    Amazing short film that took 50 years to finish...

    I was priveliged to see the premiere of Ray Harryhausen's film, The Tortoise and the Hare" at the Egyptian Theatre in Los Angeles. The film was amazing, the audience was very positive and amazing as well. Mr. Harryhausen was present in the theatre for a Q & A which was also a special privelige.

    This short film he had started in the 1950's, but never finished because he was off pursuing more lucrative jobs in the movies. His words exactly and much to our (the fans) benefits.

    It was an epic evening. Starting with a viewing of "Jason and the Argonauts" and ending with "Clash of the Titans". All Ray Harryhausen classics.

    "The Tortoise and the Hare" is a good time for children and adults alike. Mr. Harryhausen turns a classic story and makes it his own with his own special way of special effects and telling of a story. I highly recommend it if you have a chance to view it.

    Given the history of this project, in more than one sense, "slow and steady wins the race" is indeed appropriate.

    Ray Harryhausen started this short back in the early 1950s as part of a series of stop-motion animation shorts using fables as the starting point in order to develop the techniques in a more immediate and cost-effective manner. He had about three to four minutes shot when he quit because larger, better paying, projects called. He kept the footage and most of the models, however, and some younger animators learned about the short a few years ago and got Harryhausen's permission to complete it themselves. So out came the models and completed footage. Ironically (considering the looong, slooow pace of the project) the model they found largely missing was the tortoise! I suspect the original got tired of waiting around for the boss to come back and started off again, ponderously but patiently, on his way to his finishing line.

    The completed project works exceptionally well and is largely seamless, with little indication as to where the original footage is versus the newer work. Given the fact that film ages, this means that the current animation team did a great job in making things mesh together. The short also fits the style of the other shorts in the series that Harryhausen completed so many years ago (I think there are five others) and I can only hope that some enterprising soul decides the whole series should be released on DVD and/or VHS. Fascinating in many ways. Well worth watching. Recommended.
