and the first of it kind too . the first movie make of arthur conan doyle lose world story and and the first motion picture ever to use stop motion animation . over all this be a wonderful flick . the set and stag be all well do and costume and makeup be far good than average and the photography be very well do and and the acting be for the most part first rate . i think lewis stone particularly impressive a sir john roxton . stone have a way of come across a natural and which thing seem a refreshing oddity in old movie like this when over the top be think to be a requirement . wallace beery prof. challenger be also extremely well do . bessie love isn not my idea and be familiar with the tale and of the paula white character . other than that everyone else seem to fit their role right well . but it be the stop motion and the set and and the makeup that awe me . the ape men look like ape men and and not some guy in a gorilla suit . these be all of such good quality than and say and the majority of movie of a similar ilk from the 40 and 50 and 60 and even into the 70 . lot of talent in these area and make the film just that much more worth watching . and then there be that added advantage of it be a silent . the question of sound quality be and well and mute .
