I'm a huge fan of Zeman's pictures. I have that good ol' Goodtimes VHS of Journey to ghe Beginning of Time (one of the best-looking transfers that label ever did), and a VHS of On the Comet. A couple of years ago I also found on eBay an official-release VHS (at least, I'm 99 percent sure it's an official release) of Zeman's Baron Munchausen. I also have a decidedly UNofficial VHS of the original Czech version of Journey to the Beginning of Time, Cesta do praveku.

Concentrating as I tend to do in the dinosaur/prehistoric genre, I have a particular fondness for Journey to the Beginning of Time and On the Comet, which are Zeman's two feature films with dinosaurs. Maybe a CHFB-er can help me out regarding a pair of short films that Zeman did which also featured prehistoric beasts: the English titles are The Black Diamond and Excursion to the Universe. The only info I've ever found on them was in an issue of Fantascene (which I believe someone mentioned earlier in this thread), which actually had a photo or two from them, if memory serves. Any comments whatsoever about these short films, especially if anyone has any idea how I could lay my hands on a video copy of them, would be greatly appreciated!
