    He was a real hero of mine when I saw his movies on a Saturday matinee, the Sinbad ones.

    They were something to see on the big screen scary as a kid. particularly the Cyclops when he was cooking those men.

    He was still alive??? R.I.P. to the master of stop-motion animation.

    He and Willis O'Brian were the greatest of their eras. Today we don't have artists like them, just hundreds of no-names computer nerds.

    Just listened to a segment about him today on NPR

    I didn't know who he was, really, until I heard the segment. RIP

    I'm not a huge fan of them but even Nick Park and Aardman are switching to computer animation now, it's sad to see

    Absolute legend o' a man. Loved 'Jason and the Argonauts' and 'Clash o' the Titans'.

    RIP Big Man
