“Earth.” Just say “Earth.”
The question “Is it a planet?” really should’ve clued him in.
I think they would've wanted the name of the planet. So Tellus would've been it?
He was old...the writer I mean.
He's from a time period when there wasn't really a sense of galactic scale
The heck happened every time I see a the reply are turning into this into atomic trainreak
@Amon Ra Lol you need psych meds buddy
“A man’s gotta be in his own heaven to be happy.”
I don’t know why, but that quote just hits hard to me.
It's a pretty good outlook on life: find what makes you happy, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone.
"I might...no...I most assuredly am going to heaven."
"Ah, an optimist!"
Same here almost everyone in my family is going to be going to heaven after the amount of dogs we've rescued/saved from bad situations as well as from.people who didn't deserve to even have animals in the first place as well as how well we treat our dogs and such they get more than enough food/as much food as they want..in other words their free fed no set feeding time..they go eat breakfast when their hungry luch same when their hungry dinner as well when hungry so if that dosen't get us in to heaven I don't know what will besides the fact I'm always sticking up for those who are picked on/can't stand up for themselves but I have had pre-marital sex before but then again who hasn't is my question are the only things I could see barring me from heaven ..etc 🤔🤷♂️🤦♂️🤨if none of that gets me in to heaven I don't know what will 🤔🤷♂️🤦♂️🤨..!!??
"I'm most assuredly am going to heaven!"
"Ah..an optimist. Haha"
"a man's gotta be in his own heaven to be happy"... Meaning, one man's heaven is another man's hell, and paradise is a figment of your perspective. I'm not religious but that metaphor just blows my mind, like a sudden revelation to me. It has nothing to do with religion, just humans learning to understand and respect the difference of opinions of different people. Their creed, culture, politics, and lifestyles. Black, gay, Catholic, Muslim, meat eater or vegetarian. Nobody will be happy in one man's fever dream; what's to say anyone would be happy in yours?
Bro blacks not a religion
@@rolandsosah Neither is being gay or being a meat eater.
I think you missed the point.
i remember when i came out as black
buckbumble187 i remember when I converted to Michael jacksonism
@@rolandsosah the point was humans respecting their differences in general, not religion specifically. I included race because for a very long time in human history, many civilisations have concluded that only their superior race will be welcome in their afterlife. That's also the point of that part of the movie, with a human entering a weird alien orgy-disco. The metaphor is less about actually entering paradise, and more of a moral story of humans segregating and isolating themselves based on belief and dogma. You must be content in your existence to be happy, but to live in one man's reality radically different from your own by force is what keeps this from being a perfect world. It can also be a cautionary tale for the ignorant, who; like the captain; believe the world to revolve around themselves and their beliefs. To be born in a certain place or live a certain way as to be superior to all else.
I love claymation, and I think Mark Twain would love how well it's used here for his stories.
Especially with the mysterious stranger and the damned human race
"Either way you gotta die to get there."
I freaking love this dude!😂😂😂
Kinda shows how we each have different perspectives on paradise.
1:45 what’s funny is if they didn’t interrupt him he probably was going to say “why America is one of the finest countries on Earth!” Which would’ve answered their question.
"Heaven for climate, Hell for company"
@Joshua Heap And people who eat ice cream or sell goods on sundays, marry a widow, sleep in the same house as a woman who isn't married. This is why you'd have to have a whole separate guest house or barn for guests to stay in, etc. There are lots of sins that were hell worthy back in the day that are now not even thought of.
@Joshua Heap Matthew, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Pretty much whatever church you belonged to could make their own rules which would be upheld in heaven. It was the end of a long era of the fire and brimstone teachings being the norm of american churches. The teachings back then were that you are more likely than not going to hell unless you spend every moment of your life in devotion to the lord, and reject all earthly pleasures for the everlasting ones that you would be rewarded with in heaven. The idea was that if you're doing something enjoyable now then you're depriving yourself of the enjoyment that could have brought you in death, and are a sinner for not having the will to wait. Other acts were just viewed as sinful because working on a sunday was being viewed as being spiteful towards the lord as he rested on sunday. So rather than a suggestion of take a day of the idiots took it as you can't work on sunday or you'll go to hell. Some blue laws even exist today from those.
@Amon Ra They aren't meaning that there are more people in hell. It's the same as the song only the good die young where they say, "Id rather hang out with sinners than cry with the saints, the sinners are much more fun". The point being made is that if you are a good enough person to get into heaven then you're most likely as boring as plain toast. This though does work on the cartoon idea of heaven where you actually keep any remnants of your personality in heaven. A soul is not your mind, body, or memories, it's simply a soul. If it had a physical form it would be comparable to tree stump or toe nail. There is no concept of time, matter, or thought, no pleasure or pain only eternal existence. Really enough horror films have been made like that, but it's funny because if there is an afterlife that is more than likely what it will be like.
Hardcore Hunter Yeah, exactly! That’s also why reincarnation is such a commonly used concept. While the bodies and memories are temporary, the soul is eternal and can be bound to multiple forms throughout time. Your soul is just your perspective. It’s what allows you to experience anything in the first place, and is why you see from “your” eyes as opposed to anyone else’s. It’s a very existential idea that’s always fascinated me, although it’s also kind of hard to explain.
@Joshua Heap That's right! The most interesting people you can find.
"A man's gotta be in his own heaven to be happy." Perfectly stated.
I myself believe I will be in my own heaven after my time has come. As for this video, I enjoyed it. Though I wish the man was more reasonable and understanding, but I guess that is how the movie is written. Overall, great memories and a good show.
K
interesting theory. I would love to be in my own paradise after I pass.
@@miscellaneous_art-rs1ob my heaven would be...an old world, old movie theaters and all around just a 1960s world where I could see all the wonders I missed on earth.
I just want some fucking peace and quiet for once so I can get some decent sleep
I respect how well put this comment was, honestly mark twains concepts really kill my faith in a ''great beyond'' but I suppose one has to be hopeful in his own concepts
"Heaven for climate. Hell for company"
Ah, so Florida
I like that isn't about Heaven being real or not, it just means that not everyone will have the same definition of Heaven
Literally met a government bureaucrat today who sounded IDENTICAL to the alien.
This looks like where Roger from American Dad would go if he died.
But there's no way he's getting into anyone's heaven.
Yeah if anything Roger would fall into hell face first straight onto a spike and not the kind he’d enjoy.
He invented DISCO!
Mark Twain was ahead of his time!
Christopher Cervantes not really.
Maybe our time hasn’t advanced far beyond his scope.
Nah he was really a surface level strawman spewing tool but liberals keep deluding themselve that they have something to say on an hourly basis and it has not changed.
@@Goatisme Explain.
@@therealtruth3012 ACTUALLY, that would be what this animation would have you believe, now wouldn't it. That movie seems to be very superficially biased toward anti-secularism and progressive post modernist opinions of reality based in materialism and the absolutism of the physical world and its existence as the limit of our body's perception can tell.
Its just proven not to be, and most people who aren't super boring and have explored their mind and their surroundings and who have experienced reality for what it is and what it can be would agree that there are more than what our senses tell us, sickly and instinctual things they be, their fickle finickiness and proven habitude to give false reports. They aren't always to be trusted. Our brains and ourselves connect us to something much more in my opinion.
The way this movie present that author is in a way where these things aren't explored and from what I understand, it seems to be just what he was doing, but some people might've hijacked his ideas along the way I guess.
The fact that alien heaven has pizza along with a kickass soundtrack instantly makes it my choice.
Same!
Same!
Eh, I dunno, I only got one problem with it, it's only got one alien species, not multiple different ones.
Not to mention some freaky aliens with boobs
This is legit what it's like being in customer service.
This film is perfection. I think I will watch again.
I S I T A C O N S T E L L A T I O N?
Yes. Im from the amaricea constelstion
When he sees the weird partying his expressions change from "Shocked" to "Interested".
Yours, maybe. Stormfield didn’t stick around.
@@kylestubbs8867 How often do you check this video? I see a response from 1 year ago.
@@YowLife Whenever someone adds to a comment chain that I’ve joined.
Fancy meeting you here.
For a clay movie its pretty good at conveying emotion with expressions
It really does show how much of humanity's assumptions on the indefinable are built around the constraints of our own materialistic world, even though it's most likely much larger and more limitless than we can imagine. Having to face that mirror and accept it would mean having to sacrifice your old beliefs, which some people are clearly not capable of doing - either out of fear or pride. It’s best to keep an open mind.
Amen to that, and I'm an agnostic.
So many cool and unnecessary animation details. 2:48 That yawn wasn't necessary. But they put in the effort to animate it and add sound to it
when i was a kid, i didnt even notice the alien nipples
Alien heaven seems pretty happening
Why do people think this is a children's movie?
It was shown during children's alloted cartoon times as specials, and in schools to educate.
Back then it was broken up into a series and was shown alongside other kid shows , I loved it and I was 5 when it came out
Because its rated G?
'Let's grok'
Cartoon.
It's pretty much a rendition of the movie's end credits song and main theme tune
I think some Christian doesn't get the whole Satan and heaven thing, this is not literally basically, there's so much more in this scene.
one of my favorites from Clemens. Nicely done.
lol wtf a mix of broken up comments/replies from a decade ago and stuff from a couple of hours ago
I think it was Google+ or something that messed up old comment sections like this. The threads broke and all the comments were jumbled around.
Never before have I been confused by a video and the comments trying to explain wtf is happening. All I understood was is that heaven is not the same for everyone
Fawkes.
That’s pretty much it
Grok might be a reference to Robert A. Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land."
It's an old comment, but you know what? I think you might be on to something. We should look into this potential connection more.
This guy names off all the other planets but he can't say "Earth"? lol
Consider the time period he's from. As far as most people were concerned, the world was just the world, like he says. It's not a planet, with a name, in his mind.
After seeing what the Groks haven is like I wonder what there real world and life is like.
Endless violence and repressed feelings
I'd say think of heaven how you want to think of it. As a Pagan I believe you'll always end up in an afterlife with a world you follow and design and with those you hold close, when their time comes eventually.
@@shadedalion5478 fucking neo pagan weirdo
@@onemanarmysswampparty Spout your outdated preconceptions to someone who gives a shit.
I can confirm this happened
This is more disturbing than the one with Satan
Infinite order and stagnation, silence or excommunication.
This one is worse then the demon one.
Alien*
I like the satan carheter
@@snoop05 No, they meant the one with Satan.
For some reason this one made me even more uncomfortable.
I'd rather chill with the mysterious stranger/satan for all eternity than to be in this heaven
I like the sound of the techno music approaching in the background when the gates are closed
I don’t know about most Christians but a harp, hymn book, and a whole lot of time praying and being quiet, I think I’d rather go to hell
fortunately that's not in the Bible, its just a popularized view made up by Hollywood.
@@PheonixRising2988 Most depiction in the bible itself doesn't even seem quite literal though since there alot of methapore used within. So rather than thinking heaven alike what is written, we most likely to read it as a grasp symbolism that is at least understable within our imagery.
The actual Biblical Heaven is pretty crazy, but I wouldn't call it "Boring" exactly. More like cosmic horror.
@@Piledriver86 what makes it crazy?
@@men_del12 Strictly speaking, it's New Jerusalem from Revelations, but it's basically a giant cube made from gold and jewels, it's really weird how specific it gets too, there's detailed measurements and everything. It comes off more like a giant Lament Configuration from Hellraiser than any sort of pleasant afterlife.
4:19 and 4:21 WTF
Someone tell me why this is rated G
rating were much different then than in today's age
@@ConsistenTuber yeah I know I was just making a joke
Christian Miller
Sounded like a genuine question to me
LETS GROK
Sure, why not.
And here I was expecting human heaven to be a rave party like the alien heaven.
I'm guessing the three-headed alien had the same voice actor as Herb from A Claymation Christmas?
“Let’s Grok” might be a reference to Stranger in a Strangeland
Yep
That heaven wasn't SO bad
It's subjective
To us it's not so bad. It looks fun actually. Imagine to someone else a century ago however.
Stormfield's reaction to the alternate heaven is priceless
what is that music in that background is it from some song that funky disco music in the background ?
2:08 I legitimately wanted to hit this alien. Wait your turn buddy, he's trying his best
Is he, though? The word “Earth” would’ve sped things along.
Same, actually.
Stormfield is just a normal dude trying to get where he's going, and they're both kinda antagonizing him to speed him along.
It's a really lovely film, this.
It's a very interesting film. I love the animation. If you like stop motion, I make horror clips
czcams.com/video/tHHwGzaKwFM/video.html
check it out :)
That alien heaven looks way more fun than the human one
The point of the scene is to show you make your own heaven. Captain Stormfield went to Christian heaven, not Human heaven
@@gaiusleviathan8110 That definitely isn’t the Christian heaven.
@@Brandino73 did you not watch until the end?
@@gaiusleviathan8110 I definitely did, and still I standby the point of the fact of saying that isn’t the Christian heaven because of its inaccuracy.
@@Brandino73 exactly, in Heaven people will be rejoicing, the character from this clip wouldn’t be shushed first of all, and instead being ecstatic about being able to make it to the pearly gates with his brothers and sisters in eternal paradise. There are no harps or wings or halos either, people don’t turn into angels.
This extract of a junkie’s nightmare
A harp, psalm book and wings, good god, what a swindle...
This is amazingly sharp for 360p
I feel bad that this is what he has to see in his afterlife
That music in alien gay heaven is pretty catchy
@fantods9
I have read the original. I already have linked to it on the Project Gutenberg site from the description box. The full story is indeed much better than this short clip.
I disagree. I think this clip is much better than the full story (which I find is just as poorly thought out as the beliefs it is criticizing).
... but does it have those three-headed aliens?
This would seem more like HELL TO ME AFTER GOING THROUGH ALL THIS B.S just to get in to "Heaven"
Well guess what when you died you died until the judgement day
Earth is he'll my friend,
I didn't know they have a disco in heaven okay when I die I can have better fun the disco scene was funny
Not sure what the point of eternal paradise is if all it is is indulging in sensual pleasures for eternity, like the slug people's night club heaven. Shouldn't life beyond our material existence transcend the material?
That's the problem with people's idea of Heaven. People have differing tastes throughout their lives, so how could Heaven keep that satisfied for all eternity?
It’s right existence - that’s why
@@mandycote5662 That's nonsensical. You can indulge in the physical pleasures of sex, alcohol, and pizza all you like here in this world. You don't need a spiritual afterlife for that.
@Personal Edgy Internet atheism aside, many religions do not conceive the afterlife as a mere extension of the material world.
@Personal No pizza and grok though?
We're all either a
Pessimistic optimistic or a Optimistic pessimist
I love how Twain pauses and grins as his heaven for climate hell for company line lands.
Kinda knew a crap ton of people likely condemned him to hell like several nutty posters here did like amon ra. That grin was like well screw you all heaven might be nice but hey all the intellectuals, scientists, writers, leaders, and Intelligent people are likely in hell
Can’t believe these kids saw someone they new on a telisccope go to heaven and still aren’t shure if there’s a god or not
If you take this “everyone in heaven gets a harp” thing seriously, that sounds hellish.
By proxy that makes Heaven communist. If everyone gets a halo, harp, and wings. Which...is kinda screwed up that churches teach that lmao
@@shadedalion5478 It’s worse than that: most American churches worship capitalism.
@@shadedalion5478 That simply does not make any sense. Also, makes communism sound like heaven, huh-lo.
@@JoeOvercoat communism is the rule of Everyone is equal. No body is different. Everyone has everything planned out and does the EXACT same thing. What you're probably thinking is a Dictatorship like the Nazi's or Soviets
@@shadedalion5478 by proxy you sound like of a fucking idiot
The last second killed me in one blow
lets grok
Fantastic!
Don't get me wrong, it's brilliant but who is this movie for? It's not for kids. It's much too strange and dense for kids. But it's also not really for adults. Although I liked it when I was a kid and I still do so, maybe it is. I'm just wondering who they thought would watch it when they made it.
some art is made for the benefit of the artist not for the viewer,
This film is for fans of samuel clemens and no one else lmao. I adore it.
It's for kids. Standards have fallen hard and children are infantilized for far longer than they used to be.
It’s to get kids interested in the stories of mark Twain
People were not even close as overprotective over what kids see, hear and does in the past as people are nowadays and there are many things that kids used to experience all the time in the past that people now think is going to ruin their lifes.
I don't even wanna know what hell is like for those aliens!
Probably one of two things.
1: a library with books about golf
2: ... a BDSM club.
Probably what heaven is to us is hell for them
Heaven is a deep part of the Universe.
this guy looks like john bolton
So, what about the man from 800 yrs ago?
What if he just stayed there 😂
Where are all these recent commenters coming from?
The algorithm loves blessing random movie clips/short films from a decade ago.
I’m not gonna lie but I thought this was a robot chicken clip at first I’ve never even seen this movie at all when I was a kid hell I didn’t even find out about it until just my mid 20s. Feel bad for captain Stormfield has no idea what earth is doesn’t probably know earth and not to mention. I’m sure he be having a stroke and found out how San Francisco is right now.
If only human heaven were more line the Grok one... Except the condescending attitude.
Agreed. Dancing, drinking, indulgences... no three-headed Grok-snark.
Life contains the word if. Many view life as an if. Is
Exactly how many heavens are there?
just the two, sorry
One Heaven, our sky, the second Heaven, outer space, third Heaven, the spiritual world
None

👆 Lol 😄
There is some _very_ salacious innuendo when Captain Stormfield reaches the alien heaven. "Let's Grok." _Well OK!!_
"I most assuredly am going to Heaven!"
"Ah, an optimist."
I think the best part that Stormfield is still waist-deep in cloud when he gets to his preferred Heaven.
But honestly, I hate the sneering tone of the alien St. Peters. He just sounds so smug that the temptation to pop him in all three heads must be the final test for dead souls of whatever culture he comes from.
Well Alien St. Peter was being a douche because Stormfield was being difficult of telling of what planet he’s from. And the alien was kinda actually being patient with him and probably was the first time he’s ever dealt with someone like Stormfield which he found amusing after dealing with his own kind all the time. He even welcomed him in even though he knew the possibly of him not enjoying that heaven was pretty high.
FUCKEN EARTH Damn IT
How hard would that have been? I almost jumped out my fckin window listening to that conversation.
What's the song played here 5:18
I wish these aliens would meet Rick Sanchez!
What a swindle ey? Seems like life on Earth too.
Us during 2024
Meanwhile in heaven
Man all the jokes didn't land for me till the end the kid said "Either way you need to die to get there."
4:47
one of the best stoner movies of all time
6:05 remember, this was supposed to be a kid's movie
What, you don’t think the guy holding his mask tipped them off?
how can a Heaven suit all people? well we have earth the suit all people.
the idea the God cannot create something better is stupid and shows the limit of human understanding.
The earth does not suit all, however. Gay is not a choice and yet it is forbidden by the Bible. Reality is based on perspective my dear friend.
Precisely.
The earth would not suit man for the same reason heaven wouldn’t
We ate the apple, we are given enough knowledge to know we are not free but not the power to overcome it
If the Earth suited all we would not have disparity or wars. However we do. Earth suits the hungry and corrupt. I'm not religious, but this is a theme that has existed for all of civilization. Good small men die for big causes they will never see the fruit of.
@@isaiahdaniels5643 the basic Hegelian is that we are all in competition to unify the world in our ideal which in turn have others suppress their longing for unity
In a less abstract example is the first rule of economics is we all work in our perceive self-interest which assume that we are forced to do correct action that would perceive a lower opportunity cost
are these the same guys who did claymation christmas
No, this studio would soon become laika studio, the makers of coraline, paranorman, etc. those were made by Rankin Bass Productions
I hope not.......as they were tons better!!!
If aliens look like that I don’t want it
I think its refreshing to see that someone thought a alien doesnt have to have our body plan. Why should other sentient beings look like us?

Depends on what church it is. There's one near where I live that throws a great chocolate festival.

The blue characters have weird voices and appearances, that’s why it is with me

*TRIGGERED*
I have thought about it. That's why it's such a ridiculous notion. If the only thing keeping you from committing atrocious acts is a belief in a made-up deity, based on an ancient myth anthology, then you're unstable and untrustworthy. Think about it.
we have proven throughout history that even with the diety we can hardly control ourselves. without it we are completely doomed
If the only thing keeping you from commiting evil is fear of jail, then......what do you say? those people are evil and should be killed?
@@jstevo1349 With or without, whether mankind is completely doomed is up to mankind's own actions. Honestly have some faith in morality if nothing else.
