Like Peter Reiher, I saw this film last year at LA's FILMEX
(and at a different screening, too).  The audience was mosty
adult, loved the film, cheered Will Vinton, asked intelligent
questions, the most common of which was "will this film be
released commercially so we can take our friends?", etc., etc.

Unless this film has been seriously edited since then (which
is possible: it's being released as part of a "take-the-kids"
series and there were parts of the original that were pretty
scary for kids), I can't agree more with Peter that this is
a very special film, one which anyone interested in Twain,
animation, Halley's comet, laughter, early aviation :-),
life, death, the universe, and jumping amphibians should go
see before it disappears.
