Our earliest memories of Ray Harryhausen<\/a> revolved around science fiction, fantasy and mythology which included epic films such as 20 Million Miles to Earth<\/a> (1957), The 7th Voyage of Sinbad<\/a> (1958), Jason and the Argonauts<\/a> (1963), First Men in the Moon<\/a> (1964), One Million Years B.C.<\/a> (1966), Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger<\/a> (1977) and Clash of the Titans<\/a> (1981).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jason and the Argonauts<\/a> and First Men in the Moon<\/a> were my two personal favorites. Both filled my young life with wonderful stories and images that were directly as a result of this titan in special effects and movie producing. Harryhausen shaped my admiration for science fiction films and television shows from an early age.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In the new days of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, where digital special effects are the norm, no one should forget where it all started, with Stop Motion filming that Ray Harryhausen was an undisputed master!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Who can forget where it all came from? Certainly not several modern day movie legends such as George Lucas (Star Wars), Steven Spielberg (E.T. The Extraterrestrial), James Cameron (Avatar) and Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings trilogy). All have stated in interviews that Ray Harryhausen<\/a> was an indispensable reference standard for their own careers that contributed to their own success in the entertainment industry.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For your enjoyment, we include below the Comic-Con at Home 2021 panel about the legendary Mr Ray Harryhausen!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
