I read Joe Hanson's post The Evolution of Tyrannosaurus rex this morening (i.e. yesterday, relative to this appearing) about the correction of the posture of Mr. T as depicted in various media over the years.

 

[T]he tail-dragger myth persisted, and in 1988’s
The Land Before Time
(which, let’s face it, is where most of us first formed our images of dinosaurs) Sharptooth was frustratingly upright

 

I remember thinking that I'm not going to face it, because it's quite possible our first glimpse of dinos, including an upright T. rex, was (as it was for me) in a movie was as a stop-action clip made possible by the wizardry of Ray Harryhausen.

 

And, later in the day, it was announce that Ray had passed.

 

So here's a video, which includes an upright, posturically-incorrect, rexie, along with similarly-depicted Allosaurs, Ceratosaurs and Sceraptosaurs.

 

[A] compliation of every Ray Harryhausen animated creature in feature films, presented in chronological order.
