Why stop motion should never die.

[@KyleRDent]

The original release of Coraline was the last time I went to a cinema. I hate them, but I really wanted to see it in 3D and support stop-motion. Worth it.

[@irislyoko]

It definitely sounds amazing!! I hardly go to the cinema either - although I saw Kubo and the Two Strings in cinema and that was pretty awesome!

I’ve been on a huge Rankin/Bass kick lately and I absolutely adore the stop motion style that they do for their specials. They were animated in Japan, which is probably why I get a huge kick out of them. It does make me sad that we don’t really have a dedicated studio that make stop motion holiday specials anymore. But they just about air here in the United States every Christmas season so they’re still apart of our lives thankfully (Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer being the most popular one obviously).

Stop motion has to be the epitome of art for art's sake among animation styles. It's so difficult to get right, so time consuming, and so niche that you have to be utterly devoted to your work to pull it off. Yet it's so foundational to film history thanks to geniuses like Ray Harryhausen (just imagine what a nightmare it must have been to choreograph and sync up the skeleton fight scene in Jason and the Argonauts) that I can't picture it ever disappearing entirely. It may not get big studios attached very often, but there's always going to be someone fascinated enough by stop motion to carry it forward. Also, I would like to express my profound jealousy that UK kids got so many stop motion shows back in the day and all we had here when I was the same age was annual airings of Nightmare Before Christmas and the Rankin-Bass Christmas specials.

When i was younger, i never really cared what animation style was used but now im older i have seen a few stop motipn films i missed when i was younger and am absolutely loving and apprecting the effort and lpve that go in to them!

As a Norwegian, i can confirm i have watched the Pinch cliff grand prix over 20 times in my life so far

[@irislyoko]

Amazing! :') I've actually been learning Norwegian recently so it made it an extra joy to experience. I would love to talk about the film more in a video sometime!

[@nickroll1502]

Great video! Love stop motion, Magic Roundabout and The Herbs are two of my favourite shows plus Wallace & Grommit and Shaun the Sheep of course. One you didnt mention that I also liked was a series called Gogs about a family of cavemen (and women) 🙂

[@meiyoou]

I'm obsessed with moral orel right now so this video landed on my feed; i've had very few touch points with stop motion up to this point. as much as i was fascinated by the concept of stop motion while watching the show, i haven't really looked into other works or the behind the scenes of the medium that much. i feel like there is so much to explore!!! Yippieee

[@Aurora_Animates]

Wow this video has less than 1000 views, I really expected higher from such a high quality video. Stop motion and drawn animation NEEDS to be brought back . Love the video ❤

[@irislyoko]

Aaah thank you so much, that's so lovely of you to say!! I appreciate it a lot

[@LaurenluvtoonZ]

There is a stop motion animated series for streaming service max called Frankelda’s book of spooks. This series is amazing anthology series which the show originates from Mexico plus there’s a movie coming up Frankelda and the Prince of spooks

[@irislyoko]

I did catch a glimpse of that series when I was doing some research!! It's definitely on my list to watch :) I didn't know there's a movie coming up though, which is exciting - thank you for sharing :D

[@lancealot1235]

I used to watch a show called scream teens that I think was stop motion

[@FriendsAndGamingYT]

Was great seeing Coraline in cinema. So cool to see it on the big screen! Didn't expect to see butt ugly martians to appear in the video! I'm sure you probably seen it, but Hidari is a insanely well done stop motion that shows how cool action scenes can be done in stop motion!

[@irislyoko]

It's awesome that you saw Coraline in the cinema, too!! And Butt ugly martians is so entertaining ahaha :') Oooh I recognise the name Hidari but I don't think I've ever actually seen it properly! I'll make sure to check it out asap :D

[@destroyerofeps2714]

it literally won't ever, it's a technique that is impossible to erase because that would require a racing literally every physical Doll, Puppet, Figure or anything of the sort.

[@morbidmacaroni]

More like don't stop motion, amma right?

[@nikpltnk]

i love stop motion so much!! i grew up watching pingu everyday as a kid 🥹 if you think about it, it was probably the first contact a whole generation of kids had with stop motion

[@irislyoko]

Yesss totally! Pingu was pretty much a worldwide phenomenon :')

[@blueroman460]

Great video!

[@irislyoko]

Thank you!☺️
