When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth (1970) Stop-Motion shots

[@adrianblake8694]

Stop motion is how many of us were introduced to sci-fi. Its a dying art these days. Hats off to Ray Harihousan and others who made this possible.

[@garyslomczynski6579]

Great model figures used for filming!! This is why I paint figures for close to 50 yrs!!

[@glenrich-uu9zr]

From the script, castings, settings, and the hightlights of stop motion mega beasts, the rhythm of the film, "A million years B.C." is much spectator and vividness.

[@filinfoll6259]

Today, films like this make you smile. Smile kindly. How naive all this is.

The Chasmosaurus accidentally running off the side of the cliff will never not be funny.

I never regarded that shot as funny. Also when I first saw the film I thought it’s a Pentaceratops

[@STP43FAN1]

Jim Danforth was really really good.

[@voronOsphere]

I never knew David Allen was involved! Thanks for that information! Shout outs to both David and Jim Danforth for this amazing work!

[@Gamzillaman]

What irks me about some of the stop-motion creatures, along with the creatures from The Lost World, in this film is that they all sound the same. Could they not afford more unique sounding roars?

[@jarodheuer4171]

Sometimes it is that or they reuse stock sounds.

[@dan_hitchman007]

This was a Hammer Horror release. Be happy they found money to do stop motion animation at all, let alone get a professional artist.

[@pparenteauvfx]

@@Gamzillaman I have noticed the lack of diversity in sound as well. Sometimes they even use a simple vibration.

[@NoName-zm1ks]

Judging by these clips, the humans liked to throw their combined weight around, picking on them poor dinosaurs.

In all reality when dinosaurs walked the planet their were no humans, its just made up rubbish

[@MDGeist-eu2uz]

You could make a video with all the stop motion scenes from King Kong 1933 including the scene that Peter Jackson did called The Lost Spider Pit Sequence.

[@pparenteauvfx]

@@MDGeist-eu2uz I was planning on making the original King Kong since it is StopMotion. Peter Jackson version is all CG so this channel it’s not the right place to put it. I am thinking about making a channel about all the VFX clips in selected films but that is a huge task to undertake.

[@dan_hitchman007]

@@pparenteauvfx He was talking about the recreated spider pit sequence that Jackson's crew made with stop motion animation and add it to the 1933 King Kong stop motion footage. It's in the extras for his remake of King Kong.

I love the mother Megalania mistaking a woman for her baby, even though the lady looks nothing like her she still insists on feeding her

[@fattuscattus2200]

To be honest I seriously doubt that the giant lizard monster in this movie is supposed to be a Megalania. More likely it is a purely fictitious creation, and reminds me more of Harryhausen’s Rhedosaurus from Beast of 20,000 Fathoms than of any real prehistoric animal.

[@thejoker15678]

Ah, thank god, I finally get to see all the scenes of the dinosaurs and other animals in When Dinosaurs Roamed the Earth! 7:01 Though, now I know Mosasaurus didn’t do much in When Dinosaurs Roamed the Earth, other than attacking a lone Neanderthal isolated on a small makeshift raft set on fire in the ocean, and now I realized Mosasaurus in this film also uses its vintage design, where it is depicted with a slightly long neck.

[@ananslator3655]

[@garryferrington811]

They should have thrown out the script and gone with the Mother Dinosaur and the woman. They could have made a Disney family-friendly movie instead of a rehash!

[@BeauHoyt-n9p]

Apparently, this movie is made by Hammer just like One Million Years B. C. (1966) (Apparently).

[@SasquaDash]

Yes the movie was made by Hammer, but they weren't able to get Harryhausen to do the effects like he did with One Million Years B.C., although the stop motion in the movie is still pretty impressive.

[@LynseyFraser]

[@dylangeltzeiler946]

0:06 This Plesiosaur was where the 1st Stop Motion Creature came in. 0:40 Especially attacked. 2:20-2:22 If it isn’t the only actual Dinosaur from this Film. 2:24 At 1st glance, it looked like a Pentaceratops. But it’s really Chasmosaurus. 2:41 That scene reminds me, I heard there was going to be another Dinosaur on this Film, a 2 legged Dinosaur. Probably a Tyrannosaurus Rex, but at there was was a little test footage or something. 3:08 Also, this relative of Triceratops sounds like the Allosaurus from One Million Years B.C. with the same sound effect. 3:24-3:26 Speaking of “like”, When I saw this little one Hatched I was like… “Is that what I think it is?” 3:44-3:46 Then when the Mother Dinosaur came back, I was like “Yep, it definitely is the Rhedosaurus. Only a little bit Different.” 3:50 At least she has a head like that of a real Tyrannosaurus Rex. 3:53-4:06 & 4:18-4:21 I know, I know she & her little one were pronounced as Megalosaurus. But nevertheless, they’re still full colored versions of The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms. 6:58 She also has the growling sound effect of the Allosaurus from One Million Years B.C. 7:02 This one looks like a Mosasaur. 7:07-7:36 This was the last scene the look alike of The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms was seen. Until Planet Of Dinosaurs 8 years later.

[@thejoker15678]

Wait a minute, I remember how Megalosaurus was believed to be a large bear-like lizard, at first I found it weird that the big lizard was actually Megalosaurus, but I now remember that Megalosaurus was thought to be a large bear-like lizard, similar to this one from When Dinosaurs Roamed the Earth, so I think I'm gonna identify this giant Rhedosaurus-like Lizard creature as a depiction of Megalosaurus for now, since the first ever depiction of Megalosaurus shows it as a large lizard, though we know now its dinosaur and a theropod.

[@dylangeltzeiler946]

@@thejoker15678 I thought I said that the fictional version of the Dinosaur was pronounced as a Megalosaurus?

[@thejoker15678]

@@dylangeltzeiler946 I know that giant Rhedosaurus-like lizard is a Megalosaurus too, and I can see why it was shown as a large type of lizard in the film, this is actually an old depiction of Megalosaurus from the 1820s, where it was believed to be a large type of lizard, since paleontologists at that time didn’t have the right knowledge as they do now in the present.

[@dylangeltzeiler946]

@@thejoker15678I’m well aware of that old theory of Crystal Palace Park. But now we know that Megalosaurus is really a 2 legged Dinosaur just like Allosaurus & T.Rex AKA Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Some of Harryhausen's best work, IMO. Compare the 'rhedosaurus' (or 'megalosaurus', according to Wikipedia!) here to the dragon in The 7th Voyage of Sinbad. Which I also love; but this megalosaur is some serious kind of levelling up.

[@carolynallisee2463]

I did some research on this one, and, oh boy, did the film-makers of this one really make a hash of things. Not the dinosaurs, I have to add. Taking into account what was known of dinosaurs and other animals at the time, they did pretty well. No, this film was made after the first moon landing, and even then, it was known to be almost as old as the Earth. Perhaps the film makers were counting on the fact that an audience that didn't know, or care, that tens of millions of years existed between the extinction of non-avian dinosaurs and the evolution of modern humans, wouldn't know, or care to know, how and when our moon formed. To be fair, no-one really knew how it did. One theory had it somehow pulled out of our planet's side by some passing celestial body, thus leaving a great depression that would become the Pacific Ocean Basin. We now know that many formerly inexplicable features of our planet are the results of what we now call 'plate tectonics' a theory so new back then that a lot of people didn't accept it. The accepted theory now is that a Mars-sized protoplanet, which has been called Theia, crashed into the young Earth at a shallow angle, causing a lot of molten rock to spray out, which coalesced to form our moon over time. Perhaps we got lucky that this impact happened long before the planet cooled enough for liquid water to form on the surface. Certainly, had the moon formed when this film suggests it did, none of us would be here now, watching it... even if it was pulled out of the Pacific Ocean!

[@garryferrington811]

You're getting a little too anal about this silly movie. I've always wondered why no "caveman" movie ever used appropriate animals, sabre-tooths and giant sloths, for instance. Huge flightless birds could have been pretty scary.

[@WilliamLovell-oh1rb]

The giant quadroped carnivore looks more realistic than any CGI critter. ❤(Good to know others agree with me that the it's a heavily stylised megalania.)
