A very young Ray Harryhausen created some footage for a never realized film called Evolution which later on was used to show the major studios the power of his work. The film footage has some of the hallmarks that we would later see in Mr. Harryhausen's other works. The trademark expressions, & mannerism of his creatures are all there.
The project was literally the story of life on Earth told through the eyes of a very young Harryhausen. He became discouraged when he saw Fantasia. This short sequence of the never realized project gives insight into his later works.

Still its a fascinating glimpse into a highly ambitious project that was never realized. Its a nice peek into a what if that never came about.
