Special effects creator Ray Harryhausen is offering his life's work to the National Media Museum. Harryhausen, 90 yesterday, was behind dozens of stop-motion creatures which featured in films such as the original "Clash Of The Titans" and "Jason And The Argonauts". The museum, in Bradford, will be able to display the collection if it can raise the funds to preserve it!
