Tom Sawyer (2000)


MGM
Directed by Paul Sabella and Phil Mendez
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, MGM)

Tom and Huck witness a murder by "Injurin' Joe", but vow to keep it a secret lest Joe track them down. A deputy is falsely arrested for the murder, but Tom and Huck prove him innocent. Later, the boys are assumed drowned in the river after escaping from Joe but show up at their own funeral. The eventual showdown with Joe occurs in a cave. The old familiar Mark Twain story is given a rudimentary treatment by MGM, who outsourced the animation to Taiwan and used country music stars for the voices and songs. The results are uneven at best.
