Re: The best Stopmotion films ever made.

Best stopmotion film? Hmm...that's tough...I'm going to say The Nightmare Before Christmas as it was the film that got me interested in the art form in the first place...of course, you definitely can't go wrong with Wallace and Gromit, or any of the Classic Brickfilms.

...Oh, and Rankin Bass Holiday Specials.

Cheers!

Re: The best Stopmotion films ever made.

I once saw a stop motion with clay film, I just don't remember well, it was something with cakes or ice, on a majestuous symphony, that went alive and began to walk in rythm. I'll try to find it... ANyway, that was the most awesome stop mo movie i've ever seen.

Easily my number one favorite animated short of all time.  Did you know it was the first ever stop motion film to be shot using an IMAX camera?  Damn... what I'd give to see that shown on a full IMAX screen.

You haven't seen MORE until you've seen it on DVD (unless you've seen it on IMAX. That tiny postage stamp does not give the films scale or detail any justice.

Yeah, it is also my favorite short film, I thought it was leagues better than the short that beat it out for the Oscar, Bunny, which is saying something since that is a good short in itself.  Admittedly I haven't seen MORE on DVD or of course IMAX.  Sadly the filmmakers lost a lot of money on it what with the expenses of the IMAX format, though I think they might have eventually broken even with DVD sales.

I have it on DVD, and it's beautiful.  The special features are also very interesting.  The packaging, too, is remarkable.

MORE's DVD packaging is equal to, if not better, then most Criterion Collection DVD releases, it was ABSOLUTELY worth $25, I HIGHLY recommend the DVD.

The Nightmare Before Christmas. Though, maybe I should watch Coraline before I make that claim.
