This DVD is not only a real treat for any audience, but an absolutely essential disc for fans of fantasy films and stop-motion animation. Apart from the movie itself, which has received a beautiful transfer, the disc comes with a pair of supplementary shorts in which Ray Harryhausen (joined by producer Charles Schneer and star Kerwin Mathews for one of the featurettes and John Landis for the other) discusses his work in detail on The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad and Jason and the Argonauts. Additionally, the disc includes the 1958-vintage featurette "This Is Dynamation," which introduced Harryhausen's technique to audiences ahead of the release of The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad. The crowning element of the supplement, however, is "The Ray Harryhausen Chronicle," a brilliant, hour-long documentary on the filmmaker narrated by Leonard Nimoy that gives a close look at Harryhausen's entire career, culminating with his winning of an Oscar in 1992. The supplements on this disc could easily keep viewers busy for a night before they get to the movie itself. The menu pops up automatically on start-up and is very easy to manipulate, especially as a means of accessing the supplements. The trailers from all of the Harryhausen films for Columbia Pictures also make an entertaining diversion. The movie is transferred about as well as it's ever likely to be shown, with deep, rich colors to most of the costumes and sets, as well as a deep, loud audio track that gives full play to Bernard Herrmann's music and the array of sound effects accompanying the various monsters onscreen.
