Harryhausen's most touching work is done in the quiet, beguiling scene in which the villainous wizard patiently breathes life into a tiny gargoyle, a concise ode to the divine qualities of the craftsman's art
Special effects, fantasy fans will love it...and that is the target audience.
Fun in a "rainy Saturday afternoon" kinda way.
...the real star is always special-effects wizard Ray Harryhausen.
...may be fun for youngsters but a little trying for adults.
Definitely one of the best Ray Harryhausen extravaganzas, with John Phillip Law running the show.

Totally fascinating stop-motion animation effects. It's an interesting voyage. The characters aren't fleshed out much. It's very Saturday-afternoon matinee in feel.
