Joe vs The Lion

[@BigBrotherMateyka]

Mind-boggling to think this film came out more than 70 years ago, and the stop-motion editing looks so incredibly fresh and clean. Absolutely amazing.

[@jacobcox4565]

I love how much Joe moves like an actual animal, yet he has so much character and emotion behind those movements as well. Ray Harryhausen did an incredible job.

[@queenglamazona8789]

I love how Joe pounds the ground whenever he gets angry. What wonderful detail in the Animation.

[@anthonylaudati]

Brilliant stop-motion animation by Ray Harryhausen.

[@martinpetersson4350]

Yeah he really kicked O'Brien's ass!

[@gustavogarcia7655]

Ray harryhausen is a genius

[@289cobra9]

@@martinpetersson4350 He did what he did because of O'Brien. Ray saw King Kong as a kid in 1933. The rest is history.

[@martinpetersson4350]

@@289cobra9 I know, what I refer to is he honed his skill to a higher level of quality. I know O'Brien was among the first stop motion animators and that Ray worked with him on this film. I love the work of both.

The live-action and stop motion footage are integrated seamlessly, even if you can't help but feel sorry for the lion who was undoubtedly harassed and driven crazy by his trainers in order to "act".

[@benjaminfischer3229]

Look. In the old days, it was common that lions were trained because people at the time were afraid of wild animals on the loose!

[@drawinaminutewithdr.rajasa8861]

Imagine putting the real lion's video over a stop motion video like that, that was some genius technique and must've astonished people back in those days,

[@1998topornik]

That stop-motion animation still looks great!

[@1950Grendel]

More action in that clip than in the entire remake, even if the remake is "more realistic".

[@martinpetersson4350]

Stan Winstons animatronic and suit for the remake was fantastic, best I've ever seen.

[@benjaminfischer3229]

​@@Chepstowion_Adventura So? A circus lion was natural in the old days since people at the time were scared of wild animals on the loose like this one.

[@Chepstowion_Adventura]

@@benjaminfischer3229 yeah but it animal cruelty and so that lion feel happy that he free from his captors.

[@benjaminfischer3229]

@@Chepstowion_Adventura Kid, I’ve been from one circus to another and there was no sign of animal cruelty, anywhere. So, the animal cruelty in the circus of the 30s was a humbug.

[@maximusgaming3122]

Wow this is crazy how they super imposed the claymation with the real lion. It’s better than cgi we see today.

[@blackmamba5034]

The Lion was smart enough to run away rather than engage in a fight with Mighty Joe. Smart decision, it's not a brave one.

[@nicholasmorsovillo2752]

Yeah it's funny that when Joe knocks the cage over and after smashing it open when the lion escapes you can clearly see it as stop motion but when it is running away it's a real lion and man I was laughing throughout a lot of scenes in this movie it was freaking hilarious and after all these years I still can't get over the fact when they made this movie they used the same roar and grunting sound effects for Mighty Joe Young like they did for the original King Kong that came out nearly 12 years earlier as this movie was released in 1945 and the original King Kong was released in 1933.

[@jennamabry3331]

That’s a very good question. Based on what Joe does to the lions later in the movie, he probably wants to wrestle with him or change him.
