Mysterious Stranger

I found this curious claymation cartoon that was created for children which ended up supposedly being banned in the U.S. Based on the Mark Twain’s Mysterious Stranger short story, the cartoon is reportedly a sketch in the “The Adventures of Mark Twain” movie released in 1985.

The same animation house that made the famous california raisins commericals in the 80s did the stop motion animation for this film. Take a look, its an oddly creepy but very well executed piece.
