	Movies - The Adventures of Mark Twain

The Adventures of Mark Twain is a 1985 claymation film directed by Will Vinton (best known for "The California Raisins" animation). After many years in television syndication, it was released on DVD in January 2006. The film is a mixture and extract of several of Twain's works, built around the "appointment" that Twain has with Halley's Comet based on a famous quote by the author:

I came in on Halley's Comet, and I must go out with it. The Almighty surely said that these two freaks of nature came into the world together, and they must go out together.

Included are sketches taken from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Mysterious Stranger, The Damned Human Race, Injun Joe (briefly), The Diary of Adam and Eve (Letters from the Earth), Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven and a rendering of Twain's first story, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County.

Disambiguation: There is also a biographical film of Mark Twain of the same name that came out in 1944..
