My dad forced me to watch this last night. (I'm 18) , once making fun of the bad animation gets old , you get used to it , and then you realize it's not half bad. I enjoyed it.
This was what originally inspired Henry Selick (director of Nightmare Before Christmas, Coraline, and James and the Giant Peach...) to want to jump into stop-motion!!
He's right! There's some super great animation in these clips! I'm impressed how good it is considering it was made in the late 50s! Nice eye, Henry! <3
@sunzsu yes todays monsters are funny, I remmember when I first time watched Old Nosferatu, 1922. I was kid and it was year 2002, I tought omg its boring old movie, but when that horrible damned usic in castle, and that Nosferatu appears in doors, wich automatic opens. It was scary, or when Nosferatu on Ship. Ouu I was not able to sleep for month after it.
Jesus, this reminds me of being a kid. Its so 80's (Even tho it was made in the 50's or 60's). To me the cyclops is so mid 80's.... He should have a bouffant hair style.... Then he truely would be 80's. He's also clearly a homosexual who has yet to come out of the closet.... Hence the anger he displays... He really does need to have a good look at himself and maybe attend an anger management class.
Man..the cyclops has been hittin' the gym. He's jacked and sportin' a 6 pack. I remember watching this in a theatre and I was captivated by the special effects. The creatures created Ray Harryhausen seem to have a personality that came across. It isn't fair to compare the special effects of years before to the current. Many of these special effects were the inspiration to CGI.
If someone was to ask me why do I watch films, i would say, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, Woody Allen, Orson Welles and the cyclops in the 7th voyage, I love Harryhausen I hope he has many happy years ahead of him, he deserves it for giving me nightmares ;)
Harryhausen wasn't just a master animator, but also a master sculptor and solver of formal problems. No one in the whole history of art, from Poussin back to the ancient Greeks themselves, ever worked out a more satisfactory solution to the problem of just where do you put a Cyclops' eye. H took it off the forehead and got it under the brow, but then what the hell do you do with the bridge of the nose? H dared to get rid of it. Then you have to link the eye to a stump of a nose. Not easy...
replying to my own post here. There are in fact a few instances of ancient cyclops sculptures with the eye replacing the bridge of the nose (no instances in the history of CE Western European art though). However, I still think RH did the best job with the eye, because one also has to get rid of any sense of eye sockets to each side, some remnant of which remains in the ancient versions, but which has been totally eradicated in Ray's effort.
Also Ray's linking of the eye to the nose stub is more solid and convincing than the ancient attempts, because of the emphatic line he takes from the eye corners down into the inner tops of the nostrils. The ancient attempts by contrast do tend to leave the two features floating rather uncertainly in relation to each other.

I felt sorry for the cyclops when he gets blinded. They tease him after that.

Also Ray's linking of the eye to the nose stub is more solid and convincing than the ancient attempts, because of the emphatic line he takes from the eye corners down into the inner tops of the nostrils. The ancient attempts by contrast do tend to leave the two features floating rather uncertainly in relation to each other.
