Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Eric Stevenson Why isn't "Adventures Of Title" a trope yet? Seriously, I see that title everywhere. This was a good movie for me, but it wasn't that good. It's mostly because I wish they would have had more Mark Twain stories that we're familiar with. Then again, it was kind of nice to learn about ones I was not familiar with. The stop motion effects are the highlight.I remember seeing the part with Satan the angel on the Internet years ago. That's easily the best part of the movie. This film tells the story of how Huckleberry Finn, Tom Swayer, and Becky Thatcher stumbled onto Mark Twain's airship. Mark Twain was a critic of religion, but the stories here didn't seem anti-religious. The Adam and Eve one was more funny than anything else. It has some interesting morals to it too.

ZorinAlvien This film was one of my favourites as a child, and has remained so for many and various reasons. The Claymation in the film is second-to-none, with objects and characters continually reshaping themselves in a most psychedelic fashion. The story is fantastic, and weaves together several of Mark Twain's lesser known tales using a fantastically depicted frame story of his most famous characters (Huck Finn, Tom Sawyer, and Becky Thatcher) stowing away on Twain's balloon in which he intends to meet Halley's comet, there in the year of his birth and the year of his death. (Quote: "There go those two unaccountable freaks, they came in together and they must go out together") This movie is not just visually superb, it brings its viewer through the story with all the emotions that a great movie should bring to its viewer. From joy in the touching antics of 'Our Ancestor Adam' from the 'Diary of Adam and Eve' section through some brilliantly evocative quotes spoken by the fantastically animated 'Twain' to the eerie and fearful intensity that comes when the central characters meet 'An Angel', this movie has true and unconventional value.I would recommend this to everyone, but as I'd like it to remain one of cinema's rare hidden gems, don't watch it unless you're ready to be amazed...

Vastarien202 I saw this when I was small at my grandmother's house. I saw it only once more, years later somewhere on TV. I had never loved a claymation film more until Tim Burton's NBC. I was lucky enough to find it on DVD, and promptly rented and watched it last night. I fell in love all over again. Tim could learn much from this gem. The facial expressions are spot-on, almost photographic, the story is great, and the sly humour is wonderfully refreshing. This is such a huge labor of love,for the art itself and for the man that inspired it,leagues away from anything animation has been for the past 15 years or so. I loved it because it never talked down to me as a kid, and wasn't afraid to show me that innocence can be terrifying. "I can do no wrong, for I do not know what it is" is the most chilling line I have ever heard spoken in any film. Rent this or buy it as soon as you can, you won't be sorry.

shortnsweet01489 Where do I begin to explain the splendid majesty of this highly acclaimed film? It is...enlightening, educating, and most of all...inspiring. It jolts the imagination to confusion, it swirls the mind around the idea of Mark Twain in a submarine in the sky, it makes you wish that you too could be made of clay and have adventures in the sky.The most inspiring character is Becky "Angelfish". Her role is small, but she plays it with awe-ing acting and her beauty is undescribably off the charts. Her braids swishing in the wind of the air, her squeaky voice shouting at her Tom, and her obvious statements are so charming that you wish that she was real.Tom and Huck also play amazing characters in this film, but the real actor in this...is Homer, Huck's frog. Homer's part has action, adventure and lines that only the wisest can truly fathom. The sequence where Homer (spoiler warning) is dangling off the edge of the balloon during the storm is dramatic, well-played and excellently managed. Mark Twain saves him and Homer is happily reunited with his pal, Huck.Huck's character is mature while you may want to beat Tom's character with a stick for his ignorance. Twain is the star, but his acting cannot compare with that of Becky's and Homer's.The animation is superb, the quotes are well placed and the story is imaginative and dark, comical, and unique. I suggest that you go out to the store and fling yourself at the first copy for it shall change your life as you know it. Please do not wait for this opportunity may pass you by. As Mark Twain once said (and says in this movie): "Naked people have little or no influence on society." -- Mark Twain
