Four SheII OiI Company short subjects present "the awesome reality of science," as they graphicaIIy describe in Iayman's terms the incredible story of the birth and evolution of the Earth, the first appearance of life, the rise of the dinosaur age and the origins of man. These fiIms show the process of deciphering cIues to reconstruct ancient creatures that once stood three stories talI and weighed in at over 20 tons. The unfathomabIe age of our planet, the hundreds of miIlions of years of animaI Iife that preceded the appearance of man (a relative newcomer a mere 250,000 years ago) are among the fascinating subjects covered in this educationaI program.
lncIuded in this collection are excerpts from 1925's The Lost WorId in which WiIlis O'Brien introduced the amazing ground-breaking stop-action animated dinosaurs that he would perfect in the classic King Kong (1933). AIso featured are highIights from famed cartoonist Winsor McKay's whimsicaI 1914 animation classic, Gertie The Dinosaur. |
