A musical version of Mark Twain’s classic novel? Yes! It’s charming and delightful, especially Warren Oates’ “A Man’s Gotta Be What He’s Born To Be.” Relive childhood memories or introduce children to this timeless adaptation of one of America’s finest novels. Starring Johnny Whitaker as Tom Sawyer and Jodie Foster as Becky Thatcher, the girl Tom has a crush on. Famed songwriters the Sherman Brothers provide the music!
“Compared to the determined insipidness of most movie entertainment for children, Tom Sawyer is the best thing in its line since Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.” – Roger Ebert
