Elysian Shadows

Dude that is fucking weird!

I 1iked it, but I wou1d have fucking shit my drawers if I saw it when I was a kid.

I have decided to do a little research on that little cartoon. To my amazement that thing dates back as far as the 1800's. A famous author who went by the name of Mark Twain wanted to write a philosophical book after the death of his beloved daughter. (forgot her name) Anyways, despite how many times he got near the point of completion he always ends up quitting and rewriting another story following the same principles. Every time he rewrote the novel it always revolved around an ominous figure who goes by the name of Satan. (not Satan as in the devil) Satan was always seen as a figure who doesn't make a distinguished view of good or evil. He always saw everything as an insignificant figment of one's wild imagination and gets off on toying with nature. Very much in comparison with a kid holding a magnifying glass over an ant hill.

That was a piece of a kid's movie called, "The Adventures of Mark Twain". Based off of the latest version of Mark Twain's novel "The Mysterious Stranger". That was the last part of the clay-mationed movie. That last part was edited out of the movie since everyone thought that it would be too disturbing to the audience.

Here is a link to the full-length movie "The Adventures of Mark Twain".

lol! It sure is convenient how I am talking about this video with Satan and this JUST SO HAPPENS to be my 666'th post.

Whoa.. that is one messed up toon.

My fav movie... NOT!!!

I didn't even watch the whole thing.. Just weird... My brother was like "You aren't going to watch that?" I was all why would I, he was all "Cause it's cool"??? What the crap is wrong with that child!!!???

I like it...

The only thing I thought was funny was how the kids didn't like that he killed the clay people. He created them he can destroy them if he like I don't blame him those things were annoying...

I saw this a long time ago. While it's probably not suitable for kids, it's definitely cool. I like how satan's portrayed as a kind of omnipotent, but amoral. The whole morphing mask for a head is a nice touch, too.

Man! Mark Twain was one creative son of a bitch if he included that mask morphing in with his novel.

Oh I've seen this under a different name, but I liked it actually. Its creepy as heck, gotta love it.

When I first read the name of link, I thought you were pointing to the Demented Cartoon Movie, but the comments didn't add up.

The comments made me think of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSb-nV8l2QY (Rejected)

Lol, that's great! I'd watch it all if I wasn't watching House. I vaguely remember this, it came to my mind as well when looking at this topic.
