In this 1993 version by Walt Disney Pictures of Mark Twain's classic boyhood story, Elijah Wood takes on the role of the story's hero, the mischievious and adventurous Huck Finn and in the end, his performance meets with so so results. Most of the film's best scenes come from Courtney B. Vance as Jim, Huck's runaway slave friend. Why couldn't the film have been more about him instead? Still, it's a good attempt even though Wood's performance in the title role is mostly wooden. Two years later, Walt Disney Pictures filmed the story again (with different actors) as "Tom And Huck" but that film featured a miscast Brad Renfro as Huck. See this Elijah Wood version instead.
