Turner Classic Movies is having a night-long birthday tribute to Ray Harryhausen next Wednesday, June 29th. In addition to signatures like Mighty Joe Young and Earth vs. the Flying Saucers, they'll be showing rare stop-motion animated shorts from early on in his career. Harryhausen made these fairy tale-themed films in his garage, but they're as technically dazzling as his feature film work. One of them, "The Tortoise and the Hare", went unfinished for more than 50 years until it was completed by two Harryhausen fans - with the master's blessing.
