Tom Sawyer brought me the same special feeling as All Dogs Go to Heaven did about 20 years ago! Perhaps the most notable scene is where Tom and Becky get lost in the cave followed by an excellent song. Before entering the cave, Tom says it's "too dangerous for girls," to which Becky replies "you've got a lot to learn about girls."
I first saw this movie on YouTube and just had to buy it. Beautiful animation and great songs makes this movie a sure MGM classic to enjoy!
I loved it. Even though some reviewers don't like it, I did.
It is not just for kids. I am 48 years old and I love it.
In some reviews it is mentioned that changing "Injun Joe"
to "Injurin Joe" was done to be politically correct. I think
you are wrong. It was probably done because he was a bear so
he couldn't possibly be called "Injun". He could have been called "Injurin Joe" or "Grizzly Joe" or "Grizzly Bear Joe". They just happen to go with "Injurin Joe". I'm guessing since he was a bear it's the closest they could come and stay
within the confines of the book.
Set in a more swampy version of Mississippi, Tom Sawyer is a feline lad that lives with his Aunt Polly and his brother Sidney who ususally snitches on all his shennanigans. Tom is best friends with the orphened Huckleberry Finn, but is suddenly more interested in school more with the cute new girl Becky Thatcher starts going to his class. This begins a slight rivalry between Becky and Tom's original girlfriend Amy, which gives the character alot more airtime in this version of the story than in the original book. Tom and Huck go out looking for a lost pirate treasure in a graveyard one night, to see the resident troublemaker, "Injurin'" Joe, a huge bear with long claws forcing the local yokel Mutt Potter to dig the treasure up. Joe murders a snoopy deputy, leaving Mutt to take the wrap, with Tom and Huck witnessing the whole thing, and getting lost escaping Joe. The two best friends get lost on an island, while everyone in town thinks that they are now dead, but not after crashing their own funeral. Tom and Huck fess up to stop Mutt from getting hanged, but Joe arrives to shut them up, leading to his supposed drowning in the river. Following a victory celebration, Tom and Becky explore the spooky Dead Man's Cave, where it turns out Joe has been living and hiding the treasure. The townsfolk manage to witness Tom outsmarting Joe for the final time, and Amy taking a new liking to Huck, resolving Tom's love triangle.
Upon first look, it appears that MGM was trying to bring back the success they had with Don Bluth's installments in their catalog like The Secret Of NIMH or All Dogs Go To Heaven. Despite that, the character designs have their own unique style to them seperating from looking too much like Looney Tunes. The cast is robust with regular voice over celebrities like Betty White and Don Knotts, plus regular country singers such as Rhett Akins and Mark Willis filling the parts of Tom and Huck. It's unusual for a film intended for children to contain mature subject matter like murder and capitol punishment, however it does represent them in a mostly believeable matter. Plus, kitty Becky Thatcher is sooooo cute!
