The 1962 film provides examples of:
Accidental Innuendo : The leprechaun imploring Jack to "seize the bone!" smacks of this. Ensemble Dark Horse : Gaunt! Per Rifftrax everybody loves that bird. Moment of Awesome : Admittedly, Jack killing Cormoran the Giant is done really well. The giant reptilian Kraken coming to Jack and Elaine's rescue, managing to kill the two-headed giant via strangulation followed by a Dope Slap . Special Effect Failure : The Stop Motion creatures in particular, look more like Gumby than any Ray Harryhausen creature they were meant to copy. That metal support thingy used to keep the "Kraken" puppet steady that the animators forgot to edit out of a frame or two. It appears for a moment and vanishes, but thanks to the jerky and choppy animation, it can plainly be spotted without the need of freeze-framing.
