walking through the village |
but there have been a lot in films, and here's one of the first that I ever saw, the one from
When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth
(1970). I got this as an 11 minute 8mm comp in the early 70s, from K-Mart. those were the days, when you actually owned film. this was in glorious b/w and had three or four of the animated scenes in it. the elasmosaurus attack was the first one.time for roast beast! |
the stop-motion animation by Jim Danforth is very good, though I feel sorry for the beast as it's burned to death. it sure is an unusual critter, with claws on it's flippers and being able to walk on land. at the time, I do believe the conventional wisdom thought all plesiosaurs could do that, as they didn't realize they would give birth live in the ocean. I sure wish I liked the movie itself more than I do, though.
