3 . The Adventures Of Mark Twain
Mark Twain was always something of a Devil's advocate. so making a children's movie about Mark Twain is a strange choice in itself. The movie, having already derided Adam and Eve quite comically, goes one further by adapting and inserting an extract from part of Mark Twain's unfinished work about the Devil: The Chronicles of Young Satan. Telling this story through the medium of Claymation adds to the disturbing quality of this scene but also accentuates the haunting allure already given to Satan by the multi-layered vocal performance. "Life itself is only a vision. A dream. Nothing exists, save empty space and you. And you... are but a thought." Sesame Street, this is not.
