20 Million Miles to Earth (1957)/The Valley of Gwangi (1969)

Ray Harryhausen did an incredible realistic job of animating a model elephant in two of his movies, 20 Million Miles to Earth, and The Valley of Gwangi. In both films, the elephant is engaged in a fight with another of Ray's animated creatures.
