Title: The names are the same. That's about all.
Product review: What a bummer of a movie! Why did the writers of the screen play see the need rewrite (and poorly at that) what was already a wonderful, wonderful story? Sam's Dad is a mere flash in the pan. Bando spends too much time singing songs that, to my recollection, were no part of the book. And what's up with Sam taking a microscope into the wilderness so that he can "conduct algae experiments"? Killing off Frightful was an unforgiveable departure from the "real" story. If ever a movie needed to be remade, and properly, this is the one! One good thing ... I was pleased to see my son, who has trouble with reading comprehension, get filled with indignation at the way they spoiled his favorite story of all time. Seeing him point out the endless discrepancies let me know that he is overcoming his comprehension troubles.
