Mike P Really bad version of the classic adventure story..Featuring bad acting, poor production values and slipshod direction...And totally anachronistic haircuts!!..It's like ABC's TGIF version of the story, produced solely for 13 year old girls...With second rate TV directors, and slapped together by Disney in a week just to make some quick money off the popular Jonathon Taylor Thomas...It's crap...Try the classic 1973 "Tom Sawyer" with Jodie Foster; which has excellent production values and acting; and it stays faithful to the original story. That's WAY better! 👎 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Jason M D I remember this movie man it was good always loved watching it still looks great on vhs Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/19/24 Full Review Emily P I can’t remember how old I was when I saw this movie for the first time 10 possibly 11 I want to say I loved it as a kid because it was the first story that was covered in a very short lived tv show I loved growing up Wishbone I watch it on Disney+ because I love strolling down memory lane and I loved how they did cast each person for the characters in the movie. Eric Schweig’s performance as Injun Joe to me is more frightening to me as adult verses being a kid when you have someone very talented playing a crazy killer it helps if they know how to go to that place and find that energy to play someone insane. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/24 Full Review Michael W This Disney movie was great. Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Brad Renfro, Eric Schweig, Mike McShane, Rachel Leigh Cook, Amy Wright, and the rest of the cast did a great job in this movie. This story based on the Mark Twain novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer was entertaining and dramatic. It's about doing what's right to help someone even if it could cost you your life. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out sometime. It's worth watching. Don't listen to the bad reviews this movie has gotten. Those people have terrible tastes in movies. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/24/24 Full Review azura r This is one of my favorite movies. Lot's of humor, I liked the characters, the villian scared the heck out of me as a kid, it has a heartwarming end. I really love this movie, surprised it has a low score. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/24 Full Review Rosana B Nunca gostei tanto da história, na verdade, por mim era desconhecida até pouco tempo (conhecia parcamente de Lost), entretanto após minha ida a Disney fiquei completamente apaixonada na Ilha de Tom Sawyer, a mini Ilha de lá é simplesmente perfeita, um lugarzinho que dá vontade de morar, então passei a apreciar a obra em si, o filme é bem fiel ao livro pelo que pude pesquisar o que me encantou enormemente...
