Editorial Review:
Based on elements from the stories of Mark Twain this feature-length Claymation® 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.System Requirements:Run Time: 86 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating: G UPC: 027616134813 Manufacturer No: 13481

Rating:  - Just as I remembered it...
When I was the ripe old age of ten, I watched this movie at Grandmas house. I remember frantically pawing through the TV Guide to find what the name was...I had started watching it about five minutes in, and they didn't show the title again.
Nearly twenty years later I found a clip on 'YouTube' that sparked my memory, and hunted it down through Google. Thank God for technology....
My son and I watched The Adventures of Mark Twain together, and I was surprised by how relevant ... Read More
Rating:  - Wonderful movie for children and adults alike.
This is a witty, humorous, and informative adventure film which quite some time (and skill) was put into the making of.
Mark Twain was a notorious cusser, and this film contains a few words taken to be swearwords, "Hell" and "Damn" which are repeated a few times. However, they are not used in a derogatory sense but rather a religious one, during which he is philosophizing over the nature of the afterlife, or trying to impress the severity of the situation to the children aboard the blimp with ...

Rating: - Reliving childhood
To be absolutely honest, this is probably a biased review. I owned a Betamax of this movie when I was a kid, and when I bought it and rewatched it, it blew me away just like it did when I was a kid. I can't believe this is made in 1984, it looks absolutely gorgeous. If anything stops this claymation from being absolutely perfect, its Eve's voice in it. The woman who voiced Eve sounds like she's in a hurry, bored and is maybe sleepy. It kinda sucks because it ruins the otherwise surreal mood of the movie. ... Read More
Rating: - Not at all what you may be expecting
This movie definitly doesn't fit into the same genre as those that may surround it on the store shelves. You may be expecting yet another uninspired kids show but this is anything but. The movie goes from lighthearted to surreal to dark and then back again.
Although not everyone will like it, everyone will stop to watch it.
Rating: - Great Childhood Memory!
I am 30 years old and remember seeing this movie when I was 5 years old (to all you parents who are disturbed by some of the scenes - I turned out alright, even have my own company - I think children have a lot thicker skin than given credit) and loved it then, still love it now. I have yet to see an animated movie (cell, CGI, or clay) that comes close to the quality of this one. The expressions of the characters are amazing. Very entertaining!
