The History of Ray Harryhausen 1/2 - Animation Lookback: The Best of Stop Motion 

Willis O Brian and Ray Harryhausen got me into Stop motion along with the dinosaur movies and the giant monster ones too.

I love stop motion so much! It's such an underrated and forgotten art form.

R.I.P. Ray Harryhausen

I love this guys stop motion look backs. You can tell he does his research.

On my 11th birthday, TNT aired "The Seventh Voyage Of Sinbad" as part of their "MonsterVision" block of programming. I consider that film to be MY favorite film of all time. Thanks for the retrospective!

I have a collection of Harryhausen movies since I grew up watching them and I still am impressed with what he accomplished in advancing effects and stop motion animation. The Skelaton Fight in Jason and the Argonauts and the Medusa scene in Clash of the Titans.

Ray Harryhausen was my role model and he really inspired me so thanks for uploading this video

Im so glad you decided to talk about Ray in this lookback. RIP

Thank You!!! Ray's my hero! Both he and Nick Park are the reasons why I am an animator today!

AWWW I REMEMBER THE "Mother Goose" SHORT FILMS!!! I watched "Queen Of Hearts," "Golden Touch," "Rapunzel..." They were sooooo cute!!^.^

As "The Duke of Artz" Ray Harryhausen is a Stopmotion Legend.

Hello Matt, I don't know if you finished all the research on this subject yet, but I like to tell you about something that might interest you. I'm from the Netherlands, and the most prolific stop motion animator in the Netherlands was a man by the name of Joop Geesink. He made stop motion commercials and short movies, many of which you can find here in RU-vid. I surely think he is deservant of some kind of mention here :) Love this series, please keep up the good work :) - Sam

I'm an animator in Hollywood and I love the videos! Keep um going!

I gotta say, that Skeleton Swordsman looked really cool :o

You deserve 5 MILLION subscribers! The fact that you only have 26,000 just shows what the world has come to. Please keep making vids. You're one of the best presenters on youtube

Hate to be a spoiler, but finally the BUG'S LIFE review! THANK YOU!!!!!! :)

Fun Fact: It was because of Ray Harryhausen that Steven Spielberg started his movie career. So if this man didn’t exist, we probably wouldn’t have had hits such as Jaws, the Jurassic Park series, or any other Spielberg move.

03:48 aaaaah.. the majestic Thagomizer, expertly wielded against terrifying foes.

The music during the end is great!

Well, it's about time I discovered this documentary. Hey, this is a great documentary! Thank you for making it.

7:30 is my favorite part of the Ray Harryhausen video.

don't know if anyone has mentioned this but the red tint in the fire sequence in Mighty Joe Young wasn't added later. It was part of the original release. Subsequent TV releases simply printed the whole thing in B&W to the re-release with the tint added was a restoration, not an addition. NMS

Oh my god Mat, you're afro. XD It's so amazing. Hahaha!

You know, if I'm gonna be honest with myself... This video was my introduction to Ray Harryhausen's Stop Motion projects, I was quite inspired by his projects once I dived deeper into his career but the only thing about my inspiration is that I have never done a Stop Motion project featuring creative monsters since I was more focused on Tokusatsu and Kaiju model works. But I have been thinking of taking Ray Harryhausen's path to fame and putting in a few segments of Stop Motion in my projects once I get the chance (I did have a plan on making a Stop Motion segment in my 2019 project "Land Of Dreams" though, but hadn't got round to doing it)

I love claymation

Also, in Early Man (2018), the two dinosaurs in the opening are a Triceratops and a Ceratosaurs and they were fighting AND their names were Ray and Harry!

Godzilla idea is a metaphore to Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs in 1945.

Another neat fact is that the character Spinal, from the game Killer Instinct, was inspired by Ray Harryhausen's skeleton work.

This is awesome. Thanks for making it.

this is a very good video. harryhausen is one of my favorites been watching his movies ever since I can remember i'll always prefer practical special effects opposed to the CGI shit.

Hey! I recognize the music in the Mighty Joe Young segment: it's the lullaby from the remake! - take care, beannacht de duit

Other than King Kong himself, the most memorable part of the movie was the aria of the agonies that Fay Wray emitted from within herself. I love King Kong (1933)!

I hope I watch Ray Harryhausen's work, I didn't even know who he was before.

Mixing live action with stop-motion is considered both easy and hard to do at the same time.

Like the early CG

I got most of the Ray Harryhausen movies and the Willis O Brien films too, I loved their stop motion films since I was a kid.

Omg 😂 the segment at 7:48 was so hillariuse

How about another Animation Lookback: The Best of Stop Motion, dedicated to brickfilm?

I like that you're talking about these movies. Not many people are at this point. If I could suggest something I'd say work a bit on your scriptwriting (especially in regards to the jokes and whatnot). Good video though.

It feels good again to listen to this as I am creating some comics that will be animations that will be famous one day because the inspiration made by Animat...

Harry Harryhausen is fantastic.

0:31 Hey I can see the French Canadian title Histoire de Jouets 3

My name is Swahili, it means "first born daughter"

15:01. It sounded like you said Emu, that really big flightless bird from Australia

Talos was my favorite Harryhausen creation along with the Madusa

Preach it brother.I own every last one of his movies

The out dated technology are still excellent if it wasn’t for them there’ll be nothing on the screen

THE CLAAAAAAAW

Wow, stop motion does not get enough credit. Look at some of those subtle movements and body language.

I wonder how much clay they used for the monsters, they might have run out because of how big they are!

Fun fact: the beast from 20.000 fathoms is my favorite ray harryhausen film for inspirieng godzilla without rhedasaurus we might bot hade godzilla or the monster craze of the 1950's

Not for this video but the ad, thank you for recongizeing the need to not vote based on party system but who might actually do the job right

Actually, Eura was the prince in Glenn and the prince

Did you even see the Disney remake of mighty joe young? It's not like the original it only keeps the main plot and the names of the main character's names and that's it!

Star Actors: Mighty Joe Young Terry Moore: Jill Young - Ben Johnson: Greg - Robert Armstrong: Max - Frank McHugh: Windy - Douglas Fowley: Jones - Denis Green: Crawford - Paul Guilfoyle: Smith - Nestor Paiva: Brown - Regis Toomey: John Young - Lora Lee Michel: Jill Young (Child) - William Schallert: A Gas Station Attendant - Ellen Corby: A Nurse Star Actors: The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms Paul Christian: Professor Nesbitt - Paula Raymond: Lee Hunter - Cecil Kellaway: Dr. Thurgood Elson - Kenneth Tobey: Colonel Evans - Donald Woods: Captain Jackson - Ross Elliot: George Ritchie - Steve Brodie: Sergeant Loomis - Jack Pennick: Jacob Bowman - Michael Fox: The ER Doctor - Lee Van Cleef: Corporal Jason Stone - Frank Ferguson: Dr. Morton - King Donovan: Dr. Ingersoll - James Best: Charlie the Radar Operator Star Actors: The Seventh Voyage of Sindbad Kerwin Matthews: Sindbad - Kathryn Grant: Princess Parisa - Richard Eyer: Barani the Child Genie - Thorin Thatcher: Sokurah - Alec Mango: The Caliph of Baghdad - Harold Kasket: The Sultan - Alfred Brown: Harufa - Nana DeHerrera: Sadi - Nino Falanga: The Gaunt Sailor - Luis Guedes: A Crewman - Virgilio Teixeira: Ali - Danny Green: Karim

so basically he came up with what would eventually become green screen before it was invented. Using the glass instead of a screen.

I love the disney version of mighty joe rip Bill Paxton.

Somebody need to do a throwback to ray harryhausen movies with real stopmortion

That would have been cool mighty Joe Young Meets Tarzan

Hiya! Cool video, but the Ray Bradbury short story the Beast from 20,000 Fathoms movie is based on is called The Foghorn. I looked through the comments, and no one seemed to mention this!

I’m sure some of his movies would have fared better if it wasn’t impossible to get a reservation at his restaurant

Max in Mighty Joe Young looks like JK Simmons as Jay Jonah Jameson in the first three Spider-Man films.

Mighty Joe was a King Kong prequel.

is David Mitton considered a Stop Motion person? because he is a Model Maker.

King Kong is not a bad Ape, He is the modern version of the beast from beauty and the beast.

Hey Animat! Can you do an Animation Lookback on Kalasky Csupo?

Harryhausen saw the walt disney fantasia film so he saw the dinosaur scene and he decided to make a dinosaur film.

i did a report on Ray Harryhausen for school

Man, I wish we got to see the sirens with mermaid tails and the bat devils. I wonder what they look like. We heard the sirens but we didn't see them.

I can't believe Mighty Joe Young 1998 failed miserably. Screw those other movies' performances.

UUUHHH was the title "the beast from under the sea" based on 20,000 leagues under the sea

Ray is my idol always a legend love this video!

Val Eura Kongo as the titular gorilla 1959 World of cavemen as bedado the T. rex 1970 Origin of sinbad as the cyclops and baby rocs 1981 Glenn and the prince as the dragon and the role of Glenn the princess 1981 Panasonic as the creatures 2005 The Mystery of The Blans 2016

my favorite HARRYHAUSAN film is CLASH OF THE TITANS 1981 and JASON AND THE ARGANOUTS 1963

He might as well have gone to prison during the making of MJY.

Toy story 4 is coming spread the word!!!!

Review Big Hero 6 Please! I'm BEGGING YOU!

Wow I never knew that old movie monsters were clay

Could you talk about suitmation

When are you going to review Big Hero 6?

I wish I was married to a 4 armed snake women because I looove snakes and other reptiles

Ray is the reason Godzilla was created

Wow they had blackface, but they were careful on how the natives spoke. >_< Weird times back than.

I don't know if you still check the comments on this video, but if you do may you send me some of your sources? I'm working on a school project in tribute for Harryhausen and require more archive (nonvideo) sources

Mighty looked good

Martha? WHOS MARTHA!

Am I the only one who thinks that the sword fighting skeleton looks a bit like the Stalfos from the Zelda games?

7:28 Is that you Animat

Dr. Suess?!

Before CGI??!! YOU'RE TALKING VOODOO...

Good stop motion is better than crappy CGI any day or man in a costume. By that I mean CGI that isn't done well is no match for well made stop motion animation like Harryhausen's work. Cyclops in 7th voyage, Skeleton fight in Jason and the Argonauts, and much of the work in Clash of the Titans are all still impressive to this day.

Dynamation. It's really pops out.

what was the dinosaur from the beast from 20,000 fathoms called arretasaurus was it ?

Do you watch cinemassacre?

Please do Big Hero 6 review

We have green screens now

What movie at 2:33?

14:17 listen very closely in the background I heard the Godzilla theme

Hmm, filmed in dynamation, reminds me of "filmed in supermarionation"
