Rating: 3/4 --
I admired the performances, and Sommers' sense of time and place, and I hope the movie guides more people toward the book -- which contains values that sometimes seem as rare today as when Jim was first teaching them to Huck.

Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 2/5 --
Twain's text defies all efforts to translate onto film. Without Huck's subjective narrative, the subtler points fall flat, leaving a drained and empty children's movie in its place.

...A simple, spirited escapade.....[Wood has] the requisite verve for the story's central role...
New York Times
Rating: C+ --
Writer-director Stephen Sommers has made a conventional literal film, in which the acting of the two leads never rises above the mediocre, thus failing to endow the tale with the stirring mood that it deserves.
Variety
...A timely, literate and handsome film....Authentic and enjoyable, the Disney version is richly rewarding...
Variety
It's a delightful romp. The director and adaptor, Stephen Sommers, has filleted the book's key episodes and presents them at a whirling, compulsive pace.
