They don’t make ’em like this anymore! Check out the above animation following in the footsteps of The Dark Crystal and Fred Penner’s A Promise is a Promise by not being afraid to scare children. I don’t agree with the religious motivations behind it, but I like it when things made for kids aren’t sugar-coated.
Via ALL IS FALSE.
Here is the source of the clip.

Also, since Twain is known for social commentary, and satire–I doubt that the religious implications of the piece are really that great.
That clip is from “The Adventures of Mark Twain,” a really strange kids movie from 1986. I saw it in the theater. It was released to coincide with the return of Hailey’s Comet; Twain was born in 1835, a HC year, and planned to (and indeed did, according to Wikipedia) die upon its 1910 return.
