Jason and the Argonauts wouldn’t be as memorable without Ray Harryhausen’s creatures, and who could forget the original King Kong or even fully animated movies like The Nightmare Before Christmas? Not a film you want to watch when you’re in the mood for a feel-good film…it’s quite the opposite. It’s deeply moving, humourous, and will most likely leave quite an impact on you. This is a wonderful, wonderful film.Stop motion animation was key to many of the first special effects in movies. This film will forever hold a small place in my heart, and I highly recommend it.
Mary and Max (2009) – Honestly the greatest stop-motion film I have ever seen. A magical experience one to be treasured!ġ. Coraline (2009) – The animation was almost perfect! For a stop-motion, the flow of it was seamless. Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) – Who doesn’t love Wallace and Gromit?! This was the first ever full-length Wallace and Gromit film, and it certainly will not disappoint fans of the duo. The Wind in the Willows (1983) – There have been several adaptations of The Wind in the Willows, but this one is undoubtedly the best of the bunch! A lovely experience for both children and adults alike.ģ. A film that cleverly combines stylised live action with stop motion sequences.Ĥ. James and the Giant Peach (1996) – Very cleverly crafted. It deserves a little more praise in my opinion. I couldn’t care less about the formulaic plot Chicken Run is and is supposed to be, a feast for the eyes.ĥ. Chicken Run (2000) – Very original. The crafting of the film is absolutely beyond all praise – the details, the mise-en-scene, the characters.
The Box Trolls (2014) – It has a refreshing look that’s unique compared to most in the animation genre out there. Artistically speaking, the animation was incredible!Ħ. Paranorman (2012) – More like “Paranorman Activity”… Great animation and funny characters, though not particularly for children, as initially promoted…ħ. Very different from the rest, unique, and underrated.Ĩ. Frankenweenie (2012) – I wouldn’t exactly advise children to view this film, as it could be seen as quite disturbing for an animation. The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) – Not a favourite in terms of the narrative, but the stop-motion is beautifully done of course in Burton-style!ĩ. Honourable mentions include: Fantastic Mr Fox (2009)– I wasn’t a fan of the film itself, as Wes Anderson films just don’t seem to tickle my fancy, but I can certainly recognise that the stop-motion was done ever so well.ġ0.
For this week’s top ten, I found inspiration from watching Coraline.
