While this movie won't set any imaginations on fire, the tongue on the T-rex is by far the best thing going in the animation sequences. It HAS to be the inspiration for Gene Simmons of KISS...long, independent movement with a mind of its own. It is hard to believe this was done in 1956 for the quality of the cinemascope color and resolution; which is quite good...the white-washing may have some modern day "activists" on their toes screaming for "justice" but remember, it's a product of it's time. Enjoy it for what it is. A B-movie monster flick with the genuinely unique idea of crossing two genres that were on fire at the time (westerns and stop motion animation fantasy/sci-fi) together like chocolate and peanut butter....unfortunately, it just didn't leave the same delicious after taste.
