Custom image of The Adventures of Mark Twain (1985)
The Big Picture Why is it that so many children’s movies have scenes of utter terror dropped right in the middle of them? You’re watching Pinocchio and the kids start transforming into donkeys against their will, or you’re having fun with Pee Wee’s Big Adventure and suddenly the Large Marge scene starts, and your dreams are forever haunted by her nightmarish face.
Release Date March 1, 1985 Director Will Vinton Cast James Whitmore , Michele Mariana , Gary Krug , Chris Ritchie , John Morrison , Carol Edelman , Dal McKennon , Herb Smith Runtime 86 Minutes Writers Susan Shadburne , Mark Twain ‘The Adventures of Mark Twain’ Has a Surprisingly Morbid Plot The Adventures of Mark Twain was marketed as a fun fantasy adventure appropriate for the whole family.
An interesting piece of history, but it has unsettling implications for the plot of The Adventures of Mark Twain, which Finn and Tom Sawyer quickly realize themselves. As Mark Twain is already an old man in the film, “meeting up” with Haley’s Comet means he’s coming to the end of his life. In short, the entire plot of this ostensibly family-friendly film is kicked off by Mark Twain wishing to complete a journey to his own death.
The figure of the Mysterious Stranger forms out of the earth of the small planet where the children find themselves after stepping through Mark Twain’s contraption. The Stranger’s body is covered in red armor, but he has no head. Instead, he holds up a white mask to represent his face; the mask is ever-changing as the Mysterious Stranger speaks to the children in a strange, multi-layered voice.
