Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe live action scenes and a majority of the stop motion effects were all filmed in 1994, but David Allen, the director, had passed away due to cancer in 1999. The studio that was making this movie, Full Moon Studios, was also having financial issues so they had to keep postponing the production of the movie, until they ran out of money and had to shelf it. In 2019, after an online fundraising campaign, the original effects artist, Chris Endicott, returned to complete the remaining stop motion sequences.
- Alternate versionsTwo edits were created, one for general release, and an extended version for home media which includes storyboarded sequences of additional scenes that were never animated.

Featured review
Weird. A new movie from a director that died 25 years ago.
A movie that is brand new and yet very dated.
I loved watching the original Jason and the Argonauts as a kid and this took me back in a good way to the stop motion genius of Ray Harryhausen.
It has be said that this is not of that quality. The plot is quite silly. The acting is generally weak from (apart from Judith Mills) a bunch of nobodies.
That being said, the film is rather light hearted, good natured and zips along without outstaying its welcome.
The film is worth seeing if only for the story attached to the making of it. Check out the trivia section.
Nice to see a movie that wasn't created for modern audiences again.
