Amy Wright, Blake Heron, Brad Renfro

Being a good friend can be difficult, but the rewards are great. Two unruly boys, Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, pledge their friendship to one another in anticipation of days filled with fun and ...( read more  read more... )laughter. Instead, the two witness a graveyard murder and swear an oath of silence to protect their own lives. Treasure hunting and Tom's budding friendship with his classmate Becky pale when the boys' silence threatens to allow an innocent man to hang for the crime, and Tom must choose between keeping his pact with Huck and justice for his friend Muff Potter. This 1995 Disney presentation of Mark Twain's classic The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, featuring Jonathan Taylor Thomas as Tom and Brad Renfro as Huck, reaffirms the notion that "When a friend's in trouble, you can't just run away."

    Being a good friend can be difficult, but the rewards are great. And no ordinary adventure is gonna do.

    Directed by Peter Hewitt, Tom And Huck features very good acting performances from the following cast:
    1.) Jonathan Taylor Thomas (Tom Sawyer)
    2.) Brad Renfro (Huckleberry Finn)
    3.) Eric Schweig (Injun Joe)
    4.) Charles Rocket (Judge Thatcher)
    5.) Amy Wright (Aunt Polly)
    6.) Marian Seldes (Widow Douglas)
    7.) Rachel Leigh Cook (Becky Thatcher)

    As a very good film adaptation of the Mark Twain novel The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer, Tom And Huck keeps its adventure of our leading character and his friend as if the book reads itself. And yes, I did enjoy it; I saw the film a few times back in my mostly Disney film childhood. Having watched the Huck Finn film earlier, I knew the late Brad Renfro played this role well although I liked Elijah Wood's better; I thought the former wanted to take that as a mature character as Huck aged. But most importantly, I don't want to forget JTT since he finely played the Tom character as a former child star. Let this quote be a lesson for every friendship we always believe in: "When a friend's in trouble, you don't run away. And heck yeah, I knew Huck was right!
