The Ymir is one of Harryhausen's most tragic monsters; captured and brought to an alien world, wracked by uncontrollable transformation (growth) due to an alien atmosphere that must surely be causing it great pain, unable to understand or be understood by the strange native life, hounded and hunted at every turn despite being peaceful by nature and only attacking when first provoked (recall the lamb it spared, the dog, and the dumbass with the pitchfork), caught and experimented on, and finally killed.
That's because ORIGINALLY Ray Harryhausen wanted to make the Ymir a cyclops but later decided on a reptilian humanoid that we see here in the final product.
I was born in 1969. I remember watching this back when we had like three main TV channels (2, 11, 13) and a few on UHF. I think I may have seen this on either Ghost Host or Creature Feature. Lol, good times when you're like 10 years old seeing it. *_TRUST !!_*
@@Magmagfayou may say, "it's not about the height", but abilities, the creature only has phisical strength, but Minilla can blast an smaller atomic breath, and a atomic ring, that yet, it does damage, Minilla also has phisical strength, he can jump, and probably kick
@@MagmagfaWhile Little Godzilla can blast atomic bubbles or whatever that is, i think that also can damage smaller creatures like humans, Little Godzilla may be chubby but he can move, he could do small kicks or stomp the creature
4:10-4:13 This is exactly how that fight was seen in the trailer. But not with the women screaming & running for their lives. 5:15-5:17 Even this shot of the Ymir fighting with the Elephant also fits together without being cut for a couple seconds. 6:14-6:23 This too was seen in the trailer without being cut off for awhile.
Bonus: 6:47 The same sound effects for one of the cyclops from The 7th Voyage of Sinbad. Especially the part where the other Bigger Cyclops fought & lost the encounter with the Dragon.
Voyage Where is Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II Godzilla vs. Spacegodzilla, Godzilla vs. Megaguirus Godzilla against Mechagodzilla, Godzilla Tokyo S.O.S. Jason and the Argonauts, The Golden Voyage of Sinbad, Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger?
A animação em stop motion é sem dúvida a melhor técnica para ser usada em filmes de monstros é por essa razão que os filmes antigos onde o stop motion foi usado serem muito melhores que os filmes em CG que são usados nos dias de hoje !
It went from being slightly smaller than an elephant to something bigger than a giraffe, is there story i need to know how it got bigger or so it just looks more badass?
From what I understand from the movie, *this is not a dinosaur, but rather an alien from Planet Venus,* the hottest planet in the solar system. Their species is called Ymiri, and they have a different anatomy to survive the harsh and hot atmosphere of Venus. When brought to earth, as an egg, it reacts with the oxygen and nitrogen in our atmosphere, making it mutate and grow very fast. At first it was as big as a chicken, then grew into human size (3 - 6 feet), then after capture, it was taller than an indian Elephant (almost 10 feet). During its rampage through the city, it grew even more bigger and dwarfed the bridge Ponte Saint Angelo (which is 7 meters or 23 feet in depth) At the end of the film, it was as tall as pillars of temple of saturn, which is 11 meters tall (36 feet). In the sequel comics another member of Ymir's species grew upto 20 meters tall.
