Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A nice effort for its times, but a bit dated...
Johnny Tremain was a tiny Disney movie on early American History (or was it myth?). Yet it captured the minds and hearts of kids and adults of the time and helped spread some historic culture throughout the land.
Having said that, the modern perspective of things has changed all this and by today's standards it is at best a nice little adventure movie, but nothing more.
Many inaccuracies and liberties with historic fact have made it into what it is: a nice escapist movie. ... Read More
Rating:  - Back to my childhood!
Johnny Tremain, originally came out when I was 10 years old and I hadn't seen it since then!It was fun to go back and see it at age 61!They don't make many pictures like this, great family entertainment!But you always expect that from Walt Disney!
Rating: - A not to miss Disney classic
I have loved this movie since I was a kid. I used to watch it on Disney channel every 4th of July. They always played it for America's birthday. I am sad my kids cannot watch it on Disney channel anymore, but they can watch it whenever they want now. Great story line.
Rating:  - Johnny Tremain revisited
I saw this movie when it first came out. I was fourteen years old and I thought Hal Stalmaster was really cool.

However, I would love to know what happened to him. I've googled him every which way and ... Read More
Rating: - Fun historical movie.
I like old "hokey" Disney movies. This one fits that dynamic in some senses of the word, but it also provides a historical aspect that is very refreshing. I think a lot of times movies feel obligated to include as much obscenity and violence as possible in the name of authenticity. This movie has nothing of that.
If you are a patriotic American at all, I think you will like this film. It includes the "one if by land, two if by sea" story, the Boston Tea Party, and Paul Revere's ride--all ... Read More
