The family of Harryhausen announced his passing in London. He was 92 years old. The stop-motion maestro and model animation trailblazer was (and will continue to be) a key inspiration for future filmmakers. His work on movies such as Clash of the Titans, Jason And The Argonauts, The Golden Voyage Of Sinbad will be remembered in the world of cinema forever (and even nodded to in current films like Monsters Inc.).
This man's work in special effects formed some of my earliest memories in film. :glurps: if you remember stop motion animation monsters from films in your youth, chances are that harryhausen was behind it.
