Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When Perseus tames Pegasus, in the close-up of him jumping onto Pegasus' back, it is clearly an ordinary white horse, not the winged Pegasus.

I love this movie. I remember when it made it's debut in 1981. Sure the stop motion special effects used in the movie were just about at their end by that time, but that does not detract one iota from the story. Special effects DO NOT make a movie. Good acting and story do, period.
The movie of course is based on the Greek myth of Perseus. It follows the original myth rather well but of course there was some artistic license taken. A few of my favorite scenes were the encounter with the three blind witches, the crossing of the River Styx and of course the showdown with Medusa.
I fully recommend you see the movie and remember, don't pay the ferryman until he gets you to the other side.
