DVD Reviews of The Adventures of Mark Twain

DVD Review: Wife loved it
Summary: 5 Stars

My wife has fond memories of watching this movie with her brother and sister while growing up. They didn't have a lot of movies but this was one of them. She was quite surprised and incredibly happy when it arrived. We watched it together later that night. While I wasn't into the movie quite as much as she was I did enjoy it and will watch it again.

DVD Review: Bizarre and Beautiful
Summary: 4 Stars

I saw this movie for the first time when I was very, very young and impressionable. Evidently, after that, it completely vanished from the cinematic world; I couldn't find the blasted thing ANYwhere. As I child, I was deeply disturbed by the concepts and imagery presented in this movie, and, in fact, had nightmares about it for many years afterward. I had finally become convinced that the movie never actually existed, and that the whole concept originated solely in my own dreams, when I found it here, @ Amazon.com. Wow. HA! I'm not completely insane! (At least, not for that reason.) Vindication!

As an adult, I can appreciate the brilliance and artistic feat displayed in this wonderful little gem of a movie. If you've never seen it, get it. It is worth it.

DVD Review: Great Claymation
Summary: 4 Stars

I think they played this movie on regular T.V. once. It was banned after one showing because of the mature overtones. It made a lasting impression on me because the morbid storyline and depictions of good and evil were a little extreme for a children's claymation movie. I had not watched it in about twenty years but it was still very entertaining. If you enjoy claymation this is probably the best movie you can buy as it is the first full length film completely in claymation. This movie is an obscure classic that stands out from all other claymation films.

DVD Review: Glad that I have this now in DVD format.
Summary: 5 Stars

The Adventures of Mark TwainThis has the best segments on Adam and Eve that I have ever seen. It is hilarious; the more you watch it, the more of the subtle humor you experience. I first saw this when I purchased it on VHS for my daughter about 20 years ago. Of course, children watch movies 100 times which make them great bargains, but this one is exceptional and Mark Twain's humor is every bit as much for adults as the claymation is for children. I highly recommend it. The only thing that would make it better is if it came in blue ray.

DVD Review: sharing nostalgia with my grandchildren
Summary: 5 Stars

What a wonderful way to spend time with my grand children. Claymation is such special part of artsic history.

Description of The Adventures of Mark Twain

Based on elements from the stories of Mark Twain, this feature-length Claymation?(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.
