I remember when I was a kid I used to get this one confused with Valley of the Gwangi (1969) all the time on the late show... and while Gwangi is a billion times better than this film, it's still a fun little diversion with a nice 50's ACG pre-code vibe--- and of course stopmotion animation (no matter how primitive) is always a plus in my book!
