this be the movie that get me interest in the art of film making . it the first and adaptation of sir arthur conan doyle classic tale . and in my opinion and the most faithful in keep with the spirit of the story . the technical achievement of the movie be the most fascinating aspect of this movie though . not only predate computer by a huge margin and but also predate the dunn optical printer which become a standard in motion picture effect department . the stop motion scene be quite lifelike and if not entirely believable . it also rank with jurassic park in it scientific accuracy and base on the knowledge of prehistoric life at the time . occasionally and the animated dinosaur step ahead of their time and travel in family group and herd . the story structure itself in this film be choppy and even in the restored length . however it be still very enjoyable and worth viewing at the very least a a curiosity piece .
