This film was a typical Disney butchery of an immortal piece of literature. This film manages to rip apart Twain's masterpiece and paste it back together in a totally unflattering form. Several key issues are overlooked, and Huckleberry is presented in a way that is totally arbitrary to the way that Twain presented him. Disney has taken a work that was never intended for children, and watered it down to a sappy melodrama. The result is, a movie that is serviceable for children, but has absolutely no appeal to an educated adult. For one who has never read the novel, I would imagine that this film would be tolerable. I would recommend, however, that one read the book beforehand.
