But for those who are not familiar with the contents THE WONDERFUL WORLDS OF RAY HARRYHAUSEN VOLUME 2 films and here is a brief synopsis of the following brilliant and imaginative Ray Harryhausen films.
‘MYSTERIOUS ISLAND’ [1961] After using a hot air balloon to escape from a Confederate prison camp, Captain Harding [Michael Craig], Corporal Neb Nugent [Dan Jackson] and Sergeant Pencroft [Percy Herbert] crash into the ocean and are later washed up on the beach of a strange mysterious island. The men soon run afoul of the local wildlife, which include giant crabs and prehistoric creatures. To make matters worse, the island's central volcano begins to erupt, threatening to take the whole island down with it. Based on Jules Verne's classic novel, “Mysterious Island” and is Ray Harryhausen’s eighth feature film that contains all the elements that makes Ray Harryhausen’s fantasy films that great, and the pacey script, based on the Jules Verne novel, has you gripped from the off and is one of his more modern-feeling early films, the colour film stock, the exotic settings and wider stable of stars of English actors featuring Herbert Lom. Gripping, erudite and easily on a par with the more well-known previous Sinbad and Argonauts fantasy films, this is one to be marooned with and enjoy this film feast of adventurous excitement.
‘JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS’ [1963] After saving the life of his royal father's usurper, Pelias [Douglas Wilmer], whom he fails to recognise, Jason [Todd Armstrong] is encouraged by the conniving murderer to begin a quest in search of the Golden Fleece. In doing so, Pelias hopes for Jason's death to thwart the prophecy that he will reclaim the throne. Along the journey, Jason is protected by the goddess Hera [Honor Blackman], and his crew includes Hercules [Nigel Green] and Acastus [Gary Raymond], a saboteur planted by Pelias. Jason has been prophesied to take the throne of Thessaly. When he saves Pelias from drowning, but does not recognise him as the man who had earlier killed his father, Pelias tells Jason to travel to Colchis to find the Golden Fleece. Jason follows his advice and assembles a sailing crew of the finest men in Greece, including Hercules. They are under the protection of Hera, queen of the gods. Their voyage is replete with battles against harpies, a giant bronze Talos, a hydra, and an animated skeleton army, all brought to life by the special effects wizardry of Ray Harryhausen.
‘FIRST MEN IN THE MOON’ [1964] Around the turn of the 20th century, Joseph Cavor [Lionel Jeffries], a brilliant British scientist, creates his own spacecraft and takes a trip to the moon, accompanied by explorers Arnold Bedford [Edward Judd] and Kate Callender [Martha Hyer]. After landing, they encounter an insect-like alien race that lives under the moon's surface, which has an air-like atmosphere. After glimpsing the extra-terrestrial society, the group must soon escape back to Earth. The world is delighted when a space craft containing a crew made up of the world’s astronauts lands on the moon, they think for the first time. But the delight turns to shock when the astronauts discover an old British flag and a document declaring that the moon is taken for Queen Victoria proving that the astronauts were not the first men on the moon. On Earth, an investigation team finds the last of the Victorian crew, a now-aged Arnold Bedford and he tells them the story of how he and his girlfriend, Katherine Callender, meet up with an inventor, Joseph Cavor, in 1899 has invented Cavorite, a paste that will allow anything to deflect gravity and he created a sphere that will actually take them to the moon. Taking Arnold and accidentally taking Katherine they fly to the moon where, to their total amazement, they discover a bee-like insect population who take an unhealthy interest in their Earthly visitors. H.G. Wells fantastic account of life on the moon is vividly brought to the screen by special effects master genius Ray Harryhausen in this amazing sci-fi epic fantasy film. This was based on the original H.G. Wells story.

Special Feature: Audio Commentary with Ray Harryhausen and Tony Dalton [Audio only] [2002] [1080p] [1.66:1] [100:46] With this featurette, we get to hear this never-before-heard audio commentary by Animator Ray Harryhausen and Film Historian Tony Dalton and they’re very informative in-depth discussion about the fantasy film ‘MYSTERIOUS ISLAND.’
Special Feature: Audio Commentary with Randall William Cook, C. Courtney Joyner and Steven C. Smith [Audio only] [2002] [1080p] [1.66:1] [100:43] With this featurette, we get to hear from Film Experts Randall William Cook, C. Courtney Joyner and Steven C. Smith who also give their more in-depth discussion about the fantasy film ‘MYSTERIOUS ISLAND.’
Special Feature: Interviews: With this featurette, we get to view four special interviews and they are as follows:
Ray Harryhausen on ‘MYSTERIOUS ISLAND’ [2002] [480i] [1.37:1] [9:05] With this featurette, here once again we get to meet Animator Ray Harryhausen with a much longer in-depth look at the film ‘MYSTERIOUS ISLAND’ and the information we get to hear from the legend that is Ray Harryhausen is totally fascinating and also informs other in-depth information about the films location and especially with the actors escaping from the prison and climbing into the basket that is attached to the inflatable balloon which was filmed in Shepperton studios, which is an urban village in the Borough of Spelthorne, Surrey, and approximately 15 miles South West of Central London. Ray Harryhausen also talks in-depth about the creatures he animated and how they were combined with the actors. As an added bonus, we get to view a few clips from the film ‘MYSTERIOUS ISLAND.’ Ray Harryhausen also informs us that the film ‘MYSTERIOUS ISLAND’ was one of the most successful picture that they made and pleases Ray Harryhausen to know that people still enjoy the film today.
Michael Craig on ‘MYSTERIOUS ISLAND’ [2017] [1080p] [1.66:1 / 1.78:1] [3:18] With this featurette, actor Michael Craig shares his fond memories on working on the film ‘MYSTERIOUS ISLAND’ and found the location a really nice experience in South of Spain and also the experience working with the weird effects and also enjoyed working with the actor Herbert Lom, but also talks about his experiences with the other actors, especially Gary Merrill, who eventually became a good friend to Michael Craig and also gives great praise about Ray Harryhausen and found him to be a really lovely person. Michael Craig talks about his experience of fighting with the giant crab, which of course was not there, and also tells us that he actually saw Ray Harryhausen working with the actual crab in his studio and filming it at one frame at a time and Michael Craig was glad he did not have to do the animation as he thinks it is so laborious and really admired Ray Harryhausen for doing that very hard job. On top of all that, we get to view a few clips form the film ‘MYSTERIOUS ISLAND.’
Ray Andrew on ‘MYSTERIOUS ISLAND’ [2017] [1080p] [1.78:1 / 1.66:1] [2:43] With this featurette, we get to hear from Ray Andrew who was the original clapper loader and recalls his fond memories of working with Ray Harryhausen on the film ‘MYSTERIOUS ISLAND’ especially about the location. Ray Andrew now talks a about the Director Cy Endfield who was a very difficult person to work with and also says there was always a problem with the dialogue for Cy Endfield as he wanted the actors to speak less words than what was written in the script. Ray Andrew also talks about Ray Harryhausen driving down to Whitstable which is a town in the Canterbury district; on the north coast of Kent adjoining the convergence of the Swale Estuary and the Greater Thames Estuary in the south-eastern part of England, where Ray Harryhausen went specifically for the fish market to buy the largest crab ever and when Ray Harryhausen got back he put the big crab in the freezer for over a week so it was completely dead, but the reason for this is the colour of the crab shell would not fade and of course took all the crab meat out and put metal rods in its legs do he could animated the crab. But most of all, Ray Andrew says it was a great honour and a pleasure working the legend that was Ray Harryhausen.
Kim Newman on ‘MYSTERIOUS ISLAND’ [2017] [1080p] [1.78:1] [20:28] With this featurette, here Kim Newman [Author and Genre-film Expert] gives a new in-depth appreciation on the Ray Harryhausen film ‘MYSTERIOUS ISLAND.’ Kim Newman now starts talking about the author Jules Verne who wrote the novel “Mysterious Island” and because all of Jules Verne’s novels went out of copyright in the 1960’s that is the film companies clamoured and were also very eager to make films out of his novels. Kim Newman now talks in-depth about some of Jules Verne’s novels and includes “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea” which of course Walt Disney made into a film and was directed by Richard Fleisher, then Kim Newman talks about the novel “Around The World In 80 Days” which also was box office smash hit film and was directed by Michael Anderson. Kim Newman now talks about the Jules Verne novel “Children of Captain Grant” and was a gain made into a Walt Disney film entitled ‘In Search of the Castaways’ which was directed by Robert Stevenson and thinks it is quite a rip roaring adventure film for children. Kim Newman says that he was enamoured with the actor Herbert Lom playing Captain Nemo and felt he was much better that the actor James Mason who also played the character Captain Nemo in the Walt Disney film ’20,000 Leagues Under The Sea’ [1954] and also feels the film ‘MYSTERIOUS ISLAND’ is one of the more exciting Ray Harryhausen film, but feels it does not have any of the fantasy magic in the 1961 film, like other Ray Harryhausen films, but liked the end of the ‘MYSTERIOUS ISLAND’ film when Captain Nemo gets philosophical and can change the world with progress in science and technology. Kim Newman also felt the actor Herbert Lom underplayed Captain Nemo, but also praises the other British actors and felt Michael Craig did a reasonable American accent, which I totally disagree with, I felt it was more like a mild British accent. Kim Newman also praises the upper class actress Joan Greenwood who of course also appeared in the Ealing Films. Kim Newman also praises the brilliant film composer Bernard Herrmann and feels Charles H. Schneer and Ray Harryhausen had a coup having Bernard Herrmann composing the film score for ‘MYSTERIOUS ISLAND.’ Throughout this featurette we get to view a few clips from the film ‘MYSTERIOUS ISLAND.’ One thing that really has annoyed me about this Kim Newman featurette, is that he just waffles on about so much vacuous rhetoric and I don’t see why he has been allowed the time length of this featurette, because he should of only been allowed a time limit like the three other above previous featurettes.
Special Feature: Mysterious Magic [2017] [1080p / 480i] [1.78:1 / 1.37:1 / 1.66:1] [10:17] With this featurette, we get to meet renowned visual effects animator Hal Hickel in his workshop and discusses the influence of the brilliant pioneering stop-motion animation special effects filmmaking legend Ray Harryhausen. When he was a child, he experienced the might of the film ‘King Kong’ [1933] and read up several books on how they made that film, and made him want to experiment in making his own stop-motion animated home movie films. Then Hal Hickel started to watch all of Ray Harryhausen’s films, and felt even more passionate into getting the movie making business and especially getting into stop-motion animated movies. Hal Hickel informs us that he bought the cut down Super 8mm film of ‘The 7th Voyage of Sinbad’ and studied the film religious, so much so, that he damaged the sprockets on that Super 8mm film. Hal Hickel feels there is something really magical about stop-motion animated movies and is sad it is not used anymore, especially in America film industry, but praises the British Aardman Animations company that features characters from Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep who still use the stop-motion animation tradition. Throughout this featurette, we get to view a few more clips from the film ‘MYSTERIOUS ISLAND.’
Special Feature: Islands of Mystery [1964] [480i] [1.37:1] [5:31] With this featurette, here we get to view a vintage documentary, exploring the film ‘MYSTERIOUS ISLAND’ and its connections to the history of actual real islands that was shot on location at Sa Conca Bay, Castell-Platja d'Aro in Catalonia, Spain. Once again, get to view a few more clips from the film ‘MYSTERIOUS ISLAND.’ This was a Global Video News presentation in Black and White.
Special Feature: ‘MYSTERIOUS ISLAND’ Super 8mm version [1961] [480i] [1.37:1] [19:12] With this featurette, here we get to view the original cut-down home cinema presentation of the film ‘MYSTERIOUS ISLAND.’ They also inform us, that is the days before home video formats, cut-down Super 8mm versions of popular films were produced for audiences to enjoy in the comfort of their own home. The following Super 8mm presentation on ‘MYSTERIOUS ISLAND’ reduces the films running time to a fifth of the original length, but it is perhaps of most interest due to the presence of a narrator, whose short injections are intended to compensate for unavoidable missing actions in the film. Once again, the quality of the image is totally atrocious.
Special Feature: Isolated music score for ‘MYSTERIOUS ISLAND’ by Bernard Herrmann [1961] [1080p] [1.66:1] [100:44] With this featurette, here once again we get to hear the brilliant film music composer Bernard Herrmann and his brilliant majestic film music score without any distraction, and you really get to hear how this music master worked at his best and especially for this brilliant Ray Harryhausen film and there is enough composed film music score to not make you get bored with the silent gaps and is well worth making the effort in listening to this amazing dramatic film music score.
Special Feature: ‘MYSTERIOUS ISLAND’ Trailers and TV Spots: With this featurette, we get to view the following: Original Trailer [1961] [1080p] [1.66:1] [2:40]; Re-release Trailer [2005] [1080p] [1.66:1] [2:36]; TV Trailer #1 [1961] [489i] [1.37:1] [0:22]; TV Trailer #2 [1961] [1080i] [1.37:1] [1:01]; TV Spot #1 [1961] [1080i] [1.37:1] [1:02]; TV Spot #2 [1961] [1080i] [1.37:1] [0:26] and TV Spot #3 [1961] [1080i] [1.37:1] [0:16]

They were thought to have been lost, until five years ago when they were discovered in a box of various film items that Charles H. Schneer gave back to Ray Harryhausen. Although rough, they detail the progression of the sequences that Ray Harryhausen had always seen it, a process that had begun with Ray Harryhausen’s two key drawings for the sequence.

‘FIRST MEN IN THE MOON’
Special Feature: Audio Commentary with Ray Harryhausen, Randall William Cook [Audio only] [2015] [1080p] [2.35:1] [103:00] With this featurette, we get to hear this very interesting audio commentary with Ray Harryhausen and American Special Effects Artist Randall William Cook and it is moderated by Film Historian Tony Dalton and we get hear their very unique in-depth and totally fascinating discussion about the film ‘FIRST MEN IN THE MOON.’
Special Feature: ‘FIRST MEN IN THE MOON’ introduction by Randall William Cook [2012] [1080p] [2.35:1 / 1.78:1] [4:54] With this featurette, we get a nice interesting short introduction to the Columbia Pictures film ‘FIRST MEN IN THE MOON’ by the American Special Effects Artist Randall William Cook who informs us that he is a Ray Harryhausen aficionado and talks about Ray Harryhausen being famous for his totally unique stop-motion animation and feels he a is a true visionary special effects artist that touched every aspect of the film industry with the unique films he made in collaboration with producer Charles H. Schneer and Randall William Cooke says that Ray Harryhausen was a one man band and an idealist, character designer, and animator and a cinematography, and when Ray Harryhausen was a child and went to the cinema to see the film ‘King Kong’ and it totally inspired Ray Harryhausen and helped to inspire Ray Harryhausen in wanting to start working in the motion picture industry on working his unique stop-motion animation in movies.
Special Feature: Terry Schubert on ‘FIRST MEN IN THE MOON’ [2017] [1080p] [2.35:1 / 1.78:1] [4:41] With this featurette, Terry Schubert the Special Effects Assistant and remembers working with the brilliant stop-motion special effects Ray Harryhausen on several films like ‘Mysterious Island’ and ‘Jason and the Argonauts’ at the Slough film studio in London UK and worked with Ray Harryhausen for seven months in a tiny room at the back of the Bowie Film’ studio in the Ipswich Road on the Slough Trading Estate where Ray Harryhausen did all of his brilliant stop-motion special effects. Terry Schubert informs us that his main job with Ray Harryhausen was an electrician where he looked after all the lighting equipment, and Ray Harryhausen taught Terry Schubert how to load up film in the camera and when the film had been processed, would run the film for Ray Harryhausen on a project do the man could check for any faults and Terry Schubert found Ray Harryhausen to be a very nice man to work with and also was very fair, but also found Ray Harryhausen to be a very clever man, and would insist on only working on his own, as he was a one man band. Terry Schubert says he worked for five days with Ray Harryhausen at the Bowie Film’ studio in the Ipswich Road on the Slough Trading Estate and if anyone wanted to see Ray Harryhausen they had to knock on the door first, because the stop-motion animation is such a complicated intricate precise work and any interruption could cause a lot of technical problems, but once Ray Harryhausen had started his stop-motion animation he would not allow anyone to interrupt him in his intense work, but when the film ‘FIRST MEN IN THE MOON’ was completed, Bowie Film’ studio asked Terry Schubert if he would like to work with them and was totally delighted to work with this specialised film unit and never looked back. At that point this featurette with Terry Schubert comes to an end. All the main scenes in the film ‘FIRST MEN IN THE MOON’ were shot at Shepperton Studios. Once again as an added bonus, we get to view a few clips from the film ‘FIRST MEN IN THE MOON.’
Special Feature: Original Men in the Moon [2017] [1080p] [1.78:1 / 2.35:1 / 1.37:1] [16:24] With this featurette, we get to meet Production Manager Ted Wallis and Clapper Loader Ray Andrew who talk about their experiences of working with the cast and crew on the film ‘FIRST MEN IN THE MOON,’ and they say it was a good film to work on, but there were of course challenges the filming schedule, but despite this it was a very happy unit. They also both say producer Charles H. Schneer and looked after the pennies and was 100% notorious in trying to keep the cost down and with all the crew behind his back would call him “Snarly Cheer” because he was always throwing big wobblies about all the money being spent, but despite what has been said about Charles H. Schneer, he was in fact a very good film producer, but he had this mantra saying, “if you can spend 2 pence om something, why spend 10 pence on something,” but they also say that this 1964 film was a very big production that both of them have ever worked on. They both talk about the three main actors, who were Edward Judd, Martha Hyer and Lionel Jefferies and they say they were all very funny people, and they also said the actress Martha Hyer was a giggler and would giggle at any little thing. They also praised Lionel Jefferies in saying he was a very professional actor and also felt he was a very adaptable actor and could play any kind of character without any problems, but was also quite the comedian and especially very talented. They say filming scenes with the first moon landing at the start of the film, that they had nothing to go by as no one had been to the moon for real, in fact it was all guess work. But of course with the actual real first moon landing, they felt they had got it reasonable right to be actually on the moon, and felt very rewarded for all their professional work on the film, and Ted Wallis actually felt they were the first men on the moon. They also said the small moon creatures were all small children in their costumes and they reckon there were at least 50 young children in their costumes, and their scenes were shot on one of the large stages at Shepperton Studios. They gave great praise to the cinematographer Wilkie Cooper, B.S.C. who was a very professional cameraman of the “old school” of filming and always created something really spectacular and was also very clever. They give great praise to Ray Harryhausen who they thought was a real gentleman, but was also very quiet, and just got on with the job and nasty Charles H. Schneer would goad Ray Harryhausen to speed thing up with his stop-motion animation and everyone hated his belligerent nasty attitude, but Ray Harryhausen completely ignored him and just got on with the job at hand. Both of them became very good friend to Ray Harryhausen right up to the time he passed away, and were very upset when Ray Harryhausen was no longer around and they also commented on Ray Harryhausen that “they don’t make them like Harry anymore.” So at that point this interesting featurette comes to an end. Once again with this featurette, we get to view a few more clips of scenes from the film ‘FIRST MEN IN THE MOON.’
Special Feature: The Ripple Effect [2017] [1080p] [2.35:1 / 1.78:1] [3:38] With this featurette, we get a very interesting in-depth candid interview with the Title Designer Sam Suliman for the film ‘FIRST MEN IN THE MOON’ and talks in-depth about the 1964 film and explains in detail how he got the ripple effect in the titles film sequence and all with very limited basic equipment and felt the titles were very dull, compared what to you can now do with modern CGI and computers to film the titles in a much more modern way, and Sam Suliman felt very disappointed what he achieved with the film titles, but the producer was more than happy because he did not want to spend more money on the film titles, but despite this he got paid for the job and is more than happy about that. At that point, this featurette comes to an end, and despite being very short, it was still interesting hearing from Sam Suliman’s comments on working on the film ‘FIRST MEN IN THE MOON.’
