  • @ALIEN1996ful "One Million Years BC" and "Valley Of Gwangi"

  • 2:41

    Jurassic park moment!

  • No tempo em que cinema era cinema . É uma pena esta época ter acabado e sendo substituida pelos efeitos de computação excessivos em que nós sabemos como será pois são sempre muito parecidos . Adoro stop motion afinal é da minha época .

  • Even today I admire the work of Ray Harryhausen, he brought the fantasy to the movies at that time, bringing a lot of fun and magic at all. Thank you Ray

  • I love Harryhausen. He was a genius.

  • why do these all seem more real than the CGI garbage we get in movies today?

  • @mnap128 Because stop motion is with real objects and not polygons. 

  • @mnap128 because there is actully something in front of the camera

  • Bravo, Ray Harryhausen! It's clear to see that Ray's faves were dinos and flying creatures.

  • What movie is at 3:48

  • @FatPatStudios Sinbad And The Eye Of The Tiger

  • Awesome Harry Hausen my stopmotion hero

    bernie

  • totally agree. cg is cool,but i think it,s over rated . i,am a huge fan of latex effects and rubber foam as well as stop motion. hollywood should go back to this era of film making.

  • amazing !!!!!!!!!!!

  • Dynamation rules!

  • i fuckin hate cgi, looks soo fake, they should go back to stop motion, puppets and animatronics.

  • @AzraelX661 I think the last were going to see of anything close to this is gonna be Yoda in star wars,just came back from some other vid and apparently kids nowadays find this"gay"!@#$ that im showing all this to my kids and having them learn to appreciate classic movie making and what people were capable of back in the day

  • big fan of his work,it was good shit,compared to the today the monsters look alittle too real andthey lack charactor,his creatures were the best

  • Isto é um tesouro...obrigado pelas lembranças!

  • @carycomic1 Thanks!

  • What movie was scene 0:14 from?

  • where's mineton?

  • I'm Painfully so worried about ray... Thumb's up if your get it :D

  • Ray was yet ONE MORE of my heroes and MIGHTY JOE YOUNG was FANTASTIC - sculped better than KONG!! I'll NEVER forget 7th VOYAGE. It just BLEW me AWAY on the BIG SCREEN. I must add that DISNEY's REDO of MIGHTY JOE was INCREDIBLE....as was the latest KONG extravaganzic epic!!!

  • Way back in the old years they did'nt have CGI back then it was allways Go Motion

    and i still watch them and thier fantastic and Ray Harryhausen is the Man:)

  • All SFX are just one of picture story show, but his cray animation is real. Monsters have real volume.

  • the undisputed king of stop-motion animation.

  • A true legendary icon of stop motion special effects! Thank you Mr Ray Harryhausen for ALL your classic movies! Great memories.

  • I just received the book an hour ago, "From The Land Beyond Beyond", Films of Willis O"Brien & Ray Harryhausen I won on an Ebay Auction. Awsum!

    So I thought I'd Watch a tribute to their work b4 jumping into it.

    This was Perfect...Thanks!

  • @TheRattyrattyrat Combination of yo Mama & yo Grandma.

  • What's the name of this music?

  • I love the wonderful special effects of Ray Harryhausen. Unlike the boring, soul - less and repetitive computer generated crap of today, this man's creations represent REAL skill, REAL craftsmanship and - most importantly - REAL imagination ! Sir you are greatly missed !

  • @TheRattyrattyrat Bwahahahahaha!!!

  • can someone give me the names of all titles? especially the early ones i know clash, simbad and jason. i swear ill buy you a beer!

  • what movie is the giant bird from? I cant remeber.

  • Cryptozoology novel see video book trailer

  • I still remember going to see Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger & Clash of the Titans on first release at the cinema many years ago.I love Harryhausen's films, so many cool monsters.

  • Great Tribute to the Master of StopMo! 

  • nvm i got it mighty joe young

  • The first movie that was on this video... what was it? Plz help im trying to add it on netflix

  • Esto si que era cine del bueno y no lo de ahora.

  • Falamos a língua que quisermos! E viva o stop motion!

  • @oluham modern CGi fast pasted not stop motion care-less and all technology............... all the things ray harryhausen is not : ray harryhausen stop motion ENERTAINING ...... soooo yeah it wolud be like ray harryhausen or CGi not both not a good match e.g the allosarus in valley of gwangi it would look like a t-rex from jurassic park...

  • Comment removed

  • Imagine his work COMBINED wiyh cgi. hmmmmmmmmm............

  • Bond music!!!

  • ray harryhausen es un idolo y un maestro del cine fantastico

  • First saw RHs effects in a movie called "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad" on tv as a little kid...MAN, I was hooked!

    Todays cgi effects...Don't do it for me, might tickle some of your others feathers but not mine

  • Sigo pensando que estos monstruos son reales y no stop motion, alguien sabe cuales el nombre de la pelicula del min 0:48, la bestia se ve algo abominable

  • @StEnDhAlDiMaria77 english plz

  • @icjburke google translator plz

  • @zate1982 well what language is it?

  • @icjburke Spanish. Wasn't my intention to be rude. Movies are a common interest regardless our origins or languaje. So, if anybody knows the answer for the question made, and know spanish as well, should ask that. If him or her doesn't speak other languaje besides english, well, just don't ask; but i think writing "plz" does not help anyone to understand what you ask for. It is confusing unless you know that "plz" means "please".

  • @zate1982 sorry about that but they used a time like 3:41 or u know i wanted to see what it ment

  • amanda plz

  • Granted... we all like the stop motion over CGI. But what you must keep in mind is, Ray (and his mentor willis Obrien & contemporary J Danforth) were the best in their field! Other shops at the time cranked out cheapo drek... but it was all highly forgetable! The key is to love what you do & not just 'churn it out'! Mabey (just mabey) some day the studios will remember this!

    Happy Halloween!

  • yeah cgi is nothing compared to real puppets being animated. the same with other models - Id rather see a crappy plastic model starship than a slick cgi version any day. I like to see hands made craftsmanship in my movies. not computer glyphs.

    agreed Ray was an expert with the look and 'tude of reptiles - allosaur and beast are 2 of my favorites. what a genius. who could follow that act?

  • CGI doesn't equal up to Stop Motion! half of these monsters look almost real!

  • I have every single one of his classics on DVD; have been a long-time admirer of Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion work! His creatures were so incredible..one of my absolute favorites is the ' ymir ' from "20 Million Miles to Earth"! He knew how to capture the sinister, reptilian look for his scaled beasties! "Gwangi" and the allosaurus from "One Million Years B.C." were also memorable! My favorite Harryhausen films overall? "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad" and "Jason and the Argonauts."

  • WE DONT CALL THEM MONSTERS !!

  • great movies watched at a time of wonder as a child, brilliant and a good foundation for todays c.g.i

  • they should make movies look like this once again... it's so much cooler than cg...

  • 3:52 ape like creature

  • The Beast form 20,000 fathoms is by far his greatest creation.,

  • @BleachFan9891 I have to agree with you. I love Beast!

  • This video is ACE! I didn't realise how many stop motion films there are.

  • what movie is the the giant crab from?

  • @eggs2112 That would be Mysterious Island.

  • Look how Weta in New Zealand, for instance, creates the most stunning and lifelike sculptures. If they could use the same principles in building puppets for stop animation, we'd have a product so photoreal it would make people LAUGH at AVATAR.

  • With all our sophisticated computer technology for seamless composition and cutting work in films today, as well as the knowledge and technology to fix anything, even movements, and get up close amd personal with our subjects in stunning detail, I feel very strongly that stop animation should be given another chance as a special effects technique.

  • so much more rwalistic than animation today, the erratic movements of the creatures are so lifelike, and so much more scarier

  • Why does the music sound like it's being played out of a tin can?

  • Those are great movies

    you know any of the names, I'd like to look some of them up

  • The valley of Gwangi is my favourite film :)

  • man was a genius.

  • if only Phil Tippett did more go-motion like in dragonslayer, willow, and star wars. go-motion is better than stop-motion and cg. :) he was the Harryhausen of the 80s

  • @MrYayTv You GOT RIGHT!!! This is the Key! But all famous filmakers want to sustain the CGI to sell videogames and computers.

  • Ray Harryhausen will always be the BEST even with todays special effects!. Ray Harryhausen worked his butt off and his work was before its time now its easy to make a movie but Ray Harryhausen YOUR THE BEST EVER AND ALWAYS WILL BE! THANK YOU RAY HARRYHAUSEN!!

  • 0:43

    0:50

    what is the name of that movies please :)

  • @bravoatacama -

    20 million miles to Earth

  • 2:04 I never knew thats where that scene from the intro of malcom in the middle came from!

  • The greatest of all time.Ray Harryhausen

  • Which movie is it @ 4:00? Sabertooth vs the Clops?

  • This answer is for atticana: Well, there is the T-Rex main road attack from Jurassic Park, and I think that's it.

  • Can anybody out there help me with this question? From 3:00 to about 3:17 what movie was that from and how do I pull it up on Youtube? Any help out there???????????

  • the golden voyage of sinbad

  • Its called The Golden Voyage of Sinbad

  • It's from "The Golden Voyage of Sinbad", Just type that into the youtube search bar and see if anyone has uploaded it :)

  • all classics

  • Nice compilation of them! I have many of them for my dvd collection but haven't most of the earlier films from the 50's or "MIGHTY JOE YOUNG". Great job!

  • very cool, would be neat if the vid said what movie each clip is from? i havent seen some of them. thx for posting

  • Shame that producers always refused to bring to life the third mythological project of Ray HARRYHAUSEN called FORCE OF THE TROJANS including an exciting Charybde monster - and then, they do remake of his mythological movies, with CGI ! Nonsense.. More a profanation than a tribute.

  • I read ( in an old stop motion book) that the skeleton from the Ymir model used in 20 Million Miles to Earth was recycled to build the Cyclops in the Seventh Voyage of Sinbad.

  • that was the best stop motion ever

  • Classic Movie Monsters Rulez! :D

  • not half bad at alllll nice and clean

  • He was a real magician. Nowadays, any of us can be one with digital tehcnology.

  • the King Kong effects are not by Harryhausen, it was his teacher Willis O'brian

  • I haven't seen it, but maybe that's "Mighty Joe Young". I'm sure it isn't "King Kong". Any experts to help out?

  • you're right it's from mighty joe young

  • Ray Harryhausen master of stop motion monsters

  • Awesome :) thanks for compiling. a friend sent me here after i commented about the animations in Jason/Argonauts this morning!

  • Nice vid, but you missed Harryhausen's dinosaur segment from The animal world (1956) It appears on the R1 version of 'The Black Scorpion' DVD

  • what was the movie or movies, in black and white with all the giant creatures?

  • Harryhausen's Black and White movies are Mighty Joe Young, (Giant Ape) The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms,(Rhedosaurus) It Came from Beneath the Sea, (Giant Octopus) 20 Million Miles to Earth (Ymir) and Earth vs the Flying Saucers (No creatures but the Saucers are animated)

  • Comment removed

  • Mysterious Island

  • He was the greatest ever. I'll take originality over modern special effects any day.

  • I JUST LOVE HIS WORK!

    AWESOME!

  • Awesome!

  • Talos scared the living daylights out of me with his creaking and the sheer size of him, but the dinosaur fights are my favourite still...

  • it sure is amazing how ray Haryhausen made all those creatures by hand,wow he's a living legend indeed,those are so done good, I guess it's true when they say true clasics never die.

  • Dedication, thats what movies nowadays need,

  • the skeleton fight scen was great

  • what movie is that walrus from?

  • Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger

  • which movie has the octopus?

  • It came from beneath the sea

  • Waaow many of them are so realistic !

  • 0:50 - Man, if that elephant is a fake, then I am Jim Carrey.

  • hello mr carrey :)

  • Hiya, Creep!

    Look what I got! It's...THE CLAW! ROAR! THE CLAW!

    This pen...is...rrr-rrr--rrrrrrr--r­rreeee----BLUE! THE GODDAMNED PEN IS BLUE!

    (draws on himself)

  • They need him badly today. It is scary and looks real. Today's computer effects don't fool anyone and if he had did "The Hulk" it would have been better.

  • AAAALLLLLL RRRIGHTY THEN!

  • these special effects are even better than most CGI in new movies...

  • que buenos efectos!!

    y que recuerdos!!

    gracias cumpa!!

    v

    v

  • Harryhausen,the master of the stop motion effects...brilliant!

  • 1:11 Giant Enemy Crab!

  • The sword fighting skeletons are pretty dang epic.

    Probably the most fluid and seamless stop motion involving live actors.

  • he doesnt call them monsters he calls them creatures :)

  • it is too dark

  • Magic. Never to be seen again.

  • I much prefer Ray Harryhausen's stuff to all the modern CGI. It seems to me that more work goes into it. And, I have yet to see any CGI sequence that makes the same impact as the skeleton men scene in 'Jason and the Argonauts'.

  • @atticana 'Its seems to me that more work goes into it' WRONG!!! have you ever tried making CG animation on maya? no, thought not. it isn't just clicking and lettin the computer do it for you. you spend hours painfully trying to make things move and act realistically

    dont get me wrong, i love stop motion, and hope it never dies. im sad that there isn't enough of it at the moment- it just annoys me wen people think that any type of animation is easier than another...

  • @atticana rip ray harryhausen 1946 1985

  • @willowtransition Dude, what are you on about? Ray Harryhausen was born in 1920 and is still alive today! He lives in England now. There is a long and very interesting article about him in Wikipedia.

  • @atticana i know i read in wikipedia he is still alive he is just very old but still hes alive and the person you are talking to got his birthdate wrong

  • Can anyone tell me the movie name with the giant crab and wasp shortly after 1:00 - i saw it when i was a little boy but cant remember the name

  • is ``mysterious island´´ from 1961.

    Greetings.

  • thanks my friend, i found it and watched it with your help :)

  • If only Ray's take on "The War of the Worlds" was fully realized!

  • What movie is 1:39? I think I saw parts of it as a child, but I never got to finish the movie.

  • It's Jason and the Argonaughts x

  • From Jason and the Argonauts - the Harpies who take Phineus' food at every meal.

  • What was the movie in 0:51

  • is ``20 Millions miles to earth´´ (1957)

    Greetings.

  • When I was younger, I was more scared by the unnatural movements of stop motion creatures. The one that I actually recall being scared of at the time was ED - 209 from Robocop.

  • There is no comparison between StopMo and CG. StopMo wins every time!!! No matter how hard they try to make a CGI monster look real, they just can't impart a soul to it because there are so many people involved in creating it. With StopMo, it more often than not is one man working alone and the vision in his mind, heart, and soul is imparted into the creature. StopMo is god-like. CGI is creation by committee.

  • Great Ray Harryhausen video loved every moment of it. Its so sad that stop motion isn't used so much now, It has such a beautiful quality to it.

    In my view it's an art form that comes from the heart ,because of the share effort thats put in to making it.

  • There's something in Stop Motion that computer simulation still quite can't replicate. The jerky motion is an insignificant issue really when you think about how much more the life and personality the character has matters. And all that you need to create it is your hands really.

  • ahh...this was magic...i mean, cg is sometimes great but when abused, feels so lame...but this is just wonderful

  • wow I loved all this monsters so much as a kid it is amazing to see them all put together

  • from What movie it is (3:30)??

  • beautiful and amazing!

  • I remember, as a child I was very afraid of this at that time realistic vision....

  • Whoaa... amazing stuff

  • if i was gunna make a giant monster back then, i would make beast from yhe disney beauty and the beast movie. His design is amazing and if he were like king kong he'd be sweet

  • Give me this magic over CGI crap anyday!

  • 20 Million Miles To Earth.

  • This video is full of win!!!

  • great! mitic scenes!

  • Actually, Willis O'Brien ("Obie") directed the sequences, but most of the Mighty Joe Young animation was done by Harryhausen, though Pete Peterson also did some shots.

  • umm you do know that the mighty joe young animations were done by willis o'brian right?

  • Whích movies are the dinosaurs from?

  • The dinosaurs are from "One Million Years B.C." and "Valley of Gwangi."

  • Remember seeing many of these films on telly when I was really young. There's an unreality about the effects that I found really disturbing at the time. It's used to a great effect that you'd never seen in today's CGI-laden blockbusters. Special effects with genuine character.

  • Loved watching all those movies growing up, especially like the Ymir from 20,000 miles to Earth and all the Sindad movies

  • I mean 20 million miles to earth, lol

  • BRILLIANT!! =D

  • COOL!

  • very good what is the music

  • It's from Casino Royale (the 2006 Daniel Craig Bond not the 60s spoof).

  • thank you

  • This is a very good video!! By all crikey , it brought me so much memories from my child times. One of those old days i thought would be forgotten but i was wrong. I love it!!.....:)
