Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark Intro (Made With Stop-Motion Animation)

A fantastic piece of work that took 6 months to create.




UPDATE: Unfortunately the sound has been muted by Youtube due to a copyright claim because, apparently, George Lucas (or is it Disney) is not rich enough yet. Greedy b******s.

Oh please someone enlighten him



I like how it says at the beginning that "everyone knows Big Trouble in Little China is a flawless film", which is funny because I doubt many people have actually seen it... (I haven't). Unless of course it's ironic. In which case, it is indeed meant to be funny.
