Line 51:
* He had an upscale restaurant named after him in [[Pixar]]'s [[Monsters, Inc.]]. A very fitting [[Shout-Out]].
** Speaking of Shout Outs, two stop-motion films that came out in the same year had the exact same nod to the man: both ''[[Wallace and Gromit|Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-rabbit]]'' and ''[[Corpse Bride]]'' had a "Harryhausen" piano in there.
* One episode of ''[[Swat Kats]]'', ''Bride of the Pastmaster'', had two of its three [[Cyclopean Creature|Cyclops]] adorned with horns on their foreheads like the ones in ''[[The 7th Voyage of Sinbad]]''.

* The ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]]'' series deserves a mention, as the series draws a lot of inspiration from Harryhausen's movies, namelt the [[Greek Mythology]] inspired ones. In particular, the second game includes several shout outs, including fighting skeletons while following [[Jason and the Argonauts]].
* The [[Cyclopean Creature|Cyclops]] in the [[PlayStation]] game for ''[[Xena: Warrior Princess]]'' was quite obviously modeled on the ones from ''[[The 7th Voyage of Sinbad]]'' complete with a horn on its forehead and (if you use the camera to see its lower body) satyr-like legs.
* Several [[Killer Instinct 2]] characters pay homage to Harryhausen's movies, notably Spinal and Eyedoll.
