Is anyone else out there fond of the fantasy films of Karel Zeman? For some time, probably the most accessible of his work was JOURNEY TO THE BEGINNING OF TIME, which would turn up on TV and even on a VHS tape from GoodTimes Home Video. Englewood eventually released a tape of THE FABULOUS WORLD OF JULES VERNE (now out of print) and another company released an impossible to find (and now also out of print) ON THE COMET.
Although not nearly as well known as, say, Ray Harryhausen, Zeman's films combined live action, miniatures, glass paintings and stop-motion animation to create some unique cinematic fairy tales.
