Well, I'm 14 so I'd think it was 2006 or 2008 or 2009 or something but I remember being at elementary and watching this every martin luther king day. But I'm in High School now, so I guess things have changed. East Arcadia School was my school, gave me so many memories
This just unlocked a memory from elementary school. We all gathered in the library, the librarian rolled in the cart with the TV and VCR, and we all sat on little pillows on the floor and watched this movie. Then, after it was over, we had a discussion.
I originally wasn't going to get shown this until my UA teacher showed it to me, although she couldn't finish it at all since we only have like 20 or 30 minutes in her class, maybe 40 or 50
Same! I’m watching this as an adult for the first time an I’ve been bawling my eyes out 😭 I remember watching this every year in elementary school and I grew up in Memphis, TN too so we got to take field trips to the civil rights museum here downtown
I went to pre school in Harlem and my entire kindergarten class watched this in the cafeteria during recess. I specifically remember the dog chase scene.
First time watching this as an adult and I am left emotional. I am more touched by this film than I ever was when I watched this as a child. #ForeverKing
That moment when martin goes back to his own time and then suddenly that gunshot is heard gave me chills the first time i saw this movie, it made me feel so sad because miles just wanted to save him. And man, rewatching it again still gives me those chills. It's such a tragedy that martin luther king jr's life was taken away at a young age. He was a true human who all he ever wanted was for everyone to be seen as equals, to show that even if we are different on the outside by skin color, on the inside we are the same… we are human beings. Sadly racism is still strong till this day. It may be a horrible reality we are all living in, but that doesn’t mean we can’t do something about it. We can take action to protect those who suffer this cruel form of hatred.
This had to come out before 1999, because I was in kindergarten in 96, and I 100% remember watching this in the auditorium along with other kindergarten classes.
Wow I remember watching this movie every year in Elementary I was very fascinated with MLK and his life as a kid. I remember reading every book in my school library about him. Also one of my teachers marched with him and she attended his funeral and showed us footage she had of his funeral on a VHS tape (it was impressive because we didn’t have TH-cam back then) and she bought the obituary she had to class to let us see it.
My sophomore high school principal actually met and shook Dr. King‘s hand when he was a young man every Martin Luther King Jr. day he would regale with the tale of how he met Dr. King and I could hear the pride in his voice that he got to meet such a great man
We’ve been watching it in my school since 2nd grade and we watched it again in 3rd grade then 4th grade and now I am in 5th grade I assume we will watch it the next Martin Luther long week
I come back to watch this movie every year for MLK Jr. day because it has such a strong and beautiful message, thank you Martin for making the world a better place, Happy Martin Luther King Jr. day!
It's that time of the year again. I've seen people criticize this movie for being unrealistic, but I still feel like this movie has a strong message told in a powerful way. Happy MLK day!
Wowww my dumb elementary school did not deserve such a cinematic masterpiece 😭😭😭 the final scene when kid Martin walks into his home, knowing his fate but still willing to make that sacrifice for the betterment of the future, was toooo deep for me to appreciate 😭🔥🔥🔥
I'm a boy from Brazil and even though our cultures are very different, Dr. King's message of love is universal and this simple animation is a great demonstration of the importance of his attitudes.
I'm 28 and not ashamed to say I still LOVE and watch this movie. Those 60s was one screwed up decade. Dr. King had balls of Titanium steel to do what he did because I know I could never have the courage to stand up like he did.
60's? don't you mean the 1920's,30,s 40,s,50's and 60's. those were all screwed up decades, the 70's was when things started to finally change thanks to MLK and other civil right activists.
I remember watching this every year in elementary and having discussions after we watched it. I am now 26 and think about it every MLK day and finally actually Googled it to make sure it wasn't a fever dream because no one in my current town remembers it. Going to watch it again for old time's sake.
I miss watching this in school every year. We stopped watching this once I got to middle school, now I’m a senior I college 😢 When did people stop caring about history and keeping it alive?
Most of us still do, but political polarization post-COVID, as well as a horrendous 2016-2020 presidency combined with increasing political extremism and religious violence, particularly by MAGA, has everyone’s mental health sinking below the sea. We should know better by now, all of us…!
14:44 as a kid i never really cared about what she meant by that statement but growing up and getting older i started to realize what she meant by "hanging"
😢 He.... They tried to show him what he did, but because of time travel..... He had to stay in his time to save so many.... But evil took him... Wonder (in the movie sence)he probably knew what that boy was gonna say. Makes him more a hero, knew he would die, but fulfilled his destiny & made a better world than he left behind
I genuinely love this movie for being my first introduction to Dr. King's work. I think I was 5 or 6 when I was shown this movie in kindergarten on Martin Luther King day. I'll be real, I'm white and I was clueless about racism. I had received such a powerful lesson of empathy for others from this movie. I was so moved that I genuinely thought Martin Luther King ended racism. If only it were been that simple. If only everyone had heard King's speeches and heard he was speaking God's truths. If only he were never assassinated. Martin Luther King Jr. is one of my heroes, not only as a cultural but a spiritual leader for his time. If I ever was to lead a movement, I would take some serious notes from Dr. King's book. He may have died too soon but his message of peace overcoming all conflict lives on in the generations of children who came after him that learn the importance of his work in the Civil Rights movement.
I think the moral it was trying to give is: "You can't change the past without disastrous results, so instead try to focus on changing the future by spreading love and kindness"
Instead of changing history, learn from it and never repeat it, strive to be better, try to be more than what others might and will believe. Pass on what needs to be remembered, and do it with a strong heart, a wise mind, and a kind smile.
Man I remember when I watched this in school I think 2003. I was only 8 when I watched it and I remember being quite sad at the ending of it. The gunshot followed by the real life footage after never left my mind even now.
I loved this movie, They need to show this in Highschool in American History or something cause this would probably be the only thing I wouldn't fall asleep on 💀
I used to watch this when I was a kid in elementary school. I thought I'd watch this movie this year for a special treat for MLK day, and a blast of nostalgia
Got showed this movie once in elementary school for MLK day, I still remember big chunks of the film despite it being almost 15 years ago. Glad someone put it up online.
Unlocked a core memory. 5th grade classroom, teacher wheels in the big TV on a stand with the VCR under it. Puts in the VHS, something like this comes up.
Now both of the two MLK children who appeared who had roles in this have died. It's like they were meant to be a part of Prince's message of death from his song 1999, as this was in fact released in January 1999. May Dexter and Yolanda King rest in peace.
this was the movie that showed me how some people in this world can be so discriminatory to people just because the color of their skin, I watched this back in 2nd grade and I couldn't understand why they did it and till this day I still can't understand why.
Same, I can’t recall when the last I watched it was…but I think it was in elementary, i think a few weeks ago…the end titles song started playing in my head. It’s the end titles song that I remember the most.
I watch this movie every year. I was born Jan 18, the week of Martin Luther King’s birthday, and I was shown this in class in elementary and it stuck with me ever since. It shows a dark history of America, but it also shows how people strived (and continue to strive) for a better America where people are equal.
Anyone still watch this in elementary because I watch all the way in kindergarten 2011-2017 5th grade but not anymore but still remover this and keep watching this because ik in. 8th grade
Yup. Funny thing is that it had a lot of big name voices for a str8 to VHS movie. I didn't even know that John Travolta and Lucas Black played in this movie until later. LOL
Awww memories... this brings me back a long time when I was a kid watch that movie back at elementary school it was a very good movie I sure do miss it in the old days
I'm so glad I could find this movie! I remember watching it in elementary school and it always stuck with me. So much so that my own daughter is now in kindergarten, and I'm showing her the movie on Monday. 💖
Because you guys won't experience what real television and shows are. Before your generation, there were always shows that had messages behind them and gave guidance. I was born in 1994 and experienced awesome television.
I'm 23 years young and I think I first saw this movie at age 7 if not younger. I saw it more than once in elementary school and I'm very grateful for that. It hits different now, and I find it hard to imagine living in those times. I'm mixed race (black and white) , so I presume I'd have never been born! If I was, shoot I might've been killed. wow
just sat down with my son and watched this. I loved this movie when I was a little girl and I'm so glad that my son can enjoy it too ! Happy MLKD 2017 ❤
I remember first watching this at school and then afterwards I remember my mom and the blockbuster guy laughing at me when I asked for this movie lol but I will always love it and I own the dvd and watch it to this day❤️
LeVar Burton Whoopi Goldberg James Earl Jones Samuel L Jackson Angela Basset Danny Glover Ed Asner Ashley Judd Richard Kind Susan Sarandon John Travolta Oprah Winfrey In a educational Martin Luther King cartoon that talks about civil rights and people should get along and what a great cast
This awoken a part of my childhood that has been locked away for a long period of generations. Every year during black history month we'd always watch this in class and it was an eye opening message to all of us to learn the truth behind the history of the Caucasian and African-American cultures. After the movie was over we'd have a discussion. Not only that; I remember that next day all of my classmates and I all came together and made a pact we will care for each other and see heart and not color thanks to our third grade teacher. 9 year old me: YAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!
I didn’t really realize until now that famous African Americans were in this film Dexter King (MLK’s younger son) as Dr King age 34 Yolanda King (Dr King’s oldest daughter) as Christine King James Earl Jones (who was Mufasa in The Lion King) as Daddy King Samuel L Jackson (actor) as Turner Oprah Winfrey (TV star) as Coretta Scott King
I've never seen this. thank you for sharing this video my daughter's 8 years old and she loves history. and lately she's shown great interest in Martin Luther king along with Nelson Mandela. I will be showing this to her after school today thanks again
It took forever for me to find this movie the only scene I remember is him walking through the doorframe. I googled, “martin luther king jr kids movie about the house animated”
Happy Martin Luther King Day 2021. I remember my social studies teacher showing us this movie in 5th grade. As a white man, Dr. King is inspirational and admirable to me. There is only one race, the human race. We are here on earth and we all have unique but relatable experiences.
This show just give me nostalgic and I will never forget this movie because everything before mlk day I will always watch this movie to never forget this movie
I am showing this to all of my college roommates today. They didn’t believe me when I told them the plot of this movie, so now we are watching it for MLK Jr. Day
You know.. even though this was made a while ago, I love it. Today at school my teacher showed this to the class and we watched it. I'm pretty sure everyone loves it. I'm glad that people have equal rights. If we didn't have Martin, this world would have sucked. R.I.P Martin Luther King Jr❤️
I'm pretty sure all of us watched this in elementary school
Hell yeah!!

He didn’t die for us.....he was murdered. But it’s sad how we’re still being treated like we’re not humans. Agreed.
The entire cast is extremely iconic. One of the best tributes to Dr. King and his legacy!! I cried so much watching this as an adult 😭

Yessir
So would you say its not age-appropriate for a child age 7 that has not knowledge of such past diversity
I'm 28 and not ashamed to say I still LOVE and watch this movie. Those 60s was one screwed up decade. Dr. King had balls of Titanium steel to do what he did because I know I could never have the courage to stand up like he did.
are you black or white or..
+Ellise Walton Why is that question relevant?
60's? don't you mean the 1920's,30,s 40,s,50's and 60's. those were all screwed up decades, the 70's was when things started to finally change thanks to MLK and other civil right activists.
good thing Disney was doing some great stuff

Facts lol
i am so glad this movie actually exists. it was in my brain as a distant memory, and here it is
This had a great impact when seeing this as a kid in elementary school. It gives goosebumps
Yes it did it was to remind us that he fought hard for our freedom and rights to get us where we need to be today same with Malcolm X
I must be the only person that watched this in middle school and not elementary school
So would you say its not age-appropriate for a child age 7 that has not knowledge of such past diversity
Watched this in school when I was a kid ! Gonna watch it with my kids today ! 01/16/23!

This movie made me learn a valuable lesson. If you alter the past, it will affect the future. No matter what you do, never change history.
Nah
I think the moral it was trying to give is: "You can't change the past without disastrous results, so instead try to focus on changing the future by spreading love and kindness"
Instead of changing history, learn from it and never repeat it, strive to be better, try to be more than what others might and will believe.

yeah joey i'll remember this moral next time i go back to back in time to 1941
Thank the lord for this comment, I was about to rewrite history to make hitler gay. Would’ve truly been a travesty.

It hits different now, and I find it hard to imagine living in those times. I'm mixed race (black and white) , so I presume I'd have never been born! If I was, shoot I might've been killed. wow
just sat down with my son and watched this. I loved this movie when I was a little girl and I'm so glad that my son can enjoy it too ! Happy MLKD 2017 ❤
hello

Ruslan Nabioullin fuck you bitch, MLK was a great man you racist fuck
L Lawliet Go back to your herd, you indoctrinated, docile, brainless sheep.
When Martin walks back in that house and he physically ages gets me every time. Whew.
Thank you! I’m 23 now and remember seeing this in school my wife had no idea what I was talking about and I got to share a childhood memory. ❤️😂
I remember watching this as a kid in elementary school it always stuck with me and today I finally looked it up and watched it again great movie
My daughter watched this in2016&2017!!🙏🏻🙏🏻
They are lucky to touch Martin's hand. They are lucky to talk to Martin. They are lucky they visited the past. They are lucky they did all that. 💕
I remember first watching this at school and then afterwards I remember my mom and the blockbuster guy laughing at me when I asked for this movie lol but I will always love it and I own the dvd and watch it to this day❤️
I’m here in 2021 still watching this every year in school or not
Same
I watched this movie in 8th and I've watched it on this day every year since, I wish I could thank Dr.Martin in person. ❤️
Hey Queen
I watched this countless times in elementary school

I have always admired MLK's work since I heard so much about him. This film makes me cry every time I watch it.

In a educational Martin Luther King cartoon that talks about civil rights and people should get along and what a great cast
I had this movie at home. The time traveling stuff is so trippy! The watch too. Man, core memory stuff right here.
This awoken a part of my childhood that has been locked away for a long period of generations. Every year during black history month we'd always watch this in class and it was an eye opening message to all of us to learn the truth behind the history of the Caucasian and African-American cultures. After the movie was over we'd have a discussion. Not only that; I remember that next day all of my classmates and I all came together and made a pact we will care for each other and see heart and not color thanks to our third grade teacher.
9 year old me: YAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!
I didn’t really realize until now that famous African Americans were in this film

Wow i know she will enjoy this : )

Now we need Malcolm x cartoon
My non American husband was saying how he doesn’t care about MLK and I took it personally because of this movie 😭
He’s cancelled then
My Husband is non American too and he would never say that. That’s something with his character.
Is your husband Russian?
It took forever for me to find this movie the only scene I remember is him walking through the doorframe. I googled, “martin luther king jr kids movie about the house animated”
Happy Martin Luther King Day 2021. I remember my social studies teacher showing us this movie in 5th grade. As a white man, Dr. King is inspirational and admirable to me. There is only one race, the human race. We are here on earth and we all have unique but relatable experiences.
This show just give me nostalgic and I will never forget this movie because everything before mlk day I will always watch this movie to never forget this movie
Bro this gives me nostalgia back when I was in elementary school.
My 2nd grade memory.😭❤️

This movie came out when I was 10. I'm 30 now and this is my first time watching it. I wish I had seen it sooner.
that don’t add up. this came out in 2012 which means its been out for 9 years. therefore you would be 19. liar

I am showing this to all of my college roommates today. They didn’t believe me when I told them the plot of this movie, so now we are watching it for MLK Jr. Day
You know.. even though this was made a while ago, I love it. Today at school my teacher showed this to the class and we watched it. I'm pretty sure everyone loves it. I'm glad that people have equal rights. If we didn't have Martin, this world would have sucked. R.I.P Martin Luther King Jr❤️
I Will Always Remember Him
me to just thinking bout him makes me sad
i wish he was alive right now):
Me Too
