All I can say is I don’t believe it.
I never thought Harryhausen would ever have such a comprehensive exhibition here in the U.S.
Your coverage of the show is so complete and the photos are great. I’ve never seen so many of Harryhausens puppets anywhere.
I love this kind of story.

Like the article, nice pictures.
I wish Ray would auction a few of those figures so he could raise funds for his foundation, and give a few fans a chance to own one of them. Then again, Peter Jackson would outbid everyone, so no regular fans would stand a chance, lol.

Thank you for mentioning the two-disc DVD “Ray Harryhausen: The Early Years Collection,” which I produced for Sparkhill Productions in 2005. The DVD is available from Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk and other sources. Ray and I are very proud of the DVD because, for the first time, virtually all of his tests, experiments, Fairy Tales and Mother Goose Stories, and other rare items were made available in one place. I have admired Harryhausen’s great work since the early 1950s and was responsible for the successful campaigns to get Ray his Oscar (the Gordon E. Sawyer Award) in 1992 (thanks to letters of support from several dozen film industry supporters) and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in June of 2003. Your images of Ray’s AMPAS exhibit are wonderful. Congratulations.

I really appreciate the responses from everyone, as I am happy to share Ray’s great work with others.
Mr. Kunert, I also thank you very much for taking the time to respond to my article. I am glad that you saw my coverage and enjoyed it. I hope Ray did as well.
Ray’s body of work is amazing to me and millions of others, around the world.
Thanks again.
