| 1 | * AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Satan doesn't represent Satan. He's the god from the Garden of Eden story as viewed by his peers rather than from the point of view of those he created. Explored by WebVideo/DiamandaHagan [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0HKpmq45JE&t=20s here]]. |
| 2 | * AnimationAgeGhetto: It's sometimes thought of as a "kid's movie" by virtue of being animated, but when you consider that it's essentially about a man's ''death wish...'' |
| 3 | * CultClassic: The film had a limited release during its initial run and didn't make much money. Nowadays, the film has attracted a small, but dedicated, cult following among Mark Twain enthusiasts and animation fans alike. |
| 4 | * JustHereForGodzilla: Alot of people are directed towards the film due to hearing that the "Mysterious Stranger" scene is a "banned cartoon" although most of the time, people put it out of context as to what it actually is. |
| 5 | * RetroactiveRecognition: Creator/CraigBartlett worked here as an artist and had a minor voice role before creating ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' eleven years later. |
| 6 | * SignatureScene: The segment adapting ''Literature/TheMysteriousStranger'' is one of the most well-known parts of the movie, due to how creepy it is. |
| 7 | * TearJerker: |
| 8 | ** The end of the final Adam and Eve segment. "Wherever she was, there was Eden." |
| 9 | ** "I am tired... and old. I wish I were with my Livy..." |
| 10 | * UnintentionalUncannyValley: Cartoon realism does ''not'' work well with claymation puppets. |
| 11 | * WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: The film is a G-Rated claymation romp from the creator of Domino's Noid and the California Raisins, about Mark Twain chasing Haley's Comet in a custom-built dirigible as Tom, Huck, and Becky tag along for the ride. Oh yeah, and the entire reason for Twain chasing Haley's Comet in the first place is because he "came in with the comet and intends to go out with it". In other words, the entire movie is one big metaphor for Twain's death wish, which only becomes more obvious as the movie progresses. |
