An animation legend, I think many of us here will have seen at least one film with his work in. In an era long before computerised animation, his models were flawlessly animated and designed to seque perfectly with human co-actors.

As a big War of the worlds fan, I was interested to find this:

A pity that the film itself never came to fruitition because if anyone could have animated the martians in a believable way in that era, it was Harryhausen.

So, RIP Ray, and thank you for all the creatures big and small.
