Cartoon Mormonism

Here's a video that's been making the rounds of the Internet via GodTube.

It's an animated short that purports to explain some of the more distinctive doctrines of Mormonism. From its style, it appears to have been made sometime in the mid to late 1970s; but of course it's gained new currency with the presidential candidacy of Mitt Romney.

The video is unsympathetic, to put it mildly. It would be interesting to know to what extent and in what respects Mormons find that it distorts their beliefs. Perhaps the LDS church has made a cartoon rebuttal?
