The blending of the dinosaur in the water with the kids in the boat is seamless. It's only slightly obvious that the head of the dinosaur uses puppeteering, which is far more realistic than the stop-motion animation that was so big at the time. All this from a Czech film??? Crazy! <div style="font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">EDIT:</span> I just noticed that the reason the kids in the boat looking on when the dinosaur has entered the water looks seamless is because IT IS. The kids in the boat in the background of that shot are also puppets. Something I didn't catch at all the first time I watched, and only just now noticed because I was looking so hard at it. </div><div style="font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">EDIT 2:</span> Having checked out a few other scenes from the film, I noticed that there is indeed a great deal of stop-motion animation used in it. Just not in that particular scene above. Even so, the stop-motion seems on par with the great Ray Harryhausen.</div> | Vaporman87 | Apr 06, 2016 | |

| 30817 | Weird cartoons | Edd, who produced that cartoon? The animation seems very similar to Roger Ramjet, Peabody & Sherman, and others. | Vaporman87 | Apr 06, 2016 | |
