Monster Robot Crocodile Head from Peter Pan.

Hydraulic crocodile head built for P.J. Hogan's Peter Pan movie.
It incorporates Greg's principle of delayed precision in order to achieve smooth organic body movement.
It was made for John Cox's creature workshop.
Hydraulic engineering by Trevor Tighe. Facial mechs by Sonny Tilders and Greg McKee.
The skin is foam latex.
Sculpture by David Renn in small maquette size, then digitally laser scanned and carved out of blocks of polystyrene foam by a robot milling system in John Cox's creature workshop.
Paint Job by Dave Renn
Facial expressions mixed with a Gilderfluke system.
Our experience with this approach gave Sonny and Trevor the confidence to undertake the "Walking with Dinosaurs" stage show.

which film was this used in?

The battle of Britain?

How come they didn't show this on as a special feature on the DVD?

[GregOrca]

I'm not sure. The production took some of their own behind the scenes footage (which was pretty basic) but this is all from my camera and Sonny's.

We told them we had great footage but they didn't ask to see it.

The croc had a whole week of shooting scheduled but because the production was running behind schedule by weeks, the little bit that appears on screen only had filming start on Friday afternoon!. They only had time for 2 or 3 short shots with it switched off for 2 of them.

Couldn't help but laugh a little at 2:01. That's a ridiculous amount of coordination to even hit the ball three times.

This thing looks a little too real at times. It needs to be in a museum or something.

@DragonBoy425 Oops, wrong button.
