I saw the stopmotion version too. IIRC Claus' "mom" was a fairy or somesuch, and the one who kept begging for the Cloak of Immortality.
I also remember thinking even back then, sheesh, what dicks, you'd think they wouldn't have waited for him to become as decrepit as humanly possible before making him live forever...
ETA: And it's not like he stayed decrepit forever. I distinctly remember him claiming that he felt strong enough to wrestle something (a bear?) after becoming immortal.
Nah, he doesn't say any such thing. Granted, they don't show him AGAIN limping around the tree, but he pretty much just stands there saying "thanks for the mantle dude".

(I'd point you to the edited version in YouTube, but you'd miss all the glorious crappy commercials)

Here it is, but I can't find an English version.
