It is a Ray Harryhausen afternoon, watching The 7th Voyage of Sinbad on glorious 1080p BluRay as these monsters and beast are meant to be. I absolutely adore stop-motion animation so of course I own like a half-dozen Harryhausen films.

The Strait of Hormuz is starting to resemble the mythical Symplegades.
One for #Classics and Ray #Harryhausen fans. I'll get my coat.

Okay, my timeline is often completely overtaken by a #Monsterdon rewatch that I am not viewing, but it is rare that I know the movie so well I can almost watch it Scene-for-scene through timeline comments.
#JasonAndTheArgonauts1963 has some very classic #harryhausen stop motion, I studied that movie.
"The tractor beam that pulled me in was the special exhibit of Ray Harryhausen’s orginal animatronic models and drawings. Here’s the Kraken from Clash of the Titans."
@temptoetiam I'm positive I did watch an old adventure movie where this exact same thing happened, but at the entrance of a cave, I think, or a tunnel. I can't remember which movie it was, but for some reason the memory is linked to Ray Harryhausen (I'd be forever grateful if someone can tell me the title)
As a little kid, I thought this was the most ingenious idea ever, and the image stuck with me forever.
Thank you for sharing this, I had no idea it had so much history.
Ben! (Boo!)
