It's my birthday on this fine Fun Film Friday & to celebrate, I managed to dig up one of my early favorite films that turned me on to stop-motion animation and claymation, in particular. It's called Dinosaurs! A Field Trip Back in Time and I remember it being one of those educational PBS specials that I managed to catch on TV and it *blew my mind* (which, at the time, probably wasn't much bigger than a dinosaur's). Still, it lit something inside me that became my fascination with claymation, miniatura, stop-motion films, puppetry and fantastical education, so I thought I'd share it with you. Here's part one:
Part 2 continues for a short bit here and the full film (starring Fred Savage!) is here.
Enjoy!
