"Just because an idea, like slavery, is popular doesn't make it right."Huckleberry Finn is a story that I could never read, so I was glad it was made into a movie.:)
Like so many classics, they're better rendered into the succinct style of visualization than as they were written. Mark Twain's classics, Tom Sawyer and it's companion Huckleberry Finn, were too much blood and gore for my taste when I was younger.
Huck Finn liked his freedom. So when his best friend, Jim, a slave, decided to run away, Huck wanted to help him. They had a grand adventure dealing with the frauds who peopled the West of those days and come out winners in a tough world. They hold values that often get them into trouble but affection and good luck gets them through most of it.
The picture is filmed with a great attention to authentic detail, unlike other Disney productions (Anastasia and Pocahontas come to mind for audacious manipulation of the truth). Well worth a watch.
