Interesting facts

The Story of The Tortoise & the Hare is a 2002 stop motion short film directed and animated by Ray Harryhausen. It is based on the Aesop fable The Tortoise and the Hare.

Production

Harryhausen began making the film in 1952, but abandoned it soon after, with only about 4 minutes of film completed. Around 50 years later, Seamus Walsh and Mark Caballero, two young fans of Harryhausen's work, learned about the unfinished film and asked Harryhausen if they could finish it with him. He said yes and the short was finally completed in 2002, 50 whole years since Harryhausen had started the production.
