Pre-rendered graphics are lovely! Cool seeing a skullduggery pleasant, loved that as a teen! What a great skeleton holding your controller, good strong bones on him! I've been to 2 haunted houses, and both times I actual took the wrong door and left the house😂 well they where actually a farm so I guess it was a huanted farm, but that dosent sound as scary! Carving pumpkins is hard! Pumkin Jack is one I'm looking forward to, waiting for that physical release from limited run so should have it for next Halloween! Spooky stuff is fun!

Code Lyoko was a show I passed up at the time because I was one of *those* kinds of anime fans who was mad at the show for taking airtime away from anime. (Yet I had no problem with Megas XLR) Which is a shame, because it definitely seems like the kind of show I would have loved as a kid.

great vid!! i remember watching code lyoko as a youngin and always enjoyed it. and as an adult it was cool to catch the ending eps i never got to experience as a kid. also your art of aileta is awesome i thought it was a pic from the show!!!

this is so cool to see! I wish I was there so I could see all the detail on those models up close, I bet it must feel magical c: edit: thanks for sharing btw, cool video!!! :D

Would anyone be happy to see a wave of rats thundering towards them? I love when you where talking about the close deaths and robot trying to kill you seemed like the tamest😅 Code Lyoko is one I'll have to watch, surprised I never heard of it! Over the garden wall is one I love and might have to give a wee rematch soon!

Great video Iris!

Wow, your art certainly experienced a glow-up in such a short time!

Wonderful assessment of this timeless art form. All my favorites are present and accounted for. If you haven't already, I recommend seeking out some paper cutout animation. There aren't too many noteworthy examples, the only ones that come to mind are The Adventures of Prince Achmed (THE first fully-animated feature ever, predating Snow White by 11 years), the 1983 movie Twice Upon A Time, Terry Gilliam's animations for Monty Python's Flying Circus and the original South Park shorts, but they show that stop-motion can be made with something other than 3-dimensional puppets.

Like any business, as soon as the means of movie production become faster and cheaper, the people with money are going to pivot to that. There is always going to be an audience for stop-motion and any movie made with a low- to mid-tech process like it, but they'll only get made if there's a guarantee that the audience is going to show up for it, because, again, the goal of any business is to get people to pay for what you've made.

YAY!

WOAHH !! id give everything to see their sets and puppets in real life their movies are everything to me ❤️❤️

what is with the 3D skelton

Hi! 😁Just popping in here to share some more games that have been mentioned to me/I found since this video went up: -The Midnight Walk was very recently announced! -Hylics 1 + 2 -Platypus Reclayed -Scarlet Deer Inn -Feltopia -Clayfighter

I’m seeing recently people are making stop motion in programs like SFM and blender now. Thought you might enjoy that fact

I HIGLY recomend the newer Flåklypa (pinchcliff)- movies as well. They are claymotion, and very beautifull. There are one where they go to the moon in a homemade spaceship, and another one where they try to get a cheese from one place to the other. It is very fun to see the different machienes Reodor Felgen makes.

Really an Svankmajer, Quay brothers and Jiri Trinka hehehe, It's other world. Funny, everytime cgi, ai or whatever they always saying it's going to die. It's just dumb media propaganda, just like the 2000, 666, 2012, COVID end of the world

One of my favourites is "The Tower" or "Tarnet" directed by Mats Grorud about a little palestinian girl in a lebanese refugee camp. Insanely relevant of course, but also just so beautiful and sweet and caring. There's also in fact a whole scene of Lego/brickfilm-Animation on KZbin, quite obscure but some gems. Has the weirdest stuff like "WHERE IS MY DOG PIKO?!?!?!" by Sonjira and the sweetest like "Trans Youth USA" by Brickstorming. Proud to call myself part of that community :) As I am also working on a stop motion feature for some years right now, it was quite fun to see all those different styles and ideas combined here! Sure hope stop motion stays... With recent hits and bigger projects like Guillermo del Toros Pinocchio, it might even get a bit more popular for once ^^

Meet the Robinsons should have took the stop motion route

The works of Harryhausen or O’Brien are so good, that even to this day, monster fans will still sing their praises about their work on many movies Also I love the stop motion from Primal Rage, it has such a classic feel

You know I’m an animator because when I heard 2-6 seconds a week I went “that’s so much” help why did I choose this to be my major (/j I love animation it’s so fun, you just need to be a special brand of crazy to do it) (Edit- oh shit never hood was mentioned- my dad did concept art but cut ties with his work cuz the creator turned into a psycho)

You are special. I like you!

Fantastic Mister Fox was also cool.

I used to do StopMotion back at school but it was kind of crap. But still fun to watch. A couple of people even asked me if I did some new stuff over the holidays... xD

I can't believe I saw this film when it came out in theatres and how I wasn't scared of it, because 15 years later I'm thinkign wth was wrong with kid me LOL

I honestly hate it when people say that “Stop Motion” is creepy when so much time and effort is put into it, it’s a medium I’ve always appreciated ever since I was young.

Stop motion has the potential to become the 2d pixel art indie game of the movie world when movie makers don't want to create what people want the people Will do it instead

Really cool video, surprised you didn't mention gmod animations though

i was waiting for gumby to be shown lol, my parents have it on VHS!

There is a stop motion cut scene in the game black myth wukong. It is really cool

God I love stop motion

some great media suggestion in there, thanks!

For stop motion around the world, some scenes from Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio were filmed in Mexico. Guillermo has been wanting to boost Mexico's presence in the world of animation and has been supporting young animators in his home country, which gives me pride as a mexican myself. As for stop motion in Video games. Theres a RPGMaker game called "Hylics" developed by Mason Lindroth. It reminds me of early claymation like Gumby with a more dark and surreal atmosphere. You should check it out if you can !

Part of why it is dying is because of how Laika treats their animators. While I didn't want to believe that was true, doing a deep dive on Laika's business practices and how it was formed was eye-opening and at the same time, sickening. While you may love Coraline and Paranorman, Laika isn't doing us any favors. Treating their employees as dispensable as abusing them is the true reason why we're losing stop motion. Much of this information began leaking online about three years ago. While I'd like to commend this video for your enjoyment of stop motion... There's so much more to know, especially the darker sides. Those who toil in this particular type of animation are often abused. Please, do not support Laika. Support other film studios that nurture and foster healthy relationships with their animators in such a difficult type of animation. Laika is killing the art and if they continue to act like this, stop motion won't be able to thrive. Maybe Laika can right the ship but until they know we can't stand for this, they'll keep doing it. And we might lose this artform all in the name of profits.

*Too bad The Lego Movies are NOT part of it.*

Stop motion and horror are a match made in heaven!

Your a very talented historian and theorist keep it up please concise with exceeding breavity. I too am british (1992) I cannot express my love and fascination with animation, most ppl think I'm weird or depraved being a grown man with this perpensity for this avant-garde artform. Movement is a language a captivating one. We are bipedal and we are designed for locomation.

It hasn't come out yet but Scarlet deer inn is a game where all the characters are embroidered. There's also a KZbinr, worthikids, who has a few cgi animations but look just like stop motion

31:25 a game that was just announced, the midnight walk, did the same thing in the making of their game!

18:47 Brian David Gilbert recently released a pilot for a stop-motion/ live action kids show, so that’s something to look forward to if a studio picks it up

on the topic of stop motion video games, there's also hylics and hylics 2 by mason lindroth which have a very unique style that utilizes stop motion and clay a lot! this video was great btw, it's cool seeing love for stop motion.

the British clay-mation style always kinda creeped me out, but one of my favorite movies as a kid is Kubo And The Two Strings, another Laika movie. Edit: by British clay-mation I mainly mean Shaun The Sheep and Wallace and Gromit.

Stop motion will never die

banger video

YT algorithm finally doing it's thing and showing me amazing small KZbinrs 💕

As a fellow Brit it's cool to see mentioned a lot of the tv shows I grew up with, a lot that my parents did too. I've had experiences with people which told me they were from my parents' generation when I mention Camberwick Green and they immediately sing out the firemen's tune "Pugh, Pugh, Barney Mcgrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grub" on the spot 🤣 Also, there was a time when my folks were away for a few days and I got a text message from my Dad saying "BAGPUSS" before he could send me a picture of the original Bagpuss puppets and props. Turns out the Museum they were visiting had them on display and my Dad (who had twisted his ankle earlier) ran up the stairs to see them. He was super excited about the chocolate biscuit factory in particular, it's his favourite episode Really shows how much stop-motion media has had an impact on mulitple generations, me included (the tv show Old Bear and Friends was one of my favourites as a kid and I'm very much obsessed with The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists so it was cool to see it mentioned too) I'm going to have to seek out The Pinchcliffe Grand Prix now as I've never heard of it before, so thank you for introducing it! Just like stop-motion animators of the craft your passion for stop-motion really enthuses the viewer into seeking out more. I'm definitely subscribing!
