Trivia:
Tom Sawyer has just one shot in this version of the film where he yells "Go for the glory!", even though he is a major character in Mark Twain's book. The actor who says "Go for the glory, Huck!" at 03:43 on the DVD is Danny Tamberelli who is listed in the end credits as playing "Ben Rodgers". At 03:45, another boy says "Ya, go for the glory", but Tom Sawyer, who has a large roll in the ending of the book that is not in the film, does not appear in the end credits. moreGoofs:
Continuity: When Pap Finn is carrying Huck over his shoulder, down the stairs, we see (at 12:05) looking down from the second floor that the stair landing has a 2-candle sconce on its right wall and its left wall. At 12:11 looking up from the first floor there is no sconce on the right wall of the landing. moreSoundtrack:

Disney's 1993 adaptation of Mark Twain's "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is a fun-spirited adventure. Elijah Wood stars as the title character, and his charm and charisma serves the film well, as it did the other good films of his youth ("North", "Radio Flyer" and others). Courtney Vance does a fine job as Huck's friend Jim, the runaway slave.
Stephen Sommers ("The Mummy", "The Mummy Returns") wrote the screenplay and directed this version, and he does a good job at capturing the spirit of the South. The cinematography is first-rate, too, as it is in "Tom and Huck." It's slightly too long (as is Twain's novel), and as a result loses a bit of steam in the final act, but there is enough power and charm to keep you engaged and caring for these colorful characters.
Two years later, Disney would adapt Twain's "Adventures of Tom Sawyer" in "Tom and Huck" and that was an all-around classy production. Many of Tom and Huck's good qualities are present here in this movie, including powerful performances, wonderful photography and music, and plenty of spirit and charm.
