A Conversation for Ray Harryhausen - Stop-motion Animator
Fantastical Voyage
Munchkin Started conversation Jul 14, 2000
Fantastical Voyage is a stage show homage to Harryhausen's films. It consists of two blokes on a stage, with a pipe and peaked cap for props. During the show they are attacked by skeletons, giant squids and a six armed god, as well as observing a dinosaur fight a giant statue. All this is illustrated by some amazing motions by the two men on stage. They really are good at moving like they have been animated. It is also very funny, and if you have ever seen a Harryhausen film (and who hasn't) you will get a lot from it.
Incidently, Harryhausen also appears in the novel Dinosaur Summer by Greg Bear, where he can't get a job animating dinosaurs, as real ones exist!
