Harryhausen - The Movie Posters

Well produced book with quite a few bits included I've never seen before. Buy one. It's chunky.

I was always interested in stop-motion animation as a kid after watching 7th Voyage of Sinbad on tv in the 1970's (never saw of the end of it due to a power cut! 😁). I have seen the Harryhausen exhibition in London several years ago so was inspired to buy this book. Not disappointed!

I remember all of Ray Harryhausen's films from my youth and it is great to have a book full of the posters from his films. The quality is brilliant and the artwork for the posters is outstanding. If you are a fan of Ray's work or just enjoy looking at film posters, buy this book, it's well worth it.

This was a present for my daughter as Covid had prevented her from going to the Harryhausen exhibition. She was delighted with it and thought that it was beautifully printed and presented.

Great item well packed and arrived on time

I own quite a few volumes on movie memorabilia - this is one of the very best! Superb quality, great choices, big format, tasteful modern design... just GREAT! Ray would have loved it !! Since the price is also OK... just get it, you won't regret it...

The book is great other than the corner of the book was really knocked in which was quite disappointing

Perfect gift for all those who grew up with films like clash of the titans ,Jason and the argonauts etc ,,harryhausen was the first to bring realistic animation to the cinema screen ,,a little treasure trove of interesting pics and facts

Excelente

Wer das Buch "Die Filme des Ray Harryhausen", mit zahlreichen Aushangfotos und Lobby-Cards zu allen Ray Harryhausen-Filmen, aber leider nur die deutschen Motive, besitzt, sollte sich dieses tolle Werk, mit sämtlichen Internationalen Postermotiven, zum Teil Ganzseitig oder Doppelseitig, zulegen. Leider ist auch das alberne DDR-Plakat zu "Sindbad 's 7. Reise" enthalten (Männchen mit Schnurrbart läuft auf der Zunge des Drachen-sieht eher nach russischer Art aus, aber nicht nach dem Original) und das Ganze noch auf einer Seite. Ich dachte ich würde dieses komische Plakat nie wieder sehen, aber: "Sag niemals Nie!" Trotzdem gibt es die volle Punktzahl von mir, da die, für hohe Preise gehandelten, japanischen Plakatmotive enthalten sind und die französischen, sowie auch die Originalmotive! Fazit: Tolle Ergänzung, zu meinen bisherigen 3 Büchern, über Ray Harryhausen 's Werke!

There were a couple of spreads that got caught in the crack of the binding. But over all, the color and the rarity of some of the art made this book a must-have for the Harryhausen collector. I was delighted to see a number of posters I had never seen before. And I am a life long fan who was even privileged to have met the master. My collection includes autographed books and stills that were personally signed for me by the master. Yeah, I am a shameless fanboy. The only other fantasy film maker/ producer as influential was Walt Disney. There will never be another like him.

This book is absolutely full with stunning Color illustrations of all of his movies,if you are a fan of fifties/sixties Fantasy/SF posterart and/or a Harryhausen fan this book a is absolutely for you ... a must. highly Recommended! i Rated this book a well deserved 5 Stars. H.M.

This is a beautiful art book celebrating the work of Ray Harryhausen by featuring the numerous pieces of advertising artwork created to sell his films worldwide. It's a beautifully put together package. It's really interesting to see how artwork is redone and repurposed from country to country. Sometimes an initial piece of artwork created for the American or British release is altered or redrawn but present through seemingly every poster created, other films have wildly varying poster designs, where every single poster for a different country goes into a wild, different direction. I have to say, the 7th Voyage of Sinbad is probably my favorite chapter in this book just because all the posters are so different. Sometimes they emphasize Sinbad and the princess, sometimes they emphasize the skeleton fight, and sometimes the giant monsters are what's highlighted. Though the reproduction of artwork is the main component of the book, there's also a short write-up of each film constituting a brief overview of Rat's career. I found this really interesting, because it highlights some names in the development process for each movie that I was unfamiliar with. I didn't know that Ray frequently collaborated with a sculptor from the Smithsonian Natural History Museum to design a great many of those creatures!
