This also occurs in the translation of children’s literature. Subsequently, texts written for children are often imbued with adult ideologies. Due to children’s literature being a constructed notion, a space for adult manipulation of texts for children is thus created. This situation results in children’s literature operating as an adult-constructed notion, based on assumptions about children and childhood. However, as happened with Tom Sawyer, the 1931 Huckleberry Finn was superseded only eight years later by MGM's far more faithful The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, starring Mickey Rooney as Huck, Rex Ingram as Jim, Walter Connolly as the King, and William Frawley as the Duke.Īccording to Leonard Maltin, the film is "charming, but very, very dated".Children’s literature usually consists of texts that are written by adults for a child readership. The film was made as a follow-up to Paramount's Tom Sawyer, which had been released a year earlier with substantially the same cast and became the top-grossing film of 1930. Omitting the entire issue of whether or not Huck ought to turn the slave Jim back in after Jim escapes his owners, it concentrated mostly on the comedy in the novel, and turned Jim into the typical comic "darkie" stereotype of that era. This is an adaptation of the classic novel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain and is a follow-up to Tom Sawyer (1930).
