The Adventures of Mark Twain (1985)
Wonderful animation, wonderful script
This is an amazing piece of animation and script. The script is taken almost entirely from the works of Mark Twain, especially some of his lesser known pieces of satire. The whole sequence on Adam and Eve is the best. The "Mysterious Stranger" segment is particularly dark and brooding. Vinton has done an excellent and clever job of mixing real events in Twain's life, the fact that he was born and died with the appearing of Haley's Comet, and events and characters from his "fictional" life, the characters of Tom Sawyer. A masterpiece for devotees of Mark Twain and those who know little but want to know more. We can only hope that it will be released soon. The is no artistic reason to lock it away in a vault. I first saw it 15 years ago on an overnight movie program on a local TV station. I have regretted not being able to see it again except on a poor quality video tape I made of the show.
