That looked like some Ray Harryhausen-type stop-motion. Given the time it was produced and the medium it was produced for, I think they did pretty well. Computer effects technology was not that advanced back then; ILM had only begun pioneering the field at that time. Really good morphing effects wouldn’t come along until The Abyss and Terminator 2.
Classic scene! It was 1983, and I don’t think the term CGI existed back then. It certainly didn’t the year before when Tron was all the rage. I remember that giving me the willies at age fifteen!
Nooooo! Don’t eat the guinea pigs, love them! Did you hear it wheeking? U_U How can you even thinking of them as food . . . well, aside from the obvious. Its times like this when I’m not 100% sure if my family is joking when they talk about eating my guinea pig.
O_o Those were some pretty bad CGI effects. Unless that was the top of the era computing power then. Still, just…wow…
lol! CGI? You give them too much credit dude.
Come on everyone knows back then they had to eat the hamster..
om nom nom nom! :O
Lol, that was 1984, no cgi-all make up and, in this case, animatronics or puppetry.

D’oh! My comment was the same as Scott’s Tweet for this XD
My mum has been to peru and eaten guinea pig. Not whole but she said it tasted like chicken, as does everything!

I think I’m in love!
It’s like a Richard Gere joke, but backwards
Guinea pig tastes like rabbit, and that does not taste like chicken, is much better.
One of my co-workers is Peruvian, and she wants to try Cuy on me. I’m game for that, but not live and whole. Heh heh.
My memory says that it was better the first time I saw it. hmmmm
