| Professional Review: |
| Based on elements from the stories of Mark Twain, this feature-length ClaymationÂ(r) fantasy follows the adventures of Tom Sawyer, Becky Thatcher, and Huck Finn as they stowaway aboard the interplanetary balloon of Mark Twain. Twain, disgusted with the Human Race, is intent upon finding Halley's Comet and crashing into it, achieving his "destiny." It's up to Tom, Becky, and Huck to convince him hat his judgment is wrong, and that he still has much to offer humanity that might make a difference. Their efforts aren't just charitable; if they fail, they will share Twain's fate. Along the way, they use a magical time portal to get a detailed overview of the Twain philosophy, observing the "historical" events that inspired his works. |

Written on February 2, 2006 Summary: A Childhood Favorite I used to watch this movie nonstop when I was a kid. The Adam and Eve parts are so funny. This movie has a lot to it, but most people probably won't appreciate it for wha it's really worth. This movie, while having some storyline issues, is actually a lot of fun and gets children introduced to some of Mark Twain's greatest stories and characters. It's certainly cheap enough. I'm thrilled to finally own it since I haven't seen it since sometime in the 80's.  Written on February 1, 2006 Summary: It's on DVD finally!!! I have been waiting for years to get this movie on DVD. I remember watching it on the Disney Channel in the late 80's and have been watching an old rental video tape I purchased on eBay hoping that it won't break. Yes, the movie is a little dark, but something about the imaginative spirit of this movie has made it stick in my mind for 20 years. It is a must have for any fan of Claymation, mark twain, or just great movies! It's a great movie for the whole family, but I'd watch it first before showing it to small children, because the "mysterious stranger" scene may be a little scary for some kids. Other than that, it's a wonderful movie and I recommend it. Written on January 15, 2006 Summary: Dark and Strange Claymation animator Will Vinton's first -- and to date, only -- full-length feature is based on Mark Twain's lesser-known writings, including "Tom Sawyer Abroad" and "The Mysterious Stranger." (It also owes a substantial debt to Justin Kaplan's critical biography "Mr. Clemons and Mark Twain.") The storyline is episodic and incoherent, but individual scenes -- especially the "Mysterious Stranger" sequence -- are as good as animation gets. Vinton's "Adventures of Mark Twain" is probably too strange for most audiences, and its nightmarish imagery is not suitable for young children. Twain buffs, however, will be delighted. |
