Product Description

Looking for a way to make the American Revolution come alive for your child? Based on Esther Forbes's book of the same name, Johnny Tremain takes place in Boston from July 1773 through April 1775, and tells the story of a young apprentice silversmith drawn into a fight for human rights. When an accident cripples Johnny Tremain's hand and ends his hopes of becoming a great silversmith, Tremain finds himself without work and accused of a crime he did not commit. Sons of Liberty members Paul Revere and Josiah Quincy are outraged by the circumstantial case against Tremain, agree to represent him free of charge, and win his acquittal in court. Through association with his new friends, Tremain begins to better understand the current political climate, and eventually joins them in the battle for freedom. Tremain's involvement in the emptying of British tea into Boston Harbor, the arrival of the Redcoats in Boston, and the beginnings of the American Revolution at Concord is powerful and moving. The costuming is splendid, the music patriotic, and the dialogue well crafted. The film stars Hal Stalmaster as Johnny Tremain, costars Luana Patten and Jeff York, and runs 80 minutes. This classic Disney film is wonderful entertainment and a fairly faithful representation of a crucial period in American history. (Ages 8 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

Patricia Brown (Texas)
I purchased this DVD to accompany the book about Johnny Tremain as a gift to my 10-year-old nephew. He has watched it countless times and now has his brother interested. This was a great item that was shipped promptly. Thanks to the seller.
Disney Version of History of Revolution January 30, 2010
W. Ellis (Florida)
Disney takes license with history as we have been taught in school. Even if it isn't true, Johnny Tremain could have been any of a number of people who did their part for the revolution. This is a story that will hold your attention and that of your children and and excellent opportunity for you to teach how young people can be an important part of history. This is an EXCELLENT evening of family time and discussion. At one time it was shown in our school system history classes.
thanks so much January 9, 2010
