Things We Learned from watching this film ... ( WITH SPOILERS )
1. When the locals say - " Don't go to the hidden valley ! "
it really means - DON'T GO TO THE HIDDEN VALLEY ? !
2. A Gwangi is smart enough to break out of it's own metal cage by swatting it's big tail against the cage door .
3. That even though the real animals were not being treated directly cruel in this film
( clay animals were used in those scenes )
it still sends the message that animal cruelty is a normal part of life
( of course people of that time didn't know any better ?
plus this is not the first film to have done this before but still isn't right either way ) .
4. The Gwangi got his / her own end credit scene in this film too .
5. All the claymation animals and stand in people were made very well for this movie .
6. That young Lope was a very lucky boy to have escaped being a meal for the pterodactyl
( or flying dinosaur ? ) .
7. It was right for the locals to set the little horse free ( forgot it's technical name ? ) .
8. That even though this film had it's few flaws it still was a good adventure movie just the same .
( Please continue on folks ... )
