Nice video on classic pre-CGI "analog" VFX from 70s-90s (www.youtube.com)

There are also some gems in there about how old and constant underplaying the amount of VFX in a film is.

From the video, Stand By Me had a VFX shot (the train bridge scene, of course) but no one was allowed to talk about that. And of course The Fugitive train crash scene had to have "real trains" even though it's all mostly miniatures.

They try to get as many actual vfx people as they can, and have had quite a few. Veterans much less so because well they’re old I guess … or higher ups now.

They had for instance Gareth Edwards (Rogue One, Creator) on once, and the makers the Foundation TV show. And others.
