DVD Reviews of Ray Harryhausen: The Early Years Collection

DVD Review: not what I expected
Summary: 2 Stars

I believed this DVD would be the movies itself but it was clips and how they were created. I was upset as it was a gift.

DVD Review: Recommended for avid fans of Ray H.
Summary: 4 Stars

very classic and old, if you're collecting Ray H. movies, this one is a must. But if you just want old movies, you might not like it that much, this one are a collection of his first movie special effects clips, you might want to consider the other 2 box collections available here in amazon too, which i also happen to have, their nice good old movies and classic too. Search for Ray Harryhausen.

DVD Review: A fascinating look at Ray Harryhausen's early works
Summary: 5 Stars

Ray Harryhausen is a genius. One of those very rare artists who created unforgettable movie images, frame by frame.
This opportunity to discover his early work is wonderful and will delight his many fans around the world.

DVD Review: Little Red Riding Hood is the masterpiece of this collection
Summary: 4 Stars

It has the greatest amount of poignancy and depth of characterization and visually it is the most impressive. Hansel and Gretel is another good one but the kids and father in the story are all a little too Germanic looking to be that appealing.

DVD Review: Inspirational DIY Stop-Motion
Summary: 5 Stars

For young animators just getting started, this collection is a must-see. Ray Harryhausen, whose feature film effects work (i.e. Clash of the Titans) is known and studied by all types of animators, also has a slate of early work that is equally inspiring. These short films, based on well-known fairy tales like "Little Miss Muffet," were made simply with low budgets, using in-camera effects. One of the signature methods Ray used was in-camera dissolves (fading one image out while fading another image in), for changes of facial expression on replacement sculpted heads. The puppets were carefully crafted by the whole Harryhausen family--dad made the armatures, mom made the costumes. While Ray eventually had the opportunity to learn from stop-motion master Willis O'Brien, these early independent films are where he developed his own style and innovations through experimentation. As such they are an invaluable resource as inspiration to stop-motion animators today.
