If you have never heeded my posts, I ask you to heed this one....
Years ago Walt Disney produced this great movie explaining liberty, and in the newly released DVD it includes special segments where uncle Walt himself explained liberty, what it means, why it is important and why it must be defended....
Not only you, but your children will understand it's lessons, and if many of us will die fighting this criminal bama, then it will fall to our children to understand why he is wrong and we and the founders where right....
Take this gift from Walt Disney himself to explain why they will have to carry on when we are gone....why what America is, is different than any other country, and why it must be restored and rescued from these criminals....
I remember when this played on Uncle Walt’s show (when I was much much younger). I loved it. It made me want to read the book and find out more.....the rest as they say is history
it is a simple movie that reflects American values unlike the current Disney Company.....this was a different time, and Walt was still here....he loved this country, and the message of this film, “Johnny Tremain” will be understood by any age.....and you, my fellow Freepers will agree will all that is said....
BTTT!!!!
Do you know when this program will be broadcast next time? Please share when I can record this movie. I love liberty, I want to share it’s meaning with my children. Thank You

sorry about the typos.....but this film MUST be seen.....
This was required reading in some of our sixth or seventh grade classes. I never read it, but I got hooked on Kenneth Roberts novels. They are outstanding.
I cannot imagine the Disney Company of today ever airing such a patriotic film.....today’s Disney ABC promotes teen age sex and romance and has no clue to what Walt believed in......
Johnny Tremain explains why we should fight the dems and bama every day we breath air......every day....Mark Levin would endorse this film.....
As I recall, the young actor who played Johnny Tremaine also played the part of the son on the TV show The Rifleman (starring Chuck Connors).
It does not appear to be available on DVDs that you can buy.
This was on my required summer reading list back in grade school. I remember my parents bought me a copy and I think I read it several times while growing up. I still remember the picture on the dust jacket.
Walt Disney was a very decent guy, and his company made many excellent, morally positive movies until he died and the bad guys started taking it over.
They still made some good movies, but you could no longer count on them for family values.
Both an excellent book and movie. Read and saw them when I was young and learned about the fight for freedom through the characters in them.
Highly recommend for children as young as 11. Definitely needed in today’s age of “historical deconstruction”.
Disney was a great patriot, esp. during WW2, with his studios helping to win friends in Latin America. Also his movies and cartoons were well done, both in their professional context as well as in their pro-America, pro-freedom messages.
Today we have Quentin Tarantino, Michael Moore, Oliver Stone, and Spike Lee, among others, who make a lot of money attacking the very country that gives them the freedom to make crap, distort history and promote their own brand of hate.
Unfortunately, Walt Disney’s successors at Disney Studios, have turned more to the Left, negating the pro-America stance of a great movie industry giant.
Reading “Johnny Tremain” is a good start for young people in their education to counter the leftist propaganda now flooding the movie screens, air waves, music, and in print.
Great movie from back in the days when the Disney Company stood for something good.
We have a classoom set in our middle school book room! Great books never go away....
