Viewing Notes

With the passing of Ray Harryhausen today I felt it appropriate to finally crack the shrink wrap on this DVD and give it a spin. It’s been ages since I’ve seen this film but it was a staple of my youth. I even saw it at the drive-in once back when drive-ins regularly screened films like this. Sad day but what a life Ray enjoyed. Such an influence on so many and one of my biggest influences. So glad I was able to meet him at Wonderfest in 1996. Still one of the greatest days of my life. Thank you, Ray Harryhausen. You were an inspiration to us all. Pure magic.
