El mundo perdido

In 1912 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle imagined a world where extinct prehistoric creatures and tribes of hominids still live and captured it all in a magnificent novel. Approximately ten years later (directed by Harry O. Hoyt), Willis Harold O’Brien, one of the pioneers of a primitive animation technique known as stop-motion, decided to turn the popular writer’s fantasy into an ingenuous yet magical super-production. Finally brought to the screen in 1925 and partly based on the original, The Lost World narrates the story of George Edward Challenger’s unfortunate expedition, a teacher ready to demonstrate the existence of a lost world in the unexplored Brazilian jungle… First adaptation of a classic literature adventure.
