Before you believe in anything, always look for the beLIEve within.
I remember seeing this Claymation series a very long time ago... late 80's I suspect. I don't remember this section, what a surreal look at "Satan" playing a "God" role. Makes you stop and really think. I wish more children were'nt so "sanitized" there's nothing in that but a brain bender, spooky yes, but more in a thought provking way. Thanks for the post!
The claymation scene with Satan is in The Adventures of Mark Twain (also known as Comet Quest) (1985) . The Satan this movie protrays is non immoral but amoral. After wiping out the little living beings he has created Satan states "I can do no wrong, for I do not know what it is." Then Satan states that "People are of no value. We can make more if we need them." as his face turns into a skull. IMHO this is far more frightening than the idea of an immoral tempter because it is very close to the amoral attitudes of the Bilical God.
lol yes the mormons

I'm pretty sure this is about the devil's coffee table, but it would help if I understood russian.

Doing a little research on this I have found out there are supposedly five versions of this story: three actually written by Twain and two posthumously edits by Albert Bigelow Paine (1916) and University of California (1982).
The three main versions Twain actually wrote are called 'Chronicle of Young Satan' (set in 1590 Austria, abandoned in mid scene), 'Schoolhouse Hill'/Hannibal (set in Hannibal with Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer as Satan's (now called No. 44) companions, also incomplete), and 'No. 44, The Mysterious Stranger'/Print Shop (set in 1490 Austria and the only version to actually have an ending). The TV version seems to use the last version while the story most people are familar with comes more from Paine than from Twain.
