Small,just when black and white turned gaudy TECHNICOLOR!
eye saw the art of Ray in Jason &The Argonauts.The jump cut monsters scared me
with a certain unreal cartoon almost 3D feeling that made mythology into reality
More Saturday Matinees due to Ray-always making monsters that even Steve Reeves believed
It was no way to learn Greek Myths-many liberties were taken via Hollywood
yet the gaudy brightness captivated me right up to Godard's BREATHLESS
Now screens are awash with cartoon movies-DREAMWORKS to PIXAR
yet the original KING KONG still captivates more than its many remakes
and his bold brave claymation suffuses WALLACE&GROMMIT
as well as so many Film Festival cartoon shorts.Ray made clay magic-like Bob Mud
Original always the best-the rest can follow after with Ray's laughter
echoing down those creative individual cycles round one sun..
