Will Vinton's claymation work is always gorgeous, and this is no different, but it's a movie about a death seeking Mark Twain being accompanied to his final reward by living versions of his characters - characters that are ACKNOWLEDGED AS BEING FICTITIOUS within the same movie. Characters that interact with several of Twain's other, far lesser known works, including The Mysterious Stranger and The Diary of Adam and Eve. If you can pop an edible before watching this one, I recommend it. Also, full confession, the theme song by Billy Scream has not stopped running through my mind in the last 30 odd years.

See more Jacob B @RT89309114 Sep 18, 2024 Probably one of the most underrated animated films of the '80s, The Adventures of Mark Twain is a treat for both fans of the author and animation enthusiasts alike. With very expressive claymation that still holds up, attention being drawn to some of the lesser-known entries in his bibliography and respecting its audience enough to not shy away from darker elements such as the Mysterious Stranger segment, which I found unsettling but not truly scary, and the premise being made more obvious as the film progresses that it's about a man's death wish. It's also quite funny sometimes, mainly during the "Diary of Adam and Eve" segments. Overall, while I admit this film might not be for everyone, primarily if you dismiss it because of its art style, for animation fans, this is a hidden gem from what I consider to be an experimental decade for the medium before the dawn of the Disney Renaissance.

See more Chris M @RT21954632 Feb 13, 2023 The claymation can be beautiful and a little terrifying at the same time. The stories work but sometimes with some odd or annoying parts. But overall, it's a flawed but still very good movie that needs to be seen to be believed. See more Read all reviews
