Irishchatter I found out about this film from just researching racism films on Google and this one of them that popped up here. I even read the real Ruby Bridges Wikipedia page to get what happened in her life and I swear, it was mindblowning to think a little girl like her, was one of the first black pupils to walk to a white school in the state's at that time. I mean christ, I say it was pure shocking to her. I was horrified but not surprised that they would hold disgusting stuff like a a black doll in a coffin or having someone threatening poison at ya. Imagine having white trash saying stuff right at your face every time you go to school and the fact you are coloured. I swear that made my blood boil to 100 degrees. It was pure ignorant and disgusting back then when white people were treating black people as different. Whites and blacks are equal as each other! Unfortunately racism still continues to this day!I just think Ruby Bridges among Rosa Parks, Martin Luther king and others, are so inspirational to highlighting racism in this world and are such icons to make us hear their voices. I have to say, well done to Disney and the cast for being involved with sharing this story!

gapeach1004 This was a really great movie up until the part where they acted like the north didn't have slaves. Perpetrating stereotypes is wrong. This movie is trying to teach a message and it puts this in there? Give me a break. I know this happened in Louisiana as to why the movie is set there, but that doesn't mean the north is automatically some great place where everyone got along.I still enjoyed the movie. I really feel for Ruby and her struggle.

LeRoyMarko There's probably at least a dozen movies like this one, but most are better. Ruby Bridges is a little black girl who breaks new grounds by attending an all-white school in New Orleans in 1960. The movie is not very inspiring and the acting is not very good. Skip this one.6 out of 10.

scoobyg69 Disney has done it again. Several years ago, they have captured the real life drama of the intergration at Little Rock Central High school with the powerful film, "The Ernest Green Story." Now, they have struck gold twice with this equaling stirring true-life story of Ruby Bridges, the little black girl who successfully intergrated an all white school in New Orleans in the midst of riots, and hate mongers. This incredible tale is not JUST about racial differences, but it is also a testimony to the strength and power of God that little Ruby puts her faith in for help. Powerful performances by all. This is a MUST-SEE! Thank you Disney, for giving us a positive film about strength, courage, and the power of God.
