[q8altair12]

poor blind guy those monsters never let him eat peacefuly until jason came

but yeah zeus is an asshole alright!!!

You know, watching this, I gotta say that even the stop motion animation ages better than a lot of the CGI these days, with the possible exception of Avatar. CGI comes off as too cartoony, while the textures achieved with these models are perfect. Sometimes the motion can be limited, but I'll take these over CGI any day.

this movie freaked the crap out of me when i was a little kid. :D haha!

[skudaarkaat1]

One of the Harpies looks a little like a rich old bat that owned part of a car dealership where I worked!! What a toad!!!

[MPT1983]

So why didnt one of the argonauts just kill them with a well aimed spear throw or arrow,they move slow enough lol

[B1ggz13]

@MPT1983 how did they get such a large net? haha, you have to give some concessions to these things ;)

[jemmendoza]

hmmm.. they dont look as a harpy,, I think thats a demon, having blue skin and a wings of a bat, I'm sure thats a demon, because if it is a harpy, it should have wings of a bird not a bat wings and not blue skin it should be a feather

[ThatsMrMoronToYou]

Great music for the netting scene.

[zarynkristel]

Pure class! They don't make 'em like that anymore.

[bigjeff100]

Phineas released too much information about the gods, and thus Zeus didn't want to kill him for this but make him regret his mistakes.. So he placed him on this island with a buffet of food protected by harpies and also blind.. He was never meant to be killed there, just tortured..

[desertbaby09]

oooooh okay! thank you!!

[MegaGlaceon]

Are those really Harpies?

[chriscross584]

sometimes stop motion animation is the best

[redfish888]

That is one heck of a big net!

[bluesuze]

where is this place? anyone know?

[jamierourketen]

the blind man was also one of the dr who,s in the 1960s.

[Cherstars]

yessssss very good that was Dr Who he was my fave one WELL DONE! YOU HAVE A GOOD EYE! Gosh I remember almost everything about this movie, but never knew that was Dr Who thanxxxxxx

[MIKELMIKE777]

What wives become in divorce court !!!

[laxfan727]

whats the curse again he cant leave the harpies but he gets food and stuff and what did he do?

[dergeier117]

That is a crappy curse. I feel bad for Phineas.

[Phoenixdude456]

those harpies are way ugly

[twilightguRL1oo5]

I've never seen anything more ugly in my life thank those harpies.

[pantstelly93]

i thought harpies were more "bird-women" less "pain and panic from disney's hercules"

i'd even settle for harpy lady from yugioh

[ShortySOM]

@pantstelly93 I thought the bird women were Sirens

[Titan752]

Unlike the harpy from another movie, "Jack, the Giant Killer." In that fantasy flick, Torin Thatcher, as the evil sorcerer and Prince of Witches, Pendragon, transforms himself magically into a giant, flying creature...with the head of a wolf, an eagle's body and talons,the leather-like wings of a bat, and a serpent's tail! Harpies are as much a part of ancient mythology as chimeras, rocs, and griffins....

[rorixlawfer]

the sun god send the harpies, not zeus

it was Apollo who gave him the power of prophecy not zeus lol

[RichardBlaikie]

I was just wondering what are those creatures called?

[MongooseBSW]

Harpies

[GoblinXXX]

And as I am sure you're aware, there is no cure for harpies...

It's really cool at 1:18 where one pulls the old man's shawl away- Great interaction.

[SYFANT]

i love when they topple the table too

[guarani527]

[mojomonkey18]
