Loving tribute to Ray Harryhausen by Wonderfest convention organizer Dave Conover. Very well done, and a fitting tribute to the one and only master of stop motion animation!

  • Good Voice.

    Are you a professional?

    If not... DO IT!

  • Yes a lesson for us all, do not drink a big soda before the movie starts!! I have a BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS and THEM! dvd and it was interesting to compare the two! Both have monsters unleashed due to atomic bomb testing and an old scientist who is fasinated with the creatures! While one might say that BEAST is better because the Harryhausen dinosaur is more lifelike then the Ants, THEM! has great suspense and plays on the imagination! So I say they both work great in their storytelling!

  • The 7th Voyage of Sinbad and Jason and the Argonauts...the fantasy classics that are the fabric of many persons childhood's.

  • Ray Harryhausen Is a childhood hero of mine, but i live in a different decade than you guys. Btw, ray should see this, he would be happy.

  • Amazing how this video matches my own Harryhausen experience. I always loved O'Brian's King Kong on television. I saw 7th Voyage of Sinbad at a drive-in movie. It must have been the same 1975 re-release. I remember my dad asking how they were able to fit a man in that Cyclops suite. I was hooked to Harryhausen after that. I still have a Super 8 reel of the opening cyclops sequence in black & white and silent with subtitles. I studied it frame by frame. Still doing animation today.

  • I bought all of Harryhausen's films on VHS when I became a parent and showed them to my kids. They were just as amazed and enchanted as we had been when we saw them on afternoon TV...

  • a GREAT tribute to the man!!! I saw One Million Years B.C in the theatre in 1966 and believe me, ill never forget it!!!!!

  • great take on the FX Master! I too was smitten with his animation at age 4, only I saw "One Million Years BC" and I was already a dinosaur fanatic. It wasnt til years later about 1977 I think I read an article on him in Fantastic Films magazine. Ive been making movies ever since lol. see my attached claymation "GALACTIC PIRATES"! peace.

  • How have I watched this tribute film so many times without ever leaving a comment? Sorry about that because a big Thank You for this film is truly deserved! What an awesome look back over the career of an awesome man, this tribute really hits all the marks. Fantastic! :)

  • Beautifully realised and dignified tribute that wonderfully evokes my own childhood. Thank you.
