If You Make Things Too Real, Sometimes

When You Put A Big Budget Into A Film, It Doesn't Necessarily Mean It Will Be A Better Picture, But It Does Help In Creating New Images On The Screen.

Animation Requires A Great Deal Of Concentration, And I Preferred To Work Alone Because Then I'm Not Deterred By Somebody Asking Me If I Want Coffee, Or The Phone Ringing Or Something.

Medusa Was Fascinating To Work With Because I Gave Her A Snake's Body So That She Could Pull Herself With Her Hands Which Gave Her A Very Creepy Aura. I Didn't Want To Animate Cosmic Gowns. Most Medusas You See In The Classics Have Flowing Robes Which Would Be Mad To Even Try To Animate.

If You Make Things Too Real, Sometimes You Bring It Down To The Mundane.

One Film Critic Back In The Early Days Said "it's A Pity Mr. Harryhausen Didn't Animated The Actors, Too."
