WWTD 212 - Tom and Huck: Near-Sighted Joe

Weird to think that Disney went a little Mark Twain crazy in the 90s, isn't it? But they went whole-hog on film adaptations of quite a few of his novels, and this week on We Want The D we tackle TOM AND HUCK, their take on The Adventures of Tom Sawyer starring a couple Tiger Beat cover regulars. Yup, JayTayToe is back and he's brought tragic victim of how Hollywood treats child actors Brad Renfro with him for all sorts of 1840s era adventures. You know, classic old timey stuff like almost drowning, psychologically torturing your cousin, and witnessing a vicious graveyard murder that nearly results in an innocent man being lynched. But somehow between subject matter and the innate sadness of a movie featuring Brad Renfro and Charles Rocket, we still manage to have some fun with this one.
