Summary: Great for classroom
Comment: 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.

Summary: Fun & Educational
Comment: I have been showing this film in my middle school classroom for years (on VHS) and needed an update. It is warm, sometimes funny, and brings MLK to life as the boy who grows up to be one of life's great heroes. The characters'"voices" are familiar and every year the kids ask to see it again.
I highly recommend this one.

Summary: Great DVD!
Comment: This is one of the best DVD's ever for children! It gives a clear idea of what it was like to be a minority in the 1960's and how MLK helped lead the civil rights movement. I show it every year to my fifth grade students.Our Friend, Martin

Summary: teacher
Comment: I showed this film to a mixed level high school group. Through out the film, the students were making comments "about how could this happen? Did you really see this?" etc. It is interesting to see that where as I lived a lot of this, these students only heard about it.The fact that it was low key and annimated let these students feel comfortable with their discussions. Unfortunately, they don't have an complete understanding of how much Mr. King did for us. The film is a good tool for discussion.

What begins as a routine class project for a diverse group of sixth-graders turns into a magical, time-traveling adventure they'll never forget! Authentic historical footage of Martin Luther King Jr. is blended with colorful animation as the students learn about - and actually meet - the civil rights leader who challenged all Americans to turn his dream of freedom into reality. Produced in association with the King family, "Our Friend, Martin" features an unprecedented all-star voice cast and a hot hit soundtrack with music performed by top contemporary artists and classic Motown greats. It's a fun, new way for your family to share Dr. King's inspiring message of hope and courage that changed the course of our nation's history.
