I've seen this, and it's good, but it's a shame that people (especially kids) will read it without having read the original text. Kind of like watching the Lord of the Rings movies never having read the trilogy. I know that many, many people have done just that, but still...a shame.

Nothing will ever be as good as the Will Vinton Claymation version of this movie. Even WITH the bad 80s music.

Arboreality +1

Will Vinton also did that awesome Adventures With Mark Twain (too lazy to google the actual title).
