Ray Harryhausen's Fairy Tales
Special effects master Ray Harryhausen got his start with these rare stop-motion adaptations of popular fairy tales! The young Harryhausen had spent World War II working under Colonel Frank Capra in the U.S. Army's Special Services Division, making military films. By war's end, Ray had salvaged enough leftover 16mm stock to make his first short, an anthology of classic fairy tales called "The Mother Goose Stories (1946)." Astonishingly, Harryhausen animated every single frame of the film himself, with his parents helping with the elaborate costuming and detailed sets. He then successfully distributed the film to schools, where it became a staple of rainy day assemblies.
