The elementary students at Oliver Springs Elementary School in Van Buren, Arkansas spent two years raising funds for, producing, shooting and editing together a twenty-minute long Indiana Jones minute and y'all must see this. Here's the link on YouTube. This will certainly brighten your evening if nothing else will :-)

They also got Karen Allen herself to do the voice of Marion.

These kids made a movie with a lot more heart than the Indiana Jones movie this past summer.

They should have released this at theaters instead of the last two Indiana Jones features.

Ain't that the truth! If this last Indiana Jones movie from the studio had even HALF the heart and soul as what these kids did with their production, it would have been a MUCH better film.

I went to see it in the theater. Mostly in memory of my late father, with whom we never missed seeing an Indiana Jones movie on opening weekend.

It was more like IJINO: "Indiana Jones In Name Only". They took one of the greatest characters of modern cinema, and turned him into a pitiful shell of his former glory.

These Arkansas kids did profoundly much better at capturing and conveying Indy's heart and soul.

Not much here is about the kids. Kevin Croxton is an Emmy award-winning composer from Arkansas, wrote the music for this, was a main executive producer, directed it, etc. They had a professional news-station photographer as DP. So on and so forth.

The first time it was done was by an 11-year-old and a 12-year-old starting back in 1982 after the original movie came out and finished it in 1989.

Yeah, it’s pretty obvious there was a real pro behind the camera and also driving the jeep etc. Still the kids raised the money themselves, and that’s REALLY commendable.
