Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
This animated time-travel adventure features a stellar cast and is a delight for kids and adults alike. When Matt, a black teenager, has to go on a class field trip to the museum of Martin Luther King Jr., he thinks that he'd rather play baseball. But the trip turns into an exciting adventure when he and his best friend, Randy, who's white, are sent back in time to meet Dr. King.
The story is also remarkably moving, as Matt and Randy learn what Dr. King did for humanity, and come to see him as a real person, not a historical figure. Matt and Randy experience segregation firsthand when they aren't allowed to eat on a train together. Together, they witness the bus boycott, the Birmingham riots, and the "I Have a Dream" speech. They discuss the theme of "non-violent resistance" with their new friend Martin and the work of Ghandi in India. As King tells Matt, "We must meet hate with love. It will take time, but somebody's got to start." Authentic historical footage blended with animation make this an excellent choice for teaching kids about the legacy of Dr. King. --Elisabeth Keating

Our Friend Martin is a wonder cartoon video with flashback of real news footage from the 1960s. Great teach tool for educators and for family viewing. My complaint is only the $79.00 price tag for this film.
If my son had not made a special birthday request for this video, which he had viewed in school, I would have never paid $79.00. Half this price would be more more reasonable. My only consolation is that the historical content of the movie makes it a keepsake item.

This is very good for school age children, we show it at our elementary school. I HAVE HAD THIS SINCE IT CAME OUT IN 1999 AND THE CHILDREN LOVE IT, but the price for the dvd is ridiculous fifty dollars

This DVD tells about the life of Dr. Martin Luther King in a way that spans several age groups. I purchased the video cassette about 9 years ago for my daughter's K4 class. I have since purchased additional copies and donated to teachers and libraries in my community. The material even appeals to the upper elementary grade students. This is a great teaching tool.

I use this every year for Black History month. Kids love it of all ages. It has some big names performing in the cartoon. A great buy.

I originally purchased this for a friend who is also a teacher, however after seeing it, I decided I wanted one for my classroom as well! It is a great mix of animation and actual footage. My friend teaches in the primary grades and we both felt additional instruction and explanation might be necessary for that audience. I teach upper elementary and the DVD will support a basal reader selection quite nicely and without additional instruction. Highly recommend.
