Animated movies like Nightmare before Christmas?

Wallace & Gromit have two movies out. Those are funny if you can understand a bit of that Brit humor, what's all this then?

 

Great movie and a favorite around our house.

Corpse bride is another stop motion movie as is Coraline. I'll try to remember some others.

Start with nightmare even though you just missed the peak viewing season between halloween and Christmas.

 

Dude that created Gumby just died

 

Haven't seen it, but it falls in the criteria you are searching for.

 

I believe he is looking for actual hand-then-rotoscope animation... you know, with REAL dolls just moved one frame at a time? 9 was good, but it was all animated on the computer.

Tim Burton is pretty weird. McGravy, are you only looking for WeIrD movies, or the ones animated like N.B.C.?

 

Might be too dark for you but:

The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb

When I was in Art School I started getting into stop action and this was my movie.

One of the best clay animations by far

 

Coraline - Tim Burton

I enjoyed it alot, keep in mind it was presented in 3D. But cool movie none the less.

 

Wallace and Gromett is good too.

Wasn't "Chicken Run" claymation too?

 

This, Coraline was one of the better movies of last year.

 

Kick it old school with the Sinbad series and the Stop Motion work by Ray Harryhausen He mastered the craft long ago.

Also, the original Clash of the Titans.

 

Those old Rankin Bass movies like Mad Monster Party, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, and other holiday themed specials.

Wind in the Willows

Then there are the art films from people like Jan Svankmajer and the Brothers Quay.

That's CGI.

 

A lot of the original Tool videos were stop-motion and rather weird.

yes, by Nick Park of Wallace and Gromit fame...

 

Time Burton did NOT directed Coraline. Burton only directed Corpse Bride.

Henry Selick directed Coraline, The Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach.

I totally love stop motion. The lighting, props and sets design are totally top notch. The palettes are so rich in colors. You will not get this quality from CGI animation rendering. Not yet at this moment since rendering time are too expensive to have the quality look of stop motion. I wished they would invest more into stop animation. You should check THIS out. You should Youtube some of the shorts stop animation especially the one

 

I was going to say "Chicken Run" but someone already said it, but I second that.

 

You should watch the making of extras if you do pick up Coraline. It is mind blowing how much work goes into the stop motion. Really makes you appreciate the end product that much more.
