I purchased this movie because I grew up watching it and it brings back childhood memories. It is based on the book by the same title, and is another of Disney's well-done films. The story follows the life of one young man, Johnny, who is apprenticed to a silver smith, and after delivering an order to a patron, is framed for theft by that patron. In the middle of this he is introduced to (and joins) many of the people active in fighting against the tea tax, and fighting for fair representation of the colonies within the British government. As history tells, this of course lead to the beginning of the American Revolution, starting at Lexington. All of this we get to "experience" through Johnny's eyes in typical clean Disney fashion. The book is worth reading, and in fact I would recommend reading it and watching the movie in close proximity. The movie is enjoyable, clean for children, and quite nostalgic for those of us who grew up watching these classic Disney films.Read full review
The Disney movie about a "minor" figure in the Revolutionary War of the United States was a good history lesson. The characters were portrait as human beings with dignity, honor and thoughtfulness about what their part is during the beginning of the fight,which lead to our independence from England. What I liked about the main character Johnny Lyte Tremain was his courage to do right in the face of adversity. He always tried to do his best and was humble enough to learn from any one. He didn't let vanity or pride stop him from learning. I feel the Disney production company did a good job at this. Also, I must give them kudos for the history lesson. The respect for the Sabbath during the colonial days. The research of the other characters on both sides of the conflict was very believable. Now, I want to do some personal research of my own. Overall, I found the movie very entertaining and would give it five stars out of five. It gets you to think about the decisions people had to make and live by during those early days of the Revolutionary War. The great leadership of James Otis and the others of the "Committee" who have the awesome responsibilty of leading the colonies during those early days. I even felt sorry for General Gage and the British soldiers who had to follow orders of a tyrant and his ego. The best part of this DVD was the Bonus portion. Thank you for including the remarks of Mr. Walt Disney, he added so much and reminded us that the fight for independence is still an ongoing occurance somewhere in the world.Read full review
As a young man growing up in the 50's and 60's and watching Walt Disney on Television each week (and liking anything to do with history), "Johnny Tremain" was just one of those movies I had to have for my Revolutionary War Collection of Tapes and DVDs. I believe this movie is not only an excellent one for just any collector, but would be a simple and basic introduction to any school age child who is just starting to learn the history of the American Revolution and the formation of this great nation. Although there are some battle scenes towards the end of the movie, I believe they do not contain such graphic scenes and details as some of the more modern movies of recent years dealing with the violence of the American Revolutionary War. You get to learn a bit about real-life men such as John Adams, Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, and others of this period. Also, you get to learn of such famous groups and events such as The Sons of Liberty, The Boston Tea Party, Paul Revere's Ride, and the Battles of Lexington and Concord and the famous "Shot heard around the world." I would highly recommend the purchase of this movie for the reasons stated above.Read full review
This is an excellent movie that tells the story of the events leading up to the American Revolution. The story shows the salient parts of that part of American history, ie. Boston Tea Party, Sons of Liberty, Paul Revere's ride, British in the colonies, etc. The scenes show how life was in the 1770-1780's. 10 year olds saw their social studies lessons come alive. This was a great teaching supplement to the readings in the California 5th grade Reading and Social Studies' texts.
This is one of my all time favorite Disney movies that tells the story of the Boston Tea Party and the start of the Revolutionary War in an engaging way. The Disney quality remains intact with this DVD version.
