All Critics (2) | Fresh (2)

Dated movie about MLK Jr. offers positive lessons for kids.

At times, the shift from cartoon to news footage seems a bit forced, but it works most of the time.

its a great animated telling of the life of MLK jr. and it is extremely well casted and acted for something you'd see as a after school special
