This movie shows how a friendship between Huck and a slave named Jim develops. This movie is funny but serious at the same time. My favorite character is Huck. He is very smart, and cute. He lives with Mrs. Watson and her sister, "The Widow Douglas". They both take care of him, but he doesn't like it. He experiences a lot of things when he runs away forn "The Widow Douglas." I really recomend this movie and also the book, because this is not a boring history that you may be reading or have read.

I think this movie makes you think of what it was like back then, because of slaves and the bad things that happend. This movie teaches you about the difference and shows you how the color of one's skin doesn't matter, you can still have a good frienship. I like the color movie better then the black and white, because I enjoyed the realism that color can offer.

I think you should watch the movie. It changed my life. As you start watching the movie you're going to see that two women own a slave caled Jim . There is a boy called Huck who likes to talk to Jim. The young boy likes to have adventures on the river. As you watch it you will realize that there is a lot of racism. As Jim and Huck have adventures on the river Huck doesn't treat Jim as a slave. Huck starts to get closer to Jim. In this movie they concentrate on the friendship between Jim and Huck. There is a lot of anger too, because the townspeople hate Jim and accuse him of murdering Huck. I liked this movie because it has a lot of funny parts. For example, it is hilarious when Jim dresses up like an African.

i think it was a cool movie to watch, and different than the older 1939 movie because in this Disney version of the movie, Jim was kind of a comedian, and in the older movie, Jim was acting more like a slave. The actions of Mary Jane at the end of the movie are also surprising. The movie is different from the book at the end, and the real Mary Jane wouln't have done that. I thought that Disney version was funny, because there one part when Jim dresses up. He looks funny and how he talks is also funny.
