Problem is, he's also starting to see Jim as a real person rather than, well, someone's property. He knows that, legally, he should turn in the runaway slave Jim.

This encounter throws Huckleberry into an ethical quandary (that's a fancy way of saying 'dilemma'). But this runaway isn't just escaping a mean dad he's escaping an entire system of racially based oppression. Huck runs away, and immediately encounters another runaway. Huckleberry Finn is a poor kid whose dad is an abusive drunk. Only this time, the adventures aren't so much 'wacky' as life- and liberty-threatening. Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was a follow-up to Tom Sawyer, and it dumps us right back in the Southern antebellum (that's 'pre-war') world of Tom and his wacky adventures. in 1885-and a book that's been on required high school reading lists for almost as long. You get a book that's been banned in classrooms and libraries around the country since just about the moment it was published in the U.S. But overall this is a fantastically animated Stop-motion film and a very well acted one at that, that is well worth seeing.What do you get when you cross America's greatest humor writer with a runaway slave, a homeless street kid, and a lot of really offensive language?

Though there is one scene in this movie that just leaves me scratching my head on why it is even in the film, because it seems to have no purpose, its the scene where the kids go into a room that says the Mysterious Stranger, and a man with no head that talks through a shape shifting mask says he is the devil, and he does some very disturbing things when they talk to him. Also the acting is not too bad either, Charles Whitmore gives probably his best performance ever as Mark Twain in this film, the way he narrates the stories he tells to the kids, and how heacts in the film, give tribute to how good at acting he is. Stop-motion is one of my favorite forms of film, and this stop-motion is no exception, in fact, for a very low budget film, the stop-motion is some of the best I've seen before. Its a shame that almost nobody knows about this film nowadays, just because of how poorly it did with the critics at the time and it did poorly at the box office, but I say this movie deserves more recognition in the film world.

An underrated gem in the Stop-Motion world.
