The Original KING OF THE MONSTERS: Who Was Ray Harryhausen?

[@MattDraper]

This is a reupload due to a copyright claim, but this is one of my favorite videos I've made this year so I hope you still enjoy it even if you've already seen it!

[@tayloredwards4968]

For me a movie monster that scared me when I was a kid was the other mother from Coraline

[@jamespilcher4069]

Bummer, you had to do a re-edit incredible video and moving tribute to an icon

[@Marklord13]

What changes were made?

[@balsalmalberto8086]

Who filed the claim?

[@Deadwolf27]

I will rewatch this entire thing to get you any revenue I can.

[@Zebred2001]

There is a cinematic award far higher than any Oscar. That is the status of a "Legend" - which Ray Harryhausen certainly earned!

[@SpookyouKnowIt23]

Reupload or not, it's Harryhausen, deserves to be rewatched

[@stefanyeah]

Sindbad's 7th Voyage is one of my biggest childhood movie memories and to this day, one of my favourite dragons. Before a long trainride, that one will find it's way onto my iPad together with Highlander.

[@scottlette]

Ray. The man. The myth. The legend.

[@MadDragon-lb7qg]

I was lucky enough to meet Ray some years back, a wonderful man.

[@Stop_Motion_Commotion]

Ray harryhausen was and always will be a legend!

[@SnapperChannel]

Glad to see this video reuploaded. Convinced me to finally watch 7th Voyage of Sinbad, Jason and the Argonauts and Clash of the Titans. All fun times.

[@michaelkibble740]

I love any movie with Ray Harryhausen monsters

[@Wordsmith-qu9yc]

One of the most talented people in movie history. Great video, thanks for loading.

[@nealrepetti2396]

I still watch Ray's work with amazement! He was the best of the best!

[@mandalorianhunter1]

Finally, I wish I could have watched this when it first came out. Glad I got to watch it now

[@michaelchoman1625]

Ray Harryhausen: jack of all trades, master of all!

[@aaronhemme8913]

My favorite Harryhausen films have always been Jason and the Argonauts, Clash of the Titans, and The 7th Voyage of Sinbad. To me, those are his greatest works. I remember renting those VHS 📼 from the video store as a Lil kid and watch them with my Grandma at her house. Now I own them on DVD 📀 to me those are the GOATS in his film career.

[@Busto]

The Calibos transformation scene has always stuck with me. As a Catholic school kid, it was how I imagined the Morning Star's fall happened. The most beautiful & beloved of the Lord's minions, turned hideous & wrathful due to pride & envy. At least the horror of Medusa could be subdued by her rack...😲

[@vipermad358]

I saw "Clash of the Titans" in the theatre when it was released. Totally awesome!

[@Anynom]

I missed this taken down before but glad to see it back up!

[@oliverneves-gi3lh]

The Rhedosaurus will always be one of my favorite monsters made by Ray Harryhausen.

[@andreastewart8871]

Talos & Medusa will always give me shivers 😂😱

[@9594Jacob]

Ray Harryhausen is a true legend and deserved to be remembered and loved for his monster films.

[@Briarpatchlogic]

Harryhausen's Talos haunts me to this day

[@midnightmosesuk]

I grew up on this stuff. Fantastic.

[@bryank3500]

Absolutely a true Legend and a Great Cinematic Trailblazer.

[@steelcurtain187]

Incredible job. Clash of the titans was incredible and one of my fav movies of my childhood

[@maxleroux]

One of Ray Harryhausen's first jobs as an animator was on George Pal's Puppetoons. It was fun to find out that my two favourite stop motion animators both knew each other.

[@thatguywithoutahead]

Fuck Yeah! I come online and see a Matt Drapper video about Harryhausen? Today is a good day.

[@johnpittsii7524]

Thanks for the amazing video Matt ❤

[@j.r.marchley1563]

Harryhausen was right when he said I don't want my creatures to be too real because it takes away from the fantasy and sci-fi aspects of his films. Stop-animation is a wonder all on its own that CGI lacks.

[@muaykaliente4386]

Clash of the titans is my favourite film. I used to watch it daily. One day my father and i went to london and didnt have a plan. I googled what was on and I was lucky enough to see all the harryhausen collection consisting of all his monsters including medusa and the skeletons from jason and the argonauts in the london film museum back in the day. It was a one of after he died. A true film making pioneer in special effects. sadly the figures would have rotted away by now😢

[@ClutchCargo001]

As a kid growing up in the 60s, RH films were the very essence of excitement and adventure. I own them all and watch them regularly. We shall not see his like again.

[@COUNTRYBOY_9]

Great video! I’ve always been a fan of stop motion, but even more so now in my adult years. Makes me want to check out more of his movies.

[@vaderfett3229]

Glad this video has returned! I TRULY hope you FINALLY get to do a video on my favourite film of all time - THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY 😉

[@parkerpshebnisky1051]

As a harryhausen fan I loved your video!😁🦖🦍🦂🐝

[@newtypepunk9967]

Ah it sucks that you had to redo this video, it is a good video about the legend that is Ray Harryhausen, worth re watching for sure.

[@JacobMcElhaney-cj6bv]

Glad to see this reuploaded!💚💚

[@josephbologna2387]

Was JUST looking up any high-def/4k collections of his work, nice timing lol

[@meimei8718]

Inspiring definitely. Thanks for the video

[@dmisfit79]

I love Harryhausen and even share a birthday with him!

[@generoush3823]

Watched a lot of his movies as a kid, nobody can match him

[@carlozabbia1157]

A genius, and a master of patience.

[@bensneb360]

A true “master” of his craft

[@debralerner8298]

i always loved and still love jason and the augranots🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂!!!!!!!!!!

[@AngelPerez-tu1nk]

I always was intrigued by those early stop.motion achievements. Humanity went on the decline when they stopped using them.

[@Mrsierramist1]

Such an underrated art form

[@phillipjohnson8903]

I want to bring this style of creature animation back to the modern era. CG is cool but this has it's own vibe as well

[@stanimirgeorgiev.87]

You mean stop-motion puppet monsters. Because the KING OF THE MONSTERS is Lovecraft! ❤😁 By the way, I love stop-motion and I'm learning to do stop-motion right now. But since I'm alone it's a bit of a slow and tedious process. But yeah, I like the old classic effects maybe combined with a little CG for more polish. 😁 Great video.

[@trevthomscultclassiccorner2037]

Good job. Minor correction though: Ray didn't start working with Charles Schneer until It Came from Beneath the Sea. 😉 Also, no Mysterious Island clips? 😜

[@ethanreynolds3522]

You should do a video about the unmade Ray Harryhausen projects that never got made.

[@maldon3659]

I'm pretty sure Disney's Hercules references Clash Of The Titans with Zeus creating a star constellation that looks like Hercules

[@amanzeihedioha]

So much respect🥲

[@Nono-hk3is]

Hell yeah hell yeah hell yeah

[@graefx]

I need to know everything about Sinbad Goes to Mars

[@sgt_slobber.7628]

Before there was ‘CGI’ there was Harryhausen!!!!!

[@TheBeird]

He made cinema better

[@michaelchoman1625]

Gwangi was an Allosaurus.

[@SpookyouKnowIt23]

Unmade Harryhausen Films video when?

[@Briarpatchlogic]

Some of the books Matt mentioned talks about these at length...a vid on them would be very interesting.

[@stevekoller3314]

It bums me that we never got "Force of the Trojans", a cancelled sequel to Clash of the Titans.

[@tonyvelazquez4588]

Matt Draper is the shit man

[@peterhogan9537]

stop motion is much better than todays tech.

[@TonyTylerDraws]

I’ve seen some Harryhausen clips that had their FPS increased and it loses all the charm. It’s like when your child starts pronouncing a word correctly instead of cute mispronunciation

[@dawwe8869]

Eyy

[@DavidsonJohnson-xl9be]

Can you do a video on captian America white

[@kevinballenger1211]

Ray Was Way Ahead Of His Time!

[@protagkun]

nah man I think godzilla clears in a fight no diff

[@rhindlethered]

The *ORIGINAL*? Willis O'Brien.

[@ShanGamer1981]

Lost art- sad

[@DAVIDALANJONESRIDGE]

As I have noted elsewhere, it would be lamentable and unfortunate to discover that some of these props may have ended up in some bone yard somewhere. And for equal time I hope you are not minimizing the work and contributions of George Pal or Mr. Disney proper. And, I would never place CGI in the same class as these Giants of cinema. The humongous crews of CGI will never match the talent that these men had as a single individual. Oh, come on now, "Avatar" was 98% CGI, no real acting.

[@chuzzbot]

Bit bored of American accents to tell the truth, it's time for the world to take a break from US cultural toxicity. Otherwise, I would enjoy this Matt. Good luck.

[@tinyjones8454]

I'll still watch anyone of his movies if I see it.
