Great info, Gare -- no wonder the movement was much smoother in Dragonslayer...part of the animation evolution. I agree on the Star Wars chess game and especially those scenes with the Tauntauns which were so jerky in motion.

I liked Harryhausen's "Jason and the Argonauts" and "Clash of the Titans" even though those fx weren't so smooth and other things far less realistic. That stop motion work must have really been time consuming.

Thanks for the Go-Motion info!
