Who is Ray Harryhausen?

written by

If you are still wondering who Ray Harryhausen is, and why Pixar used his name for a restaurant in Tokyo…

He was the guy who pioneered stop-motion model animation in films. 

He was the guy who created the skeleton fight scene in the 1963 movie Jason and the Argonauts. I watched this when I was little and it was the most fantastic thing I had ever seen.  Mind blowing stuff.

Enjoy.

    Indeed. Which also brings up the question of how they could possibly expect to become useful & productive members of a civilized society when their overly violent demeanor leaves so much to be desired.
    Major plot hole.

    Kidding aside, a very interesting post! I had wondered who ‘Harryhausen’ was from the reference in Monsters Inc & that recent Cars short.
