Tom Sawyer and his pal Huckleberry Finn make their way down the Mississippi river in this timeless children's classic which sees them embark on a series of adventures including making friends with the cheeky Becky Thatcher and avoiding Aunt Polly. But things turn serious when one of their friends could get into trouble if they don't tell the truth about what they have seen...

This 2000 animated adaptation of the famous Tom Sawyer story takes all your favourite characters and changes them into animals. This works pretty well and, as a children's tale, should be well received.

The opening scene threw me a little. It looked trippy and the animation was a little odd and I was starting to think that it was going to be a very poor production. Thankfully this scene is just a dream sequence with Tom imaging many different adventures.

It's bright, colourful and fun. It's also packed to bursting with songs - while I'm not a country song kinda gal, I have to admit that a lot of the music in this movie was pretty catchy.

In short, this is a pretty entertaining offering from MGM.
