Any chance to see Ray's work is fun.  Only one I didn't know is the one with the squirrel.  What's that from?  And thank you for posting that.

Very nice Dan! As always, I am transported to another world when I see Harryhausen's work. No matter how many times I see these creatures, I am still impressed with the expressiveness of the faces, the body language, and the overall feeling of personality behind  each one.

The squirrel and alligator are from "3 Worlds of Gulliver".

Lots of great movie memories in those critters!

By the way, I love your new avatar, Doc!

I generally prefer Harryhausen's fantasy creatures to the 'real' ones, but I have to say, I watched Mysterious Island for the umpteenth time a few weeks ago, and I just love his giant bees, giant crabs, etc! The man really could capture a naturalistic movement in all of those critters.

Always in the mood to see his stuff.  I WAS kinda hoping for some gratuitous Caroline Munroe shot, though.... >:D

Thanks Danny,
          Being a huge Ray Harryhausen fan (like everyone else here) I never tire of seeing his work.
Thanks for sharing those clips with us.
