[@jakefries7548]

stop motion needs more respect. They are so hard to do and their so underrated

[@stickfigureanimations7530]

Yes I think so

[@starrberry6215]

@Jake Fries they're

[@isaywhateveriwantandyougot7421]

I'm sorry but CG and hand-drawn animation is almost as hard. Stop motion figures need to exist in real life, sure, but it's still frame by frame and that's exactly what animation in general is.

[@historyarmyproductions]

As a stop motion Animator I agree. Its very time consuming.

[@FDNProductions]

Yeah they take ages to do but they are so rewarding to see it complete

[@goldenapple7293]

gosh...I really love Fantastic Mr. Fox it's been years since the last I time I saw it

Stop motion is a wonderful technique, and often creates an unique style and athmosphere no 3d computer animation could replace.

[@loomynarty4099]

Paranorman is so underrated it's sad.

[@kaylablodgett2721]

[@gguk_7277]

Its good but underrated:(

[@richardgurney3160]

Kubo and the Two Strings for 2nd!

[@tomshanks1830]

Zion Daily-Lee chicken run is just life for me lol

[@Paraffinmeister]

Paranorman always seemed like a child friendly version of Silent Hill, with a happy ending to me. =P Great film though.

[@marzipan3]

Laika is amazing when it comes to stop motion. I mean they created Coraline, Paranorman, Boxtrolls, and now Kubo and the Two Strings. Like I have to agree with Chris Stuckmann when he says they're the next "Studio Ghibli"

[@marzipan3]

+Arta Flower well this did come out two years ago when we didn't know about Kubo. But I feel it would definitely deserve a spot now.

[@tyrannapusandfriends6254]

Jackie Garcia aardman also is doing a pretty good job with, Wallace and Gromit, chicken run, Shaun the sheep and now early man. But yes, Laika is the best by far

[@giancarlo_fre8]

Jackie Garcia nice connection to CHRIS STICKMAN

[@ChrisBa303]

They just need there own tim burton or Hayao Miyazaki. Someone with charm

[@anafernandamercadoaraujo8448]

Jackie Garcia and yet somehow the critics are a bunch of jerks that they refuse to honor Laika studios with an oscar.

[@nese5764]

Mary and Max needs so much more recognition than it gets it really touches on important subjects without boring the audience

[@mellosamurai1763]

My favourite movie that makes me cry every single time 😢❤️

This list needs to be updated to include Kubo and the Two Strings, My Life as a Zucchini (Ma Vie de Courgette) and Isle of Dogs.

Me too! Haha.

[@applebee28]

As well as being stunning and depressing and beautiful and original and everything else, it is honestly one of the only accurate representations of autism that I have ever seen! And this is coming from a real-life Aspie. Compare that to Atypical, or The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.

[@jonathanreed9506]

Yh same Rest in peace FS Hoffman

[@NightMythHunter]

Rubie Evergreen man I love atypical so much

[@magpineapple]

@@applebee28 atypical is a good representation of higher functioning people with autism and mary and max represents a more less functioning person.

[@m.easleysmith780]

I'm glad someone else appreciates Mary and Max

[@yeahhboii6685]

My favorite is Mary And Max there's something so special in it that makes me wanna watch it again the soundtrack the voices the black and white in New York while in Australia with colors it shows how the characters deal with life and how they grow old and get married and other stuff as well. It just there's something deep in this stop-motion that beats in my opinion all of them.

[@dynamiteanimates3207]

Mr fox was my childhood, and the most realistic stop motion, I say that should be number one ☝🏾

[@jacobprice4311]

Agreed, best film on the list too

[@ChippyGaming]

The Nightmare before Christmas was one of my favorite films as a kid, perfectly creepy and heartflilling, I'd have happily seen 8 Crazy Nights on the list too

[@JenkinsJPEG]

8 crazy nights isn't stop motion

[@jonn_mace_80_95_]

The Nightmare Before Christmas is my favorite movie of all time!

[@theswanson8099]

even in adulthood, Jack is my favorite character, and will always be

[@EatMyFuckinPants]

Chippy! What are you doing here. GANDHI, I FOUND YOU!

[@johnwaltonn725]

[@Bajlum13]

Mary & Max is one of the most life-affirming movies I have ever watched. It extraordinarily tells the story of what kinds of people live in this world, how nobody is perfect, and what makes best friends, strangers or not. I am glad WatchMojo noticed it, but Mary & Max is personally my number 1 Stop-Motion film.

[@birdcheese2770]

Coralline and The Nightmare Before Christmas is teh best

[@bradygurney2501]

stop motion animation is most definitely in a league of it's own. i commend anyone embarking in it's arduous venture. it takes a whole new level of dedication to create and it's truly amazing how much talent and passion is put into these films.

[@clairetyler94]

Fantastic Mr. Fox. That movie is hilarious and awesome one so many levels

[@reverietapes]

Golden Ever After High it's like quentin tarantino makes a PG movie I love it

[@saffron1708]

In my opinion Fantastic Mr Fox should be #1

[@charlesthorpebarbier5363]

No offense but The Nightmare Before Christmas totally nailed it.

[@kayladunaway7101]

+Charles Thorpe Barbier I second that

[@rocks1012]

It's really good I agree but I think it has a good spot on #3. Well, maybe it should have switched places with Coraline, but I love them both. I think Frankenweenie and Corpse Bride should have switch though.

[@dreampiper]

+Saff.to.the.ron While I agree, I enjoyed Fantastic Mr Fox way more in terms of comedy, animation and directing, you have to admit... when you think of STOP MOTION, usually what comes to mind is the one that popularized it for modern audiences. That being Nightmare Before Christmas! Fantastic Mr. Fox would not be here without it's genius and brilliance which lit the way for more of it's movies. I think it deserved first, though IMO Fantastic Mr Fox deserves that spot just as much!

[@thetonberryslair]

+Charles Thorpe Barbier your right

[@juniorsandoval9624]

Coraline is scary yet beautifully rendered that gives a sense of being in another world yet familiar at the same time. Love it so much

[@Katers1343]

I was so surprised when Mary and Max made it onto the list, it's such a great movie. Such a shame that so many people don't know it exists

[@jackskellington4021]

My List: 10. Chicken Run (Yes I would watch this movie including The Nightmare Before Christmas like EVERY SINGLE DAY when I was 6-7, now I'm 14 and I still love The Nightmare Before Christmas) 9.ParaNorman (It was ok, but could have used a little more plot to it :3) 8.Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer (It is very adorable, but I did have nightmares of that Yeti...) 7. Wallace And Gromit (Omfg I loved these series when I was little and would watch them a lot, then I would crave for Jelly On Toast xD) 6. Fantastic Mr. Fox ( The movie was great, but I really wasn't interested in it all that much, still a great movie!) 5. James And The Giant Peach(This movie creeped me out a bit too, but I loved it because it had Jack in it, and yes I was a big Jack Skellington fangirl when I was little, and I still am!) 4. Coraline ( When we bought the CD and brought home, me and my nephew were sitting in the dark getting ready for the movie. After the movie ended we were crying to our mothers to come with us in the rooms to turn on the lights because we were frightened!) 3. Frankenweenie (The emotions and stories and characters...and well just EVERYTHING was adorable) 2. Corpse Bride (The animation was perfect! Along with the voices and songs!) Ok everyone my number one... Drum roll please? 1. The Nightmare Before Christmas!!!!!!! The animation is quite clear And the music flings into your ear The characters have great personality And how Oogie Boogie had fatality Let me just convince you For the writers were too awesome They made a possum faint And covered the movie with musical paint This is by far the greatest Stop-Motion That your heart will be filled with The Nightmare Before Christmas fan potion (Idk I came up with this poem just now LOL) Anyways, this movie has been part of my childhood for over 7 years. The songs and characters were written well! I was such a young fan my mom got me a iPod with the songs and I would always walk around a Yarn Store singing Jack's Lament and What's This? so much. I would draw Jack and Zero on the Spiral Hill. In 4th Grade I got a 4 1/2 feet tall Jack Skellington doll for my birthday and I was so happy. Anytime we went to Disneyland, we HAD to go on The Haunted Mansion, because Jack and the gang would be there. I was once Sally for Halloween and I helped my mother sew the dress and design it. :3 My art is a lot greater now than what it used to be, that I am taking a animation class in Fullerton College right now. So I am kind of a Tim Burton fan. My favorite Tim Burton movies are of course The Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, and Corpse Bride. Edward Scissorhands and Jack Skellington describe my personality a lot. I have a lot of Jack in me because of my curiosity, enthusiastic character, creative, and I am a leader of my friends (they take my advice and listen to me), while I am Edward Scissorhands, I am very quiet, and I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings, and I am still learning things that I have not felt yet. So that's my list, hope you agree with some of it! :3

[@znvorz]

Agreed.

[@mwa_911]

This comment deserves more likes

[@giahasegawa]

lol was i the only one that wasn't creeped out by Coraline? Because that's my most favorite xP

[@giahasegawa]

spiders are creepy

[@daboz8753]

Thanks so much for putting 'Mary & Max' on here, it really deserves more attention. I just stumbled upon it thanks to Netflix and just fell in love with it, while most stop-motion films seem to highlight the fantastical and absurd, it was more down to earth yet with elements in it that reflect all the more well known stop motion films. Great list though, I love all of these.

The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists! Was one of the best animated films I've ever seen. It was a great mix of action, drama, and comedy.

[@jasminejohnston6393]

Yeah but stop motion and 3D don’t mix. I advised against watching the 3D version when it was in theatres

[@johnjekyllson28]

I enjoyed the book, but I was really creeped out by the movie at first, and wasn't quite sure what to make of it by the time the credits rolled.

The thumbnail is fantastic mr fox. Ya know the one based on the children's book by Roald Dahl.

[@jerrygil1965]

The thumbnail is the best

[@KingdomHeartsFan3211]

"Kubo and the Two Strings" is definitely the best stop-motion movie ever!!

[@jasminejohnston6393]

It doesn’t even look like stop motion it looks like CGI!

[@Legend-vm9uv]

The Nightmare Before Christmas is still the best one

[@kerianhalcyon2769]

Stop motion's the best. Along with traditional 2d animation it's a dying art, but unlike CGI it's actually not that expensive. It takes time and editing, yes, but you can pretty much do stop motion with whatever you have lying around your house. A cup suddenly becomes a lively container strutting his stuff along the countertop. Bits of clay come alive to create shapes and strange creatures. Wire when combined with bits of wood and maybe some clothing suddenly becomes a knight in shining armor. Seriously, more movies need to use this.

[@ryanbeet9217]

I'm suprised stop motion is cheaper than cgi I thought the reason why stop motion is becoming a bit lost is because it's too expensive

[@kerianhalcyon2769]

Yeah, it is so easy to get into stop motion. You can build wire frames alone using hardware store items. While ball-and-socket skeletons are more expensive they can last you for much longer than wireframes and are reusable. Literally the only difference between the two is time and space; it can take hours to make a scene that lasts half a minute, and if you need to reshoot you usually have to start over again from scratch. But digital can have that just as bad; I've had to sit for hours waiting for a scene to render only for it to get corrupted and literally have to start over at the beginning again. In any case, stop motion is probably the easiest form of animation to get started in if you're on a tight budget.

[@ryanbeet9217]

+Halcyon Industries (KerianH) yeah its amazing of what you can do with stop motion

[@SakuraUploads]

+Halcyon Industries (KerianH) As a child my brother and I would make stop motion movies with our toys, with the help of our father of course. It was heaps fun.

[@kerianhalcyon2769]

Miriama Yahalom Our family's first experience with stop motion was with a little webcam with some of our toys. I've been meaning to get back to doing it, haven't had much in the way of space to work with.

[@KoniraThax]

Wes Anderson needs to do more stuff like Fantastic Mr. Fox, that movie was brilliant.

[@hauntedhighlands]

The best one in my opinion is the criminally underrated Fool of the World and The Flying Ship, it's based on a Russian folk tale and just has the most magical atmosphere, perfect for watching on a snowy night.

[@giovannigiorgio6406]

No one here after 'Isle of Dogs' apparently. Well, if you see this comment, go watch it: it's just perfect (both stop motion and story)

there needs to be more Stop Motion Animation films...instead of all these stupid, pointless, action/horror movies that don't even deserve the big screen.

My animation teacher was one of the main animators for Mary and Max. He was super proud of the end product, its so great to see his and the other animator's talents being recognized.

[@Bitsy83]

Totally agree with Number 1. The best thing about NBC is that you can watch it twice a year since it can serve as both a Halloween AND a Christmas movie! 2-for-1 deal!

[@rokarege9058]

Well said.

[@lemieuxworldorder3102]

I thought you meant you could watch TNBC on the channel NBC 2 times a year.

[@Bitsy83]

the white wizard LOL. Serves me right for being too lazy to type out the whole title.

[@2doot]

I used to watch it literally EVERY DAY without getting sick of it for 2 months a year. I tell ya, it is my favorite movie ever. It mixes beautiful animation, great music ( I myself am a huge fan of the classic musical genre of movies) and the question that has always crossed our heads.... What happens when two holidays become one? Jack is such an adorable character too. He is a gentlemen, and is in good control, but in the same time he has the cute little glimmer of child like behavior and curiosity like a little puppy.

[@Bitsy83]

Pinkie CupcakePie Oh, Jack rocks on so many levels. Not to sound like a hipster, but I loved Jack BEFORE Hot Topic made him their poster boy. I'm glad to see he's gotten more of a fan base over the years. You go to Disney World and you can turn a corner without finding his face on something or other. I love how charming and debonaire he is. Best thing about him is that, despite his mistakes, he believes taking responsibility for his actions. I know this would've ruined the franchise, but I couldn't help but wonder if a sequel would be possible. Not necessarily with Jack taking over another holiday, but what if something like the Krampus were to discover Halloween? (Google him if you don't know what I'm talking about...)

[@apmvlogs813]

Coraline has been my favorite for ever! It’s so great!!!

What .... No "Peter and The Wolf" ? I beg to differ. It should've been in the top 5 at least.

***** You're in for a treat if you love stop motion! Juan Antartico's YT channel would be a good place to go...

[@knob-creek1849]

One thing I have learned over the years is if it's got Tim Burton's name on it is probably going to scar you just a little bit not enough to show but enough to make you fear random shit.

[@kookiemony01]

Sounds about right.

[@clarissaokeSkittlecat]

These animation is AMAZING! I hope there will be more animation like this in future

[@paperbackpocket1759]

Oh wow, I’d forgotten about Mary and Max. So many good films. I didn’t realize how many stop-motion movies I really like. I’m definitely going to check out those on here I haven’t seen. Thanks so much! (:

[@nullanma5134]

Coralline is LITERALLY my favorite film of all time. I absolutely adore stop motion of any kind. Wallace and Grommit, Nightmare Before Christmas, James and the Giant Peach... They would all be in my top 10 favorite film list. But Coralline takes the god dang cake. Beautiful animation, really awesome and memorable characters, colorful and dream-like environments, and such palpable senses of uneasiness in the beginning and a mix of utter terror and urgency towards the end, all brought together by a relatable protagonist and a meaningful underlying message really make Coralline one of the best films of all time in my opinion. Not to mention the fact that it's directed by my favorite director and the first time I saw it was at an actual cinema and not on DVD. P.S. Anyone remember the slug scene? I almost died laughing when I saw that when I was little and it still cracks me up to this day.

[@JaneDoe-tm3ru]

Mary and Max is the best it should of been nominated for an Oscar.

[@raskulx1664]

Excellent list! Mary & Max deserves to be higher but otherwise, awesome af list, great work! :)

[@renewings]

New list: #1 Isle Of Dogs

[@boxlions2073]

Facts :)

[@aroncrown1083]

Yes 1000000%

[@CryptoJordanVR]

This old list definitely needs a REDUX because Kubo and the Two Strings which just came out this year is easily one of the greatest animated movies of all time let alone one of the best stop motion movies!!!

[@noneck8166]

Agreed, just watched it tonight, i thought it was cgi made to look like stop motion, so i looked up the making of on here....seeing how it's made just made me want to watch it again...great story line and one hell of a way to make a movie!

[@basedbattledroid3507]

Jordan Brown I still can't believe that it was stop-motion, it was so smooth and intricate. I hope Laika continue to make films, they've breathed new life into stop-motion and I hope one day I can have the pleasure of working for them.

[@RoCkbunny769]

Omg! "Mary and Max" is number 9???? No way, it should be much higher. It's such a beautiful movie.

[@rehanrassi9410]

I love stop motion!! My favs are Coraline, nightmare before xmas, corpse bride and a really old one called davey and goliath.

[@LegitMan335]

I love all stop motion pictures. *OMG Mary and Max I’m hooked on it now*

[@robertbrookes2000]

My list: 1. Coraline 2. The Nightmare before Christmas 3. Chicken Run 4. Corpse Bride 5. Paranorman 6. James and the giant peach 7. Wallace and Gromit the curse of the Were-rabbit 8. Frankenweenie 9. Shaun the sheep movie 10. Boxtrolls/Kubo and the two strings. (p.s I haven't seen either of the last two)

[@Beanie-Inkling2749]

If you haven’t seen boxtrolls yet, please do. It’s definitely one of the best stop-motion films of all time and it’s on par with Coraline and nightmare before Christmas.

[@spuzzfipple951]

I saw the title and said, "I don't need to watch this, I know what number one is" Sure enough, BAM! Proven right!

[@lindastukule8381]

Great list!:) Can you please tell - what are the same or very similar animation stories made in stop motion and CGI (Computer-generated imagery)?

[@XanderDoesStuff]

I love corilaine that movie is the scariest thing of my childhood but I loved that kind of thing

[@MrDocProGuy]

Number 1 is Nightmare Before Christmas...well played WatchMojo.

[@cerysfalmai8644]

I didn't expect the nightmare before Christmas to be any lower than number one. Although I was surprised to see Corpse bride so low on the list.

[@cameroncohens3047]

Never knew I enjoy stop motion pictures so much ! Majority of this list are some of my favorite movies growing up , & of course now ! Some movies I didn’t even know were stop motion. Kinda sucks Anomalisa wasn’t on here . . . GREAT MOVIE !

[@21whichiswhich]

Just watched a video on how its made. I respect the dedication and hard work of the people behind it.

[@Amanda-us1rs]

What about Shaun (or Sean) the sheep? Anyone remember that?

[@Supermegurwolf]

Ikr? Shaun even has his own movie now.

[@Ravenisrandom]

Amanda Panda My sister loves that show. I like it too.

[@sticksthunder]

Amanda Panda This KZbin video was made in April 2014 so....yeah.

[@kylewhitehead5975]

Amanda Panda It's not a movie yet but it should be good when it does come out.

[@Supermegurwolf]

kyle whitehead Yes it is.

[@andyepsilon2629]

Top*

[@einarlaker7562]

my favourite stop motion movie is the brilliant "flåklypa grand prix"!

[@RaxxisBluescale]

***** they never made a movie

[@babbasup6078]

Do a list of the top 10 actors who always play the same roles

[@turquoisesunset5744]

I think that Kubo should be on the list or even first. It may not look to much like clay stop motion but it is. It's amazing!

[@atrinhajibabaei7253]

Fantastic mr.fox is truly fantastic. This list is amazing. I haven’t watch so many of them for a long time. I miss them

[@jays0n1]

I'm not even done with the video and I can already guess that The Nightmare Before Christmas is first.

[@jays0n1]

And I was right.

[@strangerbagheera8398]

Corpse bride is my favorite

[@Neverlandlostgirl07]

[@JT-bd1nb]

My favorite one that I watched from this list is Corpse Bride. That movie will never be forgotten.

[@animusfoxx6965]
