Many people are under the delusion that i'm just a special-effects man, but i've worn many different hats in my day. on every film i've been involved in, i worked with the writer and producer. we really formulated those scripts. we tried to make films that were logical but still had the fantasy feel of it. i enjoy aardman animation's films with wallace and gromit, but they're obvious puppet films, whereas we tried to disguise it and make our effects characters in the films rather than obvious puppets.

More From Ray Harryhausen

It [moviemaking] is about entertaining audiences with great characters and great stories, you want to make people laugh, you want to make people cry, you want to have great music that is memorable. you want a movie that, as soon as it's over, you want to watch it again, just like that. that's what it is, whether it's live-action, animation, hand drawn, computer, special effects, puppet animation, it doesn't matter. that's the goal of a filmmaker.
Memorable Character Hands
I really wish that peoplewould just say, 'yes, it's a comic. yes, this is fantasy. yes, this is science fiction,' and defend the genre instead of saying, 'horror is a bit passe so this is dark fantasy,' and that' s playing someone else's game. so that's why i say i'm a fantasy writer and to hell with 'it doesn't read like what i think of as a fantasy'. in that case what you think of as a fantasy is not a fantasy. or there is more to it than you think.
Dark Thinking Games
Yeah, once we decided to use that replacement animation, and the seams are a function of that animation, and other movies paint those out, we decided we wanted to keep the presence of the animation and the type of animation that it was rather than make it look polished. it created a kind of vulnerability, i think.
Thinking Looks Use
I intend to work until the day i die. i retired from feature-length films but not from animation. self-indulgent animation. it's nice that i have the mini-theater in the museum. most of the museum visitors attend the mini-theater screenings and we've never had a complaint about the quality of the films. i'd like to continue to make films that leave the audience satisfied, but i also think it's pointless unless i offer them the kind of animation they can't get anywhere else. they're fun to do. they're short so it's less stressful.

It may be that we are puppets-puppets controlled by the strings of society. but at least we are puppets with perception, with awareness. and perhaps our awareness is the first step to our liberation. (1974)
Perception Puppets May
Animation, for me, is a wonderful art form. i never understood why the studios wanted to stop making animation. maybe they felt that the audiences around the world only wanted to watch computer animation. i didn't understand that, because i don't think ever in the history of cinema did the medium of a film make that film entertaining or not. what i've always felt is, what audiences like to watch are really good movies.

I don't want to hear at all what the artist thinks about his art. and i'm not writing for the artist. i'm writing for the reader, and i want to tell the reader what i think.
