it’s a beauty all right but I don’t
think it’s a marvel it looks like a
pearl stop-motion animation has come a
long way since Gumby rolled into the
public consciousness and these movies
prove it please don’t tell me he needs
to use the bathroom
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
stop-motion animation movies for this
list we’re focusing on full-length films
that employ excellent and innovative
stop motion technique in tandem with
superior scripting direction and design
he’s never shown any interest in my
produce Oh
we’re emitting movies that were not
primarily made with stop-motion
including King Kong Beetlejuice and
jason and the argonauts as well as paper
cutouts stop-motion like South Park 10
ParaNorman
featuring both stop-motion animation and
3d ParaNorman is the ghoulishly
delightful tale of a boy with a problem
he sees dead people also talks to them
this doesn’t make him very popular at
school or at home it’s one thing being a
mental case in front of your family but
not the whole freaking town until one
Halloween when all hell breaks loose
literally deftly animated with a cast of
lovably quirky characters ParaNorman
really raises the spirits again
literally
you appear very happy and I think you
would smell like a shrimp as I know
Australia has a lot of shrimps number
nine Mary and Max Mary had given max a
taste of real friendship and there was
just no comparison not many animated
films deal with depression poverty
agoraphobia autism anxiety obesity and
soul destroying loneliness people laugh
at me when I wear my helmet I’m not sure
why that mary and max focuses on these
issues and manages to be uplifting warm
and really funny is a testament to the
incredible skill that went into its
making the stop-motion animation in this
Australian film is distinctively lovely
and provides just the right mixture of
reality and stylization I have reached a
cold
Ethel that looks like this he doesn’t my
expert will one day you’ll be mine
number eight corpse bride Tim Burton
co-directed this off-kilter beauty of a
film and it has his stamp all over it
faith in sorry after all what other
filmmaker would make a film about a
Victorian era man who accidentally
marries a corpse as if that has anything
to do with marriage with Burton
mainstays Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham
Carter providing voices Corpse Bride is
another Burton project that finds beauty
in the unlikeliest places who knew dead
bodies could be so enchanting
I over his cry at weddings
number seven James and the Giant Peach
Tim Burton produced this adaptation of
Roald Dahl’s James and the Giant Peach
but director Henry Selig managed to put
his own stamp on the material the story
of a little boy traveling in a Giant
Peach with some equally giant bug
friends it’s a captivating little fable
with enough tartness to keep adults
entertain seal it brilliantly blends
stop-motion animation with live-action
to create a unique motion picture
experience with your nose so bright
won’t you guide my sleigh tonight
number six Rudolph the red-nosed
reindeer a classic is a classic and they
don’t come more classic than Rudolph the
red-nosed reindeer yes the animation in
this 1964 special is a little jerky when
compared with modern films it needs work
but it has an endearing charm that
overcomes this slight flaw throw in a
tuneful score truly lovable characters
someday I’d like to be a sweetly simple
story and delightful design and it’s no
wonder generation after generation keeps
falling in love with Rudolph and friends
what’s the matter
haven’t you ever seen a talking snowman
before welcome back
is it a new plan number five chicken run
oh right Peter Lord and Nick Park made
the leap from short films to feature
productions with the hysterical chicken
run and then getting stuffed and roast
it is good enough for you is it it’s a
living
these distinctively lumpy animated
figures have a style all their own and
the characters are irresistible
from Mel Gibson’s braggart rocky we’ve
been working too hard
Julia Sawalha is ingenious ginger –
Miranda Richardson’s malicious mrs.
Tweedy
the screenplay is on the nose with ample
opportunity for both slapstick and
excitement and Lordan Park nail each and
every opportunity
number four wallace and gromit the curse
of the where rabbit Nick parks
delightful wallace and gromit characters
one of following with their short films
but those were just a warm-up for the
full-length Wallace & Gromit the curse
of the where rabbit they must be
breathing like whoa rapid gently poking
fun at British eccentricities horror
movies and small-town festivals the film
has a warmth and rosiness that doesn’t
keep it from going for low laughs when
it wants and that’s all to the good
number three fantastic mr. Fox
I like your ears thank you I like your
spots really I used to cover them up but
uh you know that’s you’re supposed to be
my lab partner there’s not a whisker out
of place on the fantastic mr. Fox wes
anderson’s take on Roald Dahl’s
children’s tale you should probably put
your bandit hat on now personally I I
don’t have one but I modified this tube
sock Anderson’s keen eye for detail
whether in setting or in character is in
full force here yet it doesn’t overwhelm
the story it just serves to make it
richer and fuller aided by a knock your
socks off cast that includes George
Clooney Meryl Streep Bill Murray and
Willem Dafoe so let’s raise our boxes to
our survival what are you doing here in
the middle of the night you’re just in
time for supper dear number two Coraline
I don’t like being stopped he’s kind of
fair Coraline is a near-perfect
rendering of Neil Gaiman’s dark and
disturbing children’s book director
Henry Selick creates images and
sequences that are both stunning and
terrifying the sense of menace at times
is wonderfully palpable as soon as
you’re through eating I thought we’d
play a game Coraline is mesmerizing
wrapping the viewer up in its story and
its universe it’s a scary place to visit
but one you will always treasure darling
why would you run away from me
before we animate our top pick here are
a few honorable mentions we love in the
face of danger remember
Byron Cassie
number one The Nightmare Before
Christmas what’s this what’s this what’s
this his wife things in detail the one
that started the modern wave of
stop-motion animation Tim Burton’s The
Nightmare Before Christmas was produced
by Burton but directed by Henry Selig
let me show you the film is a glorious
combination of their talents with a dark
brooding surface that hides a sweet and
beguiling tale of love redemption and
freaky characters nightmare brought
attention and excitement to stop-motion
animation at a time when it had fallen
into disfavor and showed what skill
imagination and talent could do with the
genres the next time you get the urge to
take over someone else’s holiday I’d
listen to her she’s the only one who
makes any sense around this insane
asylum play our next piece do you agree
