Review of Tonka

Tonka (1958)
7/10
A Disney distributed film that needs to be widely seen as a wonderful family film decades after it was made
20 November 2020
This is the first film I can recall that I watched. I must have been 6 years old at that time. I have never forgotten it over the last 60 years. I consider it the most unsung Walt Disney distributed family film that was ever made. It ends with the historical Battle of Little Big Horn and the Gen Custer's last stand. Much of the details of the historical event are correct. I wish the film gets a wider audience today and that parents today could encourage their young kids to watch it. What's more--it is a rare example of politically correct depiction of native Indians of USA.
