I totally agree! Tim and Ray are SO awesome!!!

I'm just going to echo a few other comments and say that I don't think I have ever seen Tim Burton so animated in discussing....anything! I realise he's not exactly known for being verbally articulate, but I personally think it was an interview with real flow as Burton so obviously adores Harryhausen's work and Harryhausen seems pleased to talk to someone who is so genuinely enthusiastic.

I am so glad that Burton expressed so well his admiration and appreciation of the work of this incredibly talented and wonderful man. Harryhausen has touched so many of us. He has fired up the imagination of so many of us, growing up in the 60's and 70's.

Ray is genius! He has added so much personality in his animation. It was him and Willis O'Brian that have greatly inspired me. His animation is fantastic even in his B pictures. Thanks Ray!!!!!!!

Meeting the old master is probably a life achievement in itself

I've never seen Tim so excited, he was like a little kid during this interview. Thanks so much for uploading. I've always been a huge fan of stop motion and I love this. RIP Ray Harryhausen.

As a kid, I remember when I would see Ray Harryhausen's name in the opening credits, I knew I was about to taken away to wondrous worlds full of adventure! Medusa was my favorite and I find her as terribly frightening now as I did as a child. Thank you Ray for all your hard work and imagination!

2 icons of stop motion...what else can you say except thank you for the memories

Fantastic ..memories and great to see Tim so fascinated (and knowledgeable). RIP Ray..you brought fun n excitement to a young boy who had TV as his best childhood friend.

Thank You Ray making me so happy growing up in my younger years and my mom and dad used to take me to Drive Ins to watch your movies in the 70's and today movies dont close !!..Ray God bless you and we miss you!!

@Kevin Dupre are you an actual idiot or just pretending?

When I was a kid, these movies came on on Saturday and Sunday, my brothers always wanted to watch sports, I always wanted to watch this stuff. I was the youngest, so never got to see much. One TV back then.

I was so very lucky to have met Ray at a science fiction convention in the late 80's; out in the hall where he was waiting for his handlers to take him to dinner. We spent almost twenty minutes chatting about illustration; just two artists sharing their passion for the craft. It didn't matter to him where you were at that moment in time, just that you were doing something interesting with your own talent.

I never did get to meet Mr Harryhausen, but his skeleton army is the the reason I now make little steel knights and many other tiny mechanical marvels. I have my fingers-crossed but I hope to work with the charming imagineer Tim Burton some time soon (I have already been VERY close to once)... I can feel it in my bones (pun intended)! 🏆🎬

nigelcarren That's awesome. I hope you do get the opportunity to work with Tim Burton.

As a kid, One Million Years B.C. changed my life. Interestingly, the next most impactful film for me may be Burton's Batman. I never knew Tim was such a fan of Rays. It's awesome to see the 2 together.

When I met Ray, I was 12 years old and I can remember being so nervous. I ended up hardly speaking a word but I was just so ecstatic meeting my idol.

Ray Harryhausen great animator. Jack Cardiff great photographer. Two Legends who kept early to mid cinema thrilling and beautiful to watch. And you knew instinctively any film they were involved .

Two icons!!

OMGossshhh! How awesome! I never knew abt this. Love R. Harryhousen's creations! I hav most of his movies on DVD. I SO respect them both! Thx 4 this one 🙂🙂💕💕 * Also own many of Tim Burton's films, as well.. 2 geniuses..hands dn!!

This is gold seeing film geniuses discuss the movies.

Wish he would have asked Ray about Clash of the Titans more. but this interview is awesome! Two legends!

This was brilliant a master and master talking shop, there is no better treat for us aspiring artist! Thank you for sharing!!

I LOOOOOVVEEE Ray and Tim they're my favorite stop motion animators!!!

Harry was a brilliant creator!

Man I wish I could meet Ray

This is a great video to understand Tim and what he and his movies are about thematically and what they are inspired by.

Thank you for the last 60 years of inspiration Ray, you changed my life and I passed it on to my son

What a treat to watch!

R.i.p. master :(

Rest in peace dear genius 🦕🦖

wonderful interview :)

Ray's laugh is delightful.

Great interview with a legend

This is a great video, definitely worth watching.

The King of stop motion and claymation.

I have some of the X figures in cold cast resin. The skeletons have such power to their expressions and posture. The Hydra heads are perfectly detailed. I would wish if anything to see Ray sculpt a head on video. At the scale he worked at.

Burton geeking out! Cool!

Ray Harryhausen: wonderful, unique, humble genius. Take a look at his work in extreme slow-mo using a player like VLC. It is a revelation.

Great video thankyou

Uffff...pure talent

This man should be counted with the likes of Tolkien in regards to creating fantasy.

@kongojira1788

I’ve always considered him the Tolkien of fantasy movies

Dos grandes del cine!!!

Mr Harryhausen was the best known man of special effects and movies. Clash of the Titans is my favorite. My favorite monster is Pegasus. Sometimes I would like to have an animal like that as a pet

Ray showed me my first monsters and special fx. I spent untold hours in front of a b/w television in the middle of the night devouring old movies as a kid. He sparked my interest in creating images that can not exist in the real world, that are birthed in my mind and demand a release so that I can enlighten, beautify, or torture those around me. Tim Burton has a unique dark and twisted vision I also enjoy. He is a great talent to be reckoned with in our age of pablum entertainment, money chasing and BS celebrity worship.

Ray Harryhausen is great...Yeah

This is such a charming video. Tim Burton - clearly a successful and visionary director showing respect to Mr. Harryhausen. There are many documentaries which show some of the greatest Sci-Fi & fantasy filmmakers talk about Ray with such enthusiasm. His special FX creations were the fantastic adventures of our childhoods, brought to life in a way that CGI could never accomplish.

21:46 Tim grits his teeth as he remembers a painful childhood memory.

4:20 It’s the Ymir from 20 Million Miles To Earth. 15:46 I’m picking up what they’re saying. 15:49 Ray Harryhausen took down the Monument in Earth Vs The Flying Saucers, Tim Burton took down the Monument in Mars Attacks.

The camera operator making sure just Tim’s nose is in the shot. Lol!!!

Listen to the master ok R.I.P Master for ever ok

Their discussion about what young viewers could handle struck a chord with me. As a kid I was scared of nearly everything that wasn't Disney, Bluth, or Henson. And yet while watching all of the old movies Harryhausen worked on, I wasn't scared either but rather thrilled. The Medusa scene from Clash of the Titans was especially tense but in a fun way.

"Adults lose their imagination, and the kid keeps his imagination up to a certain point until he's brainwashed to discard it." - Ray Harryhausen

make movie about ray harryhousen, story about him how he starts his career

I don't think people stop caring when they get older because of a lack of imagination, but because a loss of emotions

Tim's sputterings become annoying occasionally yet Ray overlooks it and gives a fine account of himself.

I can’t stand when even stop motion animals are threatened or hurt or die.

Would've loved if Tim didn't keep stepping over Ray Harryhausen when he would try to delve into some of his stories and background.

Just a note that for all the crap CG takes (and it deserves some of it) when it's done right there's nothing better. And before motion capture some 3D characters were animated by hand using a stop motion style model that sent signals into the computer for the animator then they were touched up. I'm a huge fan of stop motion. Played around with it in the 80s. Some of Ray's films are my favs...

I wasn't going to bother signing in until I read mxylpx's comment, I had to agree, with more than a thumbs up,...maybe that is why Tim needs to express himself with animation,...not exactly eloquent or spontaneously articulate, Bob Costas could have pulled this off without any research, I don't watch any sports on TV at all,...that's how good Bob is, but this is not about Bob. Even before I knew who Ray Harryhausen was, or what stop action was, in my memory banks, were stored my favorite parts of all of the movies that I had seen, I later learned that one man was responsible, I learned what stop action was and how animation worked long before I knew about Ray, and he was, and is great, still.

Did they ever colorize the movies?

DIOS MIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ALGUIEN TRADUZCA EL VIDEO POR EL AMOR AL ARTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!

Friendly reminder that if you ever come around to interview a legend stop brambling and let the person talk goddammit. Only discovered this interview now and sadly Harryhausen has passed away since sadly. What a missed opportunity!!!!

People are usually 💩 and the beast is just a natural nature. Love Ray H.! Tim B. Has his own jem's as well!

Nicholas Cage as Tim Burton

Superchuckles all the way.

Tim has never been good at expressing himself. He is a little socially awkward but this interview truly made him happy so I'm not gonna rate his skills as an interviewer.

This video brings out my inner 7 year old

If only Ray could see what Laika Studios and Wes Anderson have made, upgrading the art that he pretty much re-invented, since his passing...

St John 3:16! 💓 JESUS is RETURNING SOON! ALLELUIA! 🙏🙌 My nephew was genius ALSO! He made sculptures, and puppets and other artwork. He just became ill with kidney problems so he never went into professional art. I'm here to see medusa. So scary in my youth. THANK GOD for this talent! 👏👏

Haha Tim being a fanboy

The realism caused people to believe dinosaurs were from millions of years ago. But the LORD made everything only a few thousand years ago. I'm in LOVE with JESUS! "All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made." John 1:3! HALLELUJAH! 🙏🙌

Ray your the best and so much better then Tim!

Too excited. Tim often forgot that the focus of the interview was Ray and not himself. Very poorly done on Tim's part.
