* Speaking of Shout Outs, two stop-motion films that came out in the same year had the exact same nod to the man: both ''WesternAnimation/TheCurseOfTheWereRabbit'' and ''WesternAnimation/CorpseBride'' had a "Harryhausen" piano in there.

* ''Film/JurassicPark'' has a scene where the ''Tyrannosaurus'' lunges out from cover, grabs a ''Gallimimus'', and shakes it to death in a manner very similar to the titular character from ''Film/TheValleyOfGwangi'' ambushing a ''Struthiomimus''. This scene was animated by Creator/PhilTippett, a lifelong fan of Harryhausen.
* While it mostly uses the traditional PeopleInRubberSuits that comes standard with ''[[{{Toku}} Tokusatsu]]'', ''Film/KamenRiderZO'' features a stop motion fight with a giant spider monster that is rather Harryhausen-esque.



* ''Film/PacificRim'', while not directly related, is stated to be a tribute to both Ray Harryhausen and fellow Monster movie creator Creator/IshiroHonda.
* ''Sinbad: The 5th Voyage'' is a GenreThrowback to the aforementioned Harryhausen ''Sinbad'' movies, going as far as using actual stop motion animation (albeit far more technologically advanced) for the creatures.
* ''WesternAnimation/SinbadLegendOfTheSevenSeas'' is, in many ways, an homage to Harryhausen's body of work, combining the Sinbad and Greek mythology films into a single setting full of giant monsters. Especially in the "Cyclops Island" short included on the home video version: Sinbad's reaction to encountering the one-eyed giants is [[Film/The7thVoyageOfSinbad "Not again!"]]

* ''VideoGame/AgeOfMythology'' has several Greek myth units based directly on Harryhausen's version of them - cyclops, bronze giants and medusa, for example.



* The {{Cyclops}} in the Platform/PlayStation game for ''Videogame//XenaWarriorPrincess'' was quite obviously modeled on the ones from ''Film/The7thVoyageOfSinbad'' complete with a horn on its forehead and (if you use the camera to see its lower body) satyr-like legs.

* ''Film/The7thVoyageOfSinbad'' - Swashbuckling [[SeaStories nautical]] fantasy adventure in ArabianNightsDays. His first full-length color film, and TropeCodifier for Harryhausen, introducing one of his most iconic creatures: the [[DemBones living skeleton]], as well as a {{Cyclops}}, some two-headed RocBirds, and a [[OurDragonsAreDifferent flightless dragon]]. Despite its title, this was the first of three films Harryhausen would make about Literature/SinbadTheSailor.

Inspired by the works of Willis O'Brien (''Film/TheLostWorld'' and ''Film/{{King Kong|1933}}'' most notably), he became the most prominent StopMotion animator in the film industry from TheFifties all the way to TheEighties and worked on such classics as ''Film/JasonAndTheArgonauts'', ''Film/{{Clash of the Titans|1981}}'', three ''Literature/SinbadTheSailor'' films (''Film/The7thVoyageOfSinbad'', ''Film/TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad'' and ''Film/SinbadAndTheEyeOfTheTiger''), as well as some of the most notable UsefulNotes/{{dinosaur|s}} films of the pre-''Film/JurassicPark'' era.
