Reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review
Huckleberry Finn's age has been scaled down in this 1993 Disney film in order to accommodate star Elijah Wood's young years at the time. But that is not the only concession Mark Twain's great American novel must make to Disney revisionism. Wood's Huck, as adapted for the screen by writer-director Stephen Sommers, is all rascal and only nominally a philosopher, which takes a lot of the soul out of Twain's extraordinary story about Huck's enlightenment while travelling with the slave Jim (Courtney B. Vance) along the Mississippi river. Big chunks of the journey are also minimised in significance, and not just for the sake of storytelling economy. Jason Robards Jr and Robbie Coltrane brighten things up, but overall this is an unnecessarily simplified version of a literary classic. --Tom Keogh

4.0 out of 5 stars Really cute!, 26 Jan 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Adventures Of Huck Finn (Disney) [VHS] [1994] (VHS Tape)
Wood is too cute to be convincing as the rascal he plays but he does a really good job in the film anyway.I haven't read the book but there are many twists in the story and when huck and jim meet up with a couple of frauds,one of which is played by robbie coltrane,things get really funny.
My favourite scene is one in which huck dresses up as a girl in order to 'borrow' some food.
Well worth a watch, I would definately recommend this film to anyone.
