Just having Ray Harryhausen on movie as co-producer and making all those animated puppies of T-Rex-Allosaurus, Pterodactyl, Elephant, Styracosaurus and most creative is quite sure the little Eohippus the most ancient forefather of the horse, the story took place on Mexico in turn of the last century, where the adventurer Tuck Kirby (James Franciscus) meets his former girlfriend T.J. Beckenridge (Gila Golan) owner of an itinerant low profile show of the old west in a bull arena, a team member called Carlos already catch at forbidden valley a small horse Eohippus that they covertly trained to the show, somehow the old Professor Bromley (Laurence Naismith) a paleontologist with help from a old Gypsy woman kidnapped he little horse to return where he belongs, a bunch of cowboys went to the forbidden valley, there they found a narrow entrance through the rocks to a time capsule of the past, actually 50 million years where several dinosaurs lives, shot on location at Ciudad Encantada nearby Cuenca Spain, a fabulous wildest spot where a large area of the rocks with strange shapes from cretaceous period remains until today untouchable by humans, just eroded by rains and winds, in this pre-historic environment the our wizard Ray Harryhausen wisely uses as perfect backdrop to display is unique technical skills on exhaustive and complex stop-motion frame by frame, worth to see this great job from this master!!
