The classic Mark Twain book The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is presented here as an animated video featuring the voices and music of country music stars Mark Wills, Lee Ann Womack, Rhett Akins, and Hank Williams Jr. Other famous voices include Betty White and Don Knotts. Twain's general plot is reproduced fairly faithfully: Tom falls in love with Becky, Tom and Huckleberry Finn witness a murder and later risk their lives to save the falsely accused Potter, and Tom and Huck eventually find Red Beard's buried treasure. Subtle elements have been changed for either political correctness or plot convenience: for instance, the name "Injun Joe" has been changed to "Injurin' Joe" and Becky has gained an antagonist father. A not so subtle change is the presentation of the characters as animals: Tom and Becky are cats, Huck is a fox, and Joe is a bear. The video is skillfully animated (much more so than the cover suggests) and the voice talent is excellent. Pop-country music lovers will love featured songs such as "You Can't Keep a Country Boy Down" and "There's a Light at the End of the Tunnel," although they seem more appropriate for adult audiences than the 5- to 12-year-olds this video is aimed at. All in all, this is an entertaining, accessible presentation of a classic story that kids will enjoy. --Tami Horiuchi

My four year old son absolutely LOVES this movie. He watches it over and over and was SOOOOO excited when he received it for his fourth birthday. It is a great little movie for kids.

Very cute movie, all of my children enjoy this movie and watch it over and over. They are 9, 6 and 3! So it is a good movie for the whole family.
Haven't Seen The Movie January 8, 2008
Rondall Banks (Toccoa, Georgia)
Even through i haven't seen the movie i did buy the soundtrack of the movie, i did enjoy the soundtrack my favorite song on the soundtrack is Friends For Live by Rhett Akinks & Mark Wills and Light At The End Of The Tunnel by Lee Ann Womack & Rhett Akins. I have always love Tom Sawyer and since it's in cartoon mode i know it will be good to watch.

Well, I've heard a lot of the people who are writing reviews say that it is "childish" and for "4-6 year olds". And I must say I have to disagree. I'm a 13 year old girl and throughly enjoyed it. If you're too "mature" for an animated movie, I suggest not watching it. To call an animated movie a bit childish is like calling a rock hard. It's common knowledge.
What I loved about this movie was the songs 'One Dream' and 'Light at the End of the Tunnel'. I enjoyed all of the other songs almost as much. And to further my point on the childish thing, you can't call a sheriff getting murdered childish. When I saw that I wondered if little kids should be watching it.
Anyway, I loved this movie and thought the characters were great. Becky looked lovely and I could see why Tom fell for her. I know it strays from the original story a lot. But it isn't supposed to be a flat-out copy of the book anyway.
AWESOME ANIMATED MOVIE! December 1, 2002

As a huge fan of American animation, I give this Disney-esque version of TOM SAWYER an "A." The backgrounds in the film are so beautiful & the characters are well drawn, too; reminded me "so" much of Disney's older films (Robin Hood, Fox & the Hound, Jungle Book, etc). The music is awesome; the songs are very well written and a pure joy to listen to! I still love cartoons & animation. And this version of TOM SAWYER is an awesome film that both children & adults can enjoy together.
