Comment: By rechecking and replacing my tiny pics, I found that there are now 2 different movies. All pics except 1 from my existing post, titled B-TV's Tom Sawyer (2012), rating 7, are in fact from the 2003 version made by the students.

All pics here are from the real 2012 version made by "Torbenson Productions" (maybe the teacher) and this one is even better. I never liked the tight, faded shortalls of the 2003 Tom Sawyer.

Nice raw denim, barefoot and shirtless scenes (shirtless at least 2 boys) and the raw denim bibs are also wet, looking like black. I think Tom Sawyer (pic 2 in the middle?) not wearing bibs here? The school scene is similar (same location) but the boy with the dunce cap (pic 3) has one strap down.

Note, the very long bibs in pic 2 and the boy in bibs lying on the ground in pic 4. The boy in pic 5 is also shown close-up. Pic 6 is a behind-the scenes and not full screen.

Rating 7-8 for this one. Also rather few boys in bibs, around 3. Shorter lake scene. Other Tom Sawyer posts coming soon.
