Mark Twain's classic novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is re-created here as an animated adventure movie. Featuring a country music soundtrack with songs by Hank Williams Jr., Waylon Jennings and Lee Ann Womack, the video is also accented with famous voices, like those of Don Knotts and Betty White. The characters have all been resurrected as animals; Tom and Becky are cats, Huck is a fox, and Injun Joe (more sensitively corrected to be "Injurin' Joe" in this production) is a bear. The animation is excellent, though the plot itself is a looser interpretation of Twain's story. Children aged five to 12 should enjoy the story and lively animation while getting a basic introduction to a classic piece of literature.

A mix of classic and Anthropomorphic animals!

I love the voices, the character designs, and the music (between romance and drama). When I was in Costa Rica, I rented that movie, and really enjoyed it.
What's great about it: It has animals I really like! One Fox and two cats. <3
What's not so great: The backordering is taking so long.
Celebrate Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas with Jim Davis' feline creation, Garfield, with this DVD that contains three television specials featuring the fat cat. Each is presented in the original broadcast aspect ratio of 1.33:1. English and Spanish soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Mono. Subtitles are accessible in both of these languages as well. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence.
