in setting the tone for the film with excellent imagery the music compliments the story, never overpowers it, allowing the dialogue and acting to guide us along the Mississippi.

Gives us a taste of the old world with accurate dialects, subtle acting and cute little "ditties" of song which give us a feel of the importance of the rhythm of the world at that time.

The challenges of the period are front and center, presented in beauty and subtly.

Highly underrated classic.
