THE ANIMAL WORLD ON DVD

Updated: January 08, 2022

The Animal World (1956)

Having won an Academy Award for his documentary-style study of ocean life called The Sea Around Us, producer Irwin Allen decided to make a similar film about the history of animal life on the planet Earth. For a segment dealing with prehistoric life, the stop-motion special effects were created by Willis O'Brien ( King Kong) and Ray Harryhausen (Mighty Joe Young). In it, we see dinosaurs walking, fighting, eating, and even laying eggs—including the birth of a baby dinosaur! The stop-motion models were highly-detailed, and their prehistoric environment was beautifully designed. Unfortunately, The Animal World was never released to theaters and except for a few clips here and there has rarely been seen by Harryhausen fans.

This DVD is "Region 0" or "All Regions", which means it is not region-encoded and should be compatible with most DVD players worldwide.

Value: $15.
