Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Behind the Scenes | Stop-Motion Art | Warner Bros. Entertainment

[@thatnoname]

I thought the stop motion scenes were made completely with CGI but thankfully no. Kudos to Tim Burton and all the other people who stayed true to how the first Beetlejuice was made.

[@ChrisBarrett1]

Me too!

[@themanwithaplan5425]

Yah, I just thought it was CG designed to look like stop motion!

[@eaglejones856]

I actually thought they were used to stop motion originally, but then I heard that it was actually CGI but I’m glad that rumors been put to rest. It was stop motion and I’m really happy.

We are in a time where despite it being a little choppy, Stop-Motion nearly became as smooth a CGI.

THE PLANE SCENE WAS STOP-MOTION?!?!? I love this sequel even more now!

[@Blunderman-rl1hc]

You can tell a sequence is done in stop motion because the medium has a certain "feel" to it in the way the characters move. That's how I could tell the plane scene was stop motion.

[@spectrablaze3760]

[@MMAproAtGOLF]

It looks cheap so yeah

[@alexdevlin2429]

@@MMAproAtGOLFStop motion isn’t cheap which is why most studios don’t do stop motion and when they do it’s for a short scene. Only a few studios like Laika or Aardman make full length feature films that are made in stop motion.

[@ChristopherGrisolia]

Even though I love CGI it makes me so happy that they used Stop Motion special effects, especially in a modern movie

[@Reelunique]

CGI is great as a last resort and tool but a filmmaker should always try to get things done practically first and use CGI sparingly. It really makes the whole movie better. I think that’s why this film was so successful.

[@liamjones203]

I disagree, I think they both are tools and it’s just about using them in a complimentary manner, take the people standing on the airplane for instance; only a section was on set and had to be extended, that’s the part that gets done digitally with vfx. There’s no point at plotting the two against each other because they are part of the same team working on the same goal, making visually stunning movies

[@masterofallgoons]

Stop motion integrated with live actuon looks so great .. i wish they'd use it more often

[@gabe_s_videos]

At the end of the first sandworm scene, I turned to my wife and whispered “I think I’m gonna cry.” It truly felt like I was seeing the kind of movie I’d have seen in theaters as a kid come out today.

The plane crash sequence being in stop-motion animation was one of my other favorite scenes in this movie. I've always loved Tim's passion for that medium of animation and I still say that "Nightmare Before Christmas" is the best stop-motion animated film ever made.

[@TheStuartReeves]

I've not left the cinema with such a huge grin in a long, long time as I did with "Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice". I was starting to think Hollywood was no longer capable of making a film I could enjoy anymore. The talent involved both in front and behind the camera on this production was simply unbelievable and it's fantastic to see their efforts rewarded at the box office.

The stop motion looked fantastic in this movie and it was such a treat to see it used on the big screen. Loved every second the sandworm puppet was shown and definitely stop motion was the only way to do it.

[@thevoid99]

these animators did a phenomenal job. i'm happy tim went back to practical effects and stop-motion as it felt right and more realistic. i don't mind he still did CGI but he didn't go overboard for it this time around. i feel like he's gotten some spark left in him and he is enjoying himself once again.

[@ESTYMANAGRANIATV]

I'm shocked! I was convinced in the cinema that the scenes with the sand monsters and the plane crash were practically the only CGI in the film! Burton knows how to save WB money. By the way, this year I made my first stop-motion animation. I recorded a miniature garbage can tipping over. A terribly tiring process, you have to have a lot of patience.

[@EthanAnania]

I do enjoy movies with CGI & VFX and movies with real practical & special effects. A movie can depend on how any effect would work. When I saw this film, I was quite amazed on the stop-motion effects it really looks.

Hopefully this encourages other filmmakers to incorporate stop motion into a live action environment. The problem with stop motion back in the 80’s and early 90’s is the compositing. However, now we’re at a point where you can put a stop motion character in the same frame as a live action actor and it can look seamless.

[@SithExmortis]

what a complete waste of time, money and talent. They spend hours and hours making models only to convert it with CGI .... what’s the point? Even some moments shown in this video were complete CGI making the whole reason using practical effects redundant. Plus, the on screen stop motion scenes are literally seconds long which aren’t worth it all of this effort. The film its self is an absolute shambles and a terrible sequel to a classic movie.
