@@Musen2k11 no, it's claymation. Along with Nick Park(Wallace and Gromit), Will Vinton was one of the best claymation animators. CGI in the 80's was very rare.
This film was one of the treasures of my childhood. Once we got cable (a luxury for our family) I would look at the schedule for the Disney Channel and program the VCR to record programs I wanted to see. Disney would only play this film twice a year two days apart in the middle of the night. My VHS copy of this film was watched over and over. One day I came home from college and flipped on the TV to see it playing. My jaw dropped as I saw the Mysterious Stranger section. Disney had (wisely) decided to edit that particularly disturbing scene out. Orion pictures had acquired Clubhouse Pictures (the original production company) shortly before going bankrupt. Consequently, the film was 'lost' for decades. The only way I could get my hands on a full copy was a Laserdisc version. Now that it is available for all I am so grateful to be able to share it with all of my friends. Incidentally, I ended up studying acting and played Huck Finn. Now I do voiceovers and credit some of that to this film influencing me. Last October I got to do my first animated series. 😁
My story almost to a T. Except for the part where you didn't do fuck all with your life because of some fucking fuck and instead got to chase and fulfill your dreams. Fuck me.
I think it is sad when one realizes how much work, time and ACTUAL skill went into this production and how much when viewed today it may go largely misunderstood or overlooked. I remember this one as a young teen. I first saw it zoning on Black Lebanese hash. My mouth was hanging open. Lol.
You're putting. The production on a pedestal. In today's terms yes this is a a marvel. But back then this was just another animated movie made for tv. One of my favorites and I agree it should be better known.
Actually if you think about it clay animation is probably a lot easier than regular animation because you have clay models that you just can move slightly for different scenes whereas with regular animation you have to draw a brand-new drawing for every freakin frame
Lol I love everyone interpretation to this movie. To me I felt like it was trying to show ignorance is in reality bliss and that sin came from seeking knowledge Adam would’ve been better without her but he would never take it back because of love.
I’ve been into stop motion for quite some time and I had never heard of this movie. I can’t believe I hadn’t. This is a really terrific and prolific film. It should get more recognition!
I saw this as a li'l kid in the early 90s with my dad and it swiftly became my favorite movie. Every time I watch it, I'm at a new point in life. And each time I draw more insight and meaning. It just improves as I age. :)
Yaaaaah but do you really think that's a good description of what faith is? I'm not so sure. Faith believes in things it thinks ARE so but knows they cant be PROVEN to another. Beleiving something you know isn't so is not faith. Thats denial. The persons awareness that they know something isn't so can not support a faith mentality. Doesnt make sense theoretically. I'm not commenting as a man of great faith but as one seeking to define and understand terms.
I think he’s being ironic. I think he’s saying that one has faith against the impenetrable ‘facts’ stated by the renowned doubt that must accompany faith in order to define it and which has existed as long as faith itself has
This was such a brilliant and beautiful film with a clever concept. Will Vinton's true magnum opus. Three fictional characters going on one last journey with their creator and writer. Who in turn insures the longevity. "My books are like water; those of the great geniuses are wine. Fortunately everybody drinks water"
Satans scene was absolutely wild and beautifully done. Gave me the chills and I'm a bit afraid to sleep now. That all aside, stopmotion/claymation is the superior artform known to man. Millions of frames plus moving each piece in a VERY specific way for what could take years is amazing.
This is entertaining real well done I can't sleep it's 3:45 a.m. I hope this help my mind to dwell on something besides the problems of a 70-year-old man.
As much as this film has always fascinated me since I was a kid, I always felt like something was missing from it. Then I read Twain’s absolutely brilliant biography of Joan d’ Arc, and I thought back to this film, “That’s IT! She SHOULD have been there!”, what’s more, she SHOULD have appeared to do combat with Satan! And I’m not just saying that because Roman Catholics believe she is a Saint, I say it because of the extraordinary fact that he wrote her biography AND the “Mysterious Stranger” roughly during the same six months! He was at war within himself for his soul, and these two books represent That struggle. But few know that he wrote the biography because Clemens went out of his way to hide the fact behind TWO completely different pseudonyms. He created two fictional identities to filter her otherwise factual story through, one being a fictional contemporary French Historian who supposedly discovered the “account” by Joan’s “friend”, and the fictional Friend himself. He took all the actual facts from her various real friends and relatives and the trial, then cut them together into one narrative as though they had nearly all been observed by just one man, a fictional character who was a composite of several real friends who managed to not miss any of the important events. Twain, fluent in French and Latin, actually got permission from Pope Leo 13th himself to peruse the Vatican archives for the complete records. After getting an agreement from the Pope to keep his presence a secret, He then had a French publisher publish it for him in both English and French, to help sell the idea that it had been compiled by a French historian. It worked and it wasn’t until years after his death that anyone figured it out, and even now remains uncommon knowledge. Too bad the filmmakers also apparently didn’t know or know just how important Joan was to Clemens. Here is her biography th-cam.com/video/x_o6ih3ur0s/w-d-xo.html
This is fascinating! Thank you for writing this all. How did you learn so much about the biography's background? If a book or movie elaborates on this subject, I'd love to check it out. And what did you mean by "he was at war within himself for his soul?"
Actually, Joan is carved into the front of Twain’s airship and her sword makes the pointy part of it, though it can be hard to see, so in a way she is acknowledged in the movie.

I just love the old claymation movies. An art form almost forgotten because of the boring CGI animation movies they make today. I didn't know about this one. Thanks for the upload. 🙂
Laika Studios tried their best to revive stop-motion & claymation. They made some amazing movies like Coraline and Kubo. The audiences just didn't show up. Aardman animation too.
smoothest claymation i've ever seen (and it's not even a close competition), and filled with so many subtle details like old adam resembling twain or huck choosing the darkest color of mud to make his little people out of, not to mention just how awesome the ending is awesome
This is so beautiful, such a profound work of art.... it reflects life and death, whats happen after we die and whats the concept of god and evil... I wish this have more reconginition
I Saw it first on what was called 'Pay T.V.' more than 35 yrs ago. Maaaan, when you say it like that. Thats the thing about the blessing of a good memory. It sometimes makes you forget how many years have passed. Especially now as something truly free and beautiful is dying in the West. Thank You for posting this. A lost craft of yesteryear. The keyboard excuses for what is passing for skill these days gives one pause.
i remember watching this as a kid back in school and still freaks me out at the mysterious stranger, like a residual horror i recall every once in a while
It's pretty good. I just watched it for the first time. I can't assist in childhood trauma, but I think it holds up surprisingly well. I can't tell if the Adam and Eve bit is sexist or not, but it resolves in sweet/sad way. The whole movie is really a metaphor for coming to terms with one's own death.
@@hughchester I think the Adam and Eve bit, which comes from Twain's work is meant to critique the ludicrous hypothesis that gender roles are timeless/meaningful (more that they are an invention of religion or authority) while simultaneously showing that love can still emerge.

An underrated classic. Had a lot of fun watching this after reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Easily missed jokes if you haven't read any of his books.
Extremely sad to think that today the youngins may not understand or respect this amazing piece of literature. I remember the first time I saw it my dog had Diarrhoea and was vomiting all over the house. The only thing that pulled me through that day was the beautiful clay motion in this film

I remember this movie years ago and I was excited to see it again. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to watch it because the audio seemed to be missing. I turned the volume up all the way and nothing.
I always thought that the armor that Satan has on in this flick is where they got the inspiration for the knights armor that Dracula wears in Gary oldmans interpretation of bram stokers Dracula …
I still traumatized by the scene of that evil mask... Used to be aired on tv circa late 80 in Malaysia. Remember my dad recorded this movie via vhs... but just a short until 1h or so as the cassette ran out of tape
I think Claymation is better when it comes to animated films than the stop motion puppets, but puppets work better for live action films like Clash of the titans. Either way this is pretty cool.
The twist with Mark Twain’s dark side was good and helped explain a lot of parts of the film.
humanity has both good side and dark side.one has only to see history is full of conflict and death perpetuated by humans themselves. to the mysterious stranger, he sees no value in humanity because of this.

It is terrifying, it's literally about Satan
😂 childhood..... 😂. Sorry it scared u, I'm laughing at the fever dream part

Best facial work in clay I've ever seen.
There are video games developers working today that could learn SO much from this film.

Satan was a fantastic character to include, showing many great theories about humanity. Very much a classic, and very much a work of art.
His point or view about humanity wasn’t wrong also the greedy, narcissistic and egoistic are the actual and have been over centuries on the humans
Satan/the moon is a neat character.
Of course
The Accuser how ironic that he looks down at humans. But forgets it is responsible for Human downfall
@@PallideMeam The Enemy bears some responsibility, but do we not also?
I am legitimate crying right now. This is the best film I’ve ever seen.

If you are here, have not been forgotten.
This is such an odd film I went down a rabbit hole and somehow ended up here lol
Whoever uploaded this, thanks so much. I've never seen it all the way through!
The Mysterious Stranger scene is where I've gone over and over when I am at my darkest. I'm 55 yrs old, saw this gem when it hit the air
“Where she was, there was Eden.” Best epigram/epitaph ever.

The story with the frogs is the funniest one
I watched this as a kid in the 80s brings back memories
I'm like...90% certain this film, especially the Garden of Eden, helped inspire the clay-animated video game "The Neverhood Chronicles"

10/10, thank you Retrospective - Classic Movies.
“There is nothing comparable to the endurance of a woman.” - Mark Twain

In the mid 90s they would show this on showtime at 1 am on the weekends
Ofc it was 1am
Whose leg did they have to hump to get a time slot like that?
EXCELLENT THANK U!
Great film. Had this as a kid had this vhs. Thanks for uploading it. Subbed.
For enthusiasts of claymation, I would suggest viewing Mad God. It’s not for the faint of heart however.
