i just watched the movie on TV and it was perfect. im a kid-ish teen and I think I would have loved it even at age 6. Thank you for very much to the actors and the director for this movie.

A great movie. The shots of real Gloucester fishing schooners under sail are alone worth the price of admission several times over.

One of the best childhood films. This movie is filled chock full of great lessons for young and old.
