Thanks for this. And thanks for approaching the subject with what some might think is too much personal passion. The balance is perfect. Harryhausen deserves to be approached as a unique artist for the simple reason that he was unique. There is no way to overestimate his influence on filmmakers and audiences.

The animation I admire the most? Any time he had to demolish a building, doesn't matter the film. Seeing all those chunks of masonry individually falling and smashing down, some rotating as they fall., all with a feel of real bricks and concrete shattering. That's amazing.

For a complete change of pace, I'd say Wallace and Grommit are my favorite animated pieces, especially the bank robber penguin. The way they use its non expressive beak to convey a career avian criminal is fantastic.
