This is a movie that I watched a lot as a kid, having taped it off (I presume) HBO. It's one of those movies that stays with you. I haven't seen it since I was in grade school, but, watching it now, I'm not sure if I forgot even a second of it. It was the first feature film made entirely with clay. Mark Twain plans to fly his airship to meet up with Halley's Comet. Three of his most famous characters, Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn and Becky Thatcher, stow away on the ship. When discovered, Twain makes them his crew. On the ship, they are told some of Twain's stories, and here plenty of his famous witticisms (almost all of Twain's dialogue is made up of his nuggets of wisdom). The movie starts off pretty slow, and some of the comedy early on is only moderately amusing. However, as it moves on, the film becomes darker, discovering the cynicism and sadness that exists in the works of Mark Twain. The most memorable sequence has the children meeting Satan, inspired by the posthumously published work The Mysterious Stranger. My other favorite segment is from The Diaries of Captain Stormfield, where a man arrives at an alien version of Heaven. Thanks go to the Onion's A.V. Club for pointing out that this was released on DVD a while back. I never would have caught that myself.
