    Storyline

    • Trivia
      In the novel, it's Jim who gets painted blue by the Duke and King (Dauphin) as part of a charade they are trying to pull off. In the 1986 feature, it's Huckleberry who gets painted blue for an entirely different reason.
    • Alternate versions
      The 105-minutes movie was edited from a longer 240-minute version originally made as an episode of US public station PBS's "American Playhouse" series. A 105 minute videocassette version is cited in older reviews, like Hal Erickson's review in the Rovi 'All Movie Guide' and Leonard Maltin's review, but its distributer and/or release date can no longer be found on the Internet.

    This film will delight both childern and adults alike !!
    This film will delight both childern and adults alike !! It's based on the classic novel by Mark Twain and has a all-star cast. Huck, a rambunctious boy adventurer chafing under the bonds of civilization, escapes his humdrum world and his selfish, plotting father by sailing a raft down the Mississippi River. Accompanying him are his friends Tom Sawyer and Jim, a slave running away from being sold. Together they strike a bond of friendship that takes them through adventures. It's really good.
