Perseus
(the
son
of
Zeus)
is
an
earthling
having
to
save
Andromeda.
But
to
get
there,
he
has
to
face
many
obstacles
like
defeating
a
range
of
monsters,
and
facing
all
manner
of
dangers
thrown
in
his
path
by
the
sea
goddess
Thetis.
However,
his
quest
is
tackled
with
his
wits,
and
some
help
from
Zeus,
his
flying
horse
Pegasus,
a
mechanical
owl,
his
shield,
sword
and
invisible
cloak.
An
adventure
of
amazing
proportions
catapults
the
viewer
into
a
highly
entertaining
Greek
mythological
fantasy.
I'm
so
glad
this
1981
classic
got
a
DVD
re-release
in
time
for
the
3D
remake
-
not
only
to
make
people
aware
of
the
original,
but
also
for
those
who
still
enjoy
their
movies
with
real,
physical
stop-motion
animated
creatures
added
to
live
action
sequences,
as
opposed
to
total
digital
engulfment.
As
with
some
of
the
more
memorable
Sinbad
movies
and
Jason
And
The
Argonauts,
legend
Ray
Harryhausen's
stop-animation
talent
gave
these
movies
a
very
unique
life.
Even
though
the
digital
creations
of
today
is
highly
detailed,
there
is
something
about
the
imperfect
stop-animation
that
adds
realism
and
true
character
to
everything
from
a
flying
Pegasus,
snake-headed
Medusa,
multi-headed
dog-beast,
gigantic
Kraken
sea
creature
and
more,
which
Perseus
has
to
face
in
Clash
Of
The
Titans.
A
welcome
bonus
feature
has
Harryhausen
talking
about
his
craft.
