Goofs
On the night of April 18th, 1775, Paul Revere is shown rowing solo across the Charles River. In fact Paul Revere had two associates rowing with him. However give kudos to the writers for showing him meeting Deacon John Larkin who actually owned the horse that Revere rode. Revere did not own a horse at the time. And since the British captured Revere in Lexington and took the horse, Deacon Larkin never saw his horse again.

why do people not want their children to watch Disney movies?

I have a parent that is not allowing their child to watch Johnny Tremain. I don't understand why. I have noted that in some cases where language was a problem, I can understand that. This is based on an authors book about the American Revolution. Why would anyone want to keep their child from watching it? It is a clear depiction of the book and gives a good representation of the historical events. It also shows the dress and the attitudes of the time rather well too.

Is there something that was done that make it a bad movie, the language or what? Do others object to Disney movies as well especially the early ones?
