"From one of the producers of Hook and Jurassic Park comes this 'satisfying, eye catching family adventure' (The Movie Reporter)! Based on the beloved story, this wholesome coming-of-age tale is 'a wonderful family film full of tender moments, exciting adventure and good, old-fashioned values' ('The 700 Club')! Far away on a tropical island, an orphan boy named Tama is 'cursed' by his tribe and finds comfort with a fellow outcast: Mahana, a feisty girl shunned for her ragged appearance. When Tama sails off in search of a new life, he promises a tearful Mahana to return for her someday. But Tama's journey leads him to Johnny Lingo, a wealthy trader who makes Tama his apprentice and heir. Now, as Tama embraces his new life, he must learn that the measure of a man is not in his possessions but in love, friendship and -- in Tama's case -- honoring a promise from the past."--Container.
