Sad to hear about his passing. He did wonderful work back in those days.

I grew up watching his work on big screens and small. A very large part of my childhood was spent awestruck by his creations. If there is one thing to be said about his creations versus today's high tech FX, Harry's animations seemd to have a bit more life to them, a naturalness and credibitlty that high-def FX of today just doesn't seem to touch. When you watch his work, you can readily buy into the "reality" of the scene. Along with George Pal, Harry took the art of stop motion and refined it into a genuine art form. It is notable that Tim Burton has continued the art with his own stop motion films and, in many cases, his animated work is better and more heartfelt than some of his work with live actors. This was also the case with Harry...

The news here in Hollywood is full of news and tributes to his work. There are some people who, when they pass, it is said to be the end of an era: Today is very much and end of an era...

Thanks, Harry, and rest you well...
