Incredible Silent Movie Stop-Motion Dinosaurs! ("The Lost World", 1925) (video)




When Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's adventure "The Lost World" was brought to the screen...

...and Prof. Challenger (Wallace Beery) set off in search of prehistoric dinosaurs...

...future KING KONG (1933) special-effects master Willis O'Brien brought them to life.

For 1925 audiences, such sights were nothing short of astounding.

Even now, these unique stop-motion creatures retain their power to delight and astonish.


I neither own nor claim any rights to this material.  Just having some fun with it.  Thanks for watching!
