What about Corpse Bride??? Or does not a lot of people know about it????? (Also I agree why you like/dislike most of them. I like to see your intriguing opinions, for most of them is tasteful.)
@@dogboyconnor YOU SHOULD!!! It's a fantastic movie with a really great plot and nice characters. It's called Corpse Bride and it is an absolutely beautiful movie!!! I really recommend you watch it. :>
Honestly I really liked James and The Giant Peach because as I got older I realized it's more than just a whimsical interesting animation. In my mind at least it's a story on a boy who's running away from an abusive and/or neglectful household. The animated parts {Both stop motion and not} are the child's imagination and a way to keep him from falling apart mentally and emotionally as he runs from the only thing he knows. On a different note, one of my actual favorite Stop Motion movies is Kubo and The Two Strings. I already knew the original story decently well and was glad it followed what I remembered from reading the original years before the movie came out. It has little details you really only see in Laika films and Nightmare Before Christmas. Also, as an added bonus with Kubo, it won a world record.
Maybe James and the Giant Peach might have been a little better if it was either live-action or animated instead of a mixture of live-action and stop-motion animation. It wouldn't help the writing or singing, but it might have made it more tolerable.
I dunno, I find it kind of funny how the film points out when James becomes stop-motion and plays it completely straight. (Say what you will about The Page Master, but it at least made sense in that film. Here, it's basically a stylistic choice)
My favorite movie of all time is actually The Nightmare Before Christmas, It's just so bloody dark and exotic! it also has some rather deep undertones as well about passion and questioning your identity. (to me, anyway.)
Indeed! that is another reason I enjoy the movie. The final song is just grand! hm, what would be your favorite song in general from that movie, However? one of mine would be "What's This?"
I have Aspergers and I need to watch Mary and Max now. I always get told "What you have Aspergers? I would've never been able to tell!" Well, yeah, I'm just a little awkward sometimes is all. And of course I have emotions. I'm not a robot! Nobody seems to acknowledge the physical and emotional parts of it. It's not ALL social. Sorry for the mini rant I'm just happy to see there are people who understand XD
My fav claymations (movie+series) -Jojo's Circus -Shaun The Sheep -Pingu -Coralline -Chicken Run -Corpse Bride -Nightmares Before Christmas -Fireman Sam -Bob The Builder -Postman Pat -Mio Mao -Isle of Dogs
I like James and the Giant Peach just about as much as Nightmare Before and besides the fact that James and the Giant Peach can be sickening sweet it also has a good message about standing up to your abusers and how to look at something the other way whenever you're afraid of it or confused by it
Hell and Back looks like they took Crashbox's animation style and turned it into a full movie. Crashbox has a unique and distinctive claymation style, but it can only be taken in 2 episode increments.
My favorite Claymation Movies 5. Gumby 4. Corpse Bride 3. Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer 2. I have not seen Coraline but that looks amazing, 1. Nightmare Before Christmas
What's odd about James and Nightmare is they were both Henry Selick, Tim Burton, Denise Di Novi productions, James and the Giant Peach had Susan Sarandon and Nightmare had her ex, Chris Sarandon. One you rated as being one of the worst ever made, the other the very best ever made (and, oddly enough, having seen both, I will agree with you, Phantomic one).
I know EVERYTHING about The Nightmare Before Christmas. I would watch it everyday if I could, but I dont have a DVD or anything, so I have to wait each year for halloween and christmas time so I can watch on netflix and hulu.
Same here. Although to be honest, I wouldn't mind not having it only because I don't like people trying to make me feel better about. I know they mean well but it only makes me feel like there is something wrong with me rather then my brain just being wired diffrently
Edit: Sorry I missed Kubo. To be honest I thought it was CG! XD My bad. Consider it a definite honourable mention :) Thanks for visiting and have a great week :)
SaltyMew I just checked and you are right, but i guess it’s got a clay like feel to it Thanks for correcting me Saved me from saying that monster house was great stop motion .... again
Claymation is always fascinating being so unique and creative I love The Nightmare Before Christmas Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Isle Of Dogs, Wallace And Gromit And Many Other good claymations For my Future Top 10 for you can you have some more anime lists (I’d love to see Robin again) As well Best Canadian Cartoon And Top 10 Disney Sitcoms it’ll be fun videos for you to do and us viewers to see I hope you have a nice day Josh!^-^
Animation-wise, Isle of Dogs has largely the same style as the Fantastic Mr Fox movie. Both films were written produced and directed by the same person - Wes Anderson.
I'm not a fan of the wallace and gromit animation style they used in chicken run, but I probably should've given it an honourable mention alongside wallace and gromit in retrospect. It really stood out in the claymation field at the time.
After closing the video, I immediatly went to watch Mary and Max. I had never heard about it, like...almost every other Australian movies, anyway I loved it. I'm aspie too and I appreciated this rapresentation of the own feelings of an aspie person about him/herself, that doesn't have to feel defective just for being different.
I agree. if I find the Movie Mary and Max I would immediately watch it because I'm an aspie myself and I think that it the movie discusses AD pretty well
Great video. Just a quick question. Have you ever seen Kubo and the Two Strings? I would love to know what you think of all of the Laika Studio movies (Coraline, Paranorman, Box Trolls, and Kubo). I love Laika studios as I think they make some of the most original and beautiful movies nowadays. I hope they can make more.
Ah hey Robyn :) ah Kubo :D to be honest it definitely would've got a mention but I mistakenly thought it was CG >.< I loved the more dreamy atmosphere of Kubo and that fantasy element throughout it, while also feeling a hair more brutal. Only thing I'd say is I didn't follow the story too well. I really hope to see more from Laika studios too.
I personally dislike Isle Of Dogs, even though I love dogs. The plot was weird, the animation would get muddled with words so it wasn’t even great seeing the visuals , and again, the story was unusual, not in a way I personally like, but I do respect your opinion. I also think Kubo should have been on
My favorite movie of all time is The Corpse Bride. It took 10.5 years to make and every detail shows. The flawless facial expressions, the beautiful details of “bouncing walking” and wind. People only seem to remember Nightmare, but CB has it all.
I loved the whole change in tone between the living and the dead, and how the dead world was more colorful despite the dark aspect, and how the living world was almost devoid of all color.
I personally LOVE Wallace and Gromit! From the original shorts, to the Cracking Contraptions, to the Curse of the Were-Rabbit they all are so beautifully animated and so much fun to watch! I also think Chicken Run deserved an honorable mention. But I respect your opinion! I'd love to see you do a top 10 best and worst episodes of Danny Phantom, too, if you get a chance!
I admitted that I grew up with W&G movie (Curse Of The Were-Rabbit) but I have'nt grew up with the shorts. That's why I need to watch some shorts like Close Shave (where my childhood Shaun The Sheep made his first appearance) and Wrong Trousers (that penguin though).
花陽気な Isle of Dogs is really good! I really wish that we could have a new stop motion movie by Tim Burton but I’m not sure how it can capture the same magic as The Nightmare Before Christmas.
For years I thought James and the Giant Peach was just some crazy fever dream I had as a small child. It was only relatively recently that I found out that it is an actual movie X'D
Mathew Haswell I love Tim Burton but James and the Giant Peach wasn't creepy enough and that somehow made it creepier. I love dark and messed up kids movie and Burton and Don Bluth films are my life line but Peach is the Burton equivalent of A Troll In Central Park. Both were cheesey and creepy at the same time.
Charlie And The Chocolate Factory mixed humor and Burton's creepiness a fair bit better, IMO. Portraying Wonka as being visibly unhinged and detached from reality - as a long-time shut-in with only glorified slaves for company would likely be in real life - works as a darker/"realistic" take on him, IMO.
My top 3 best stop motion movies 3: corpse bride idk why but I just like it it’s really good and fun 2: nightmare before Christmas its a really fun movie what talks about two different cool holidays 1: Coraline it’s a beautiful pasted awesome movie my only concern is I’m scared In Case I watch to much that I don’t like the movie any more so that’s all for now
Nightmare Before Christmas has the luxury of being a double holiday season movie. Here in the USA it's shown around both Halloween and Christmas. I think you overlooked Kubo and the two strings for a good stop motion though. Also could I request that you do a list of the top 10 Animated Cult Classics? And also top 10 Worst Animated Cult Classics? If you already have a similar list could you please put a link. I have joint damage and it's hard to search.
I think my favorite is Coraline. I just really enjoy the story and ideas in that movie, though I agree the Nightmare before Christmas is probably technically the best if only because it is so much more memorable and more timeless. It was also the first movie that really wowed me with stop motion and dynamic camera shots. I used to to hate it seeing the super static shots in Rudolph movies(unpopular opinion I know, but I personally don’t like it, though I’m sure much hard work went into it). I love stop motion now. I think some other honorable mentions should be corpse bride for some stunning visuals and paranorman for the 2nd half and ending.
God, the visuals in Coraline deserve all the praise they get. Otherworld is so creepy, yet beautiful. ParaNorman is definitely worth the watch, too, but be warned... The climax of the movie is heartbreaking.
My favorites 1. Corpse Bride because it's just so beautifully well done :P 2. Nightmare before Christmas because we all love a Halloween movie 3. Coraline because I love creepy movies lol
Your just one of the nicest people in UA-cam I only feel this kindness and passion with you and slice of otaku this appreciation for there viewers it makes me so happy
I know that Coraline got an honorable mention but I feel like Kubo should have also gotten an honorable mention. Yeah, the story is predictable, I was able to figure it out pretty early on when I saw it in the theater at least but it's still a good story with some great visuals. Personally, I feel like it's the best thing to come from Laika, I might be a tad bias on my feelings towards Laika because I do live in Beaverton & actually do have some connections, mostly have friends of friends but still, hard to not know someone, even if they are an acquaintance, that works for Laika if you live in Beaverton. A friend of mine even got a tour of the studio because she's an artist & was looking for work, she's the friend of the friend I mentioned earlier, since her & her family knows people there, they got to hook her up with the tour & she knew about the Box Trolls before much was released to the public. She wasn't allowed to share much but she told me what she could on it & I relayed that information to a friend of mine who's studying to become an animator, he holds claymation in high regards & was excited to hear about it since he is such a Laika fanboy, he even moved closer to where their studio is. I guess Kubo & the Two Strings is just one of my personal favorites & doesn't line up with the mass majority of which is all cool, I was kinda hoping on it getting an honorable mention but oh well.
For the record I think Kubo deserves more than an honourable mention and your opinion is closer to the mass majority than you might think, Kubo is literally laika's best reviewed movie critically but the unfortunate thing is that it failed commercially. It's a beautiful movie in the most literal sense of the word and I honest to god can't say I've seen any finer and fluent stop motion animation to date. Travis Knight the director of this movie really needs to be given more credit, he was Laika's lead animator for a bunch of their previous films and even contributed to Kubo's animation whilst simultaneously directing the movie. Hell now he's actually became the CEO of Laika. The upcoming Bumblebee movie is going to be his live action directorial debut and whilst people have every right to be skeptical considering how much of a garbage heap the transformers movies are, knowing Knight's previous track records and what he's said in interviews about his vision for the movie I have genuine hope that it'll be great. I respect Phantom's opinions and what not but I honestly cannot lie, I was super disappointed that Kubo was nowhere to be found in this video.
Marlene Martinez Kubo and the two strings is my personal favorite stop motion film. I liked it better than Isle of Dogs as far as the Japanese theme goes. Isle of Dogs is too furry but I think it was good enough to swap out Mr. Fox for it instead. @PhantomStrider when you said that it was not only lwatching a Fox and a Badger but felt like watching two middle aged men my first thought was: a thus a furry fan is born.
Claymation is hard, painfully long to do, and requires a lot of patience. But there is one animation style that takes all those attributes to a whole new level. Only one movie that I know of was done like this. Look up the movie "loving Vincent". It's insane how much effort went into it.
Fun fact: In Roald Dahl's original book of James and the Giant Peach, the reason his parents got killed was because James and his parents went to London to do some shopping and a rhinoceros had escaped from the nearby London Zoo and ate them on a crowded street. This shows how the writers of the movie didn't read the book properly.
Yeah but the Rhino had no bearing in the rest of the story like if there was no villain. Also, in the book, the Rhino LITERALLY ate his parents despite them being vegetarian. It just shows how little research the author did on them. Many fans even like to believe the aunts made the movie's depiction to scare and further manipulate James because he's simply a kid. I actually liked what they did with the Rhino BETTER than the book because they actually made it to a psychological fear for James that he has to conquer in order to stand up to his aunts. The changes in the movie IMO worked better. Like instead of weird cloud people, it's badass Jack Skellington pirates. Even the author's aunt fell in love with the movie's changes and felt it would be a movie her husband would've loved. So there's that.
@@brandonspain12345It would have made more sense if the rhinoceros trampled them to death or impaled them with it's horn or a leopard escaped and ate them instead.
Ahhhhhh I Wake Up And I'm Greeted By Probably The Friendliest UA-camr Ever It's Always Nice To Hear PhantomStrider's Insightful And Well Thought Of Opinions
I was terrified of James and the Giant Peach as a kid. It’s weird to hear this description of it. Even little kid me didn’t trust anything on screen (which tragically kept my life devoid of stop motion for years after).
Abed's a much better example of a good representation of asperger's. He's not inherently selfish and callous like Sheldon. He still feels but struggles to express emotions. And if there's one thing I know for certain, it's that aspies still feel. Alot.
I didn't know Sheldon had asperger's ..He always says his mother had him tested.. Anyways I had a friend who was fairly similar to Sheldon except he wasn't a genius.. ;-;
Side note, Tim Burton didn't direct Nightmare before Christmas. Henry Selick (director of James and the Giant Peach and Coraline) deserves that honor. Burton was merely producing it and writing parts of the plot.
Christy Loves Sloths when I watched Frankweenie I was scared to death, I watched it when I was like three... I also felt bad for the dog, but I didn’t know what was going on, and don’t get me started on how scared I was when watching Coraline
Stop motion has been around since the early days of film but claymation has been around for less time, something around the time you stated. Just wanted to clear that up since I have a bit of a soft spot for both forms of animation (thanks in large part to "Wallace and Gromit" when I was growing up).
If the list were anything related to stop-motion, then my favorite stop-motion film would be Into the Spiderverse. In fact, it's my favorite movie period. I could honestly go on for hours about how beautiful it was. But since the list is only true claymation, then my favorite would be Coraline. I personally hate scary movies and stories, but this one is amazing! It's a very memorable film :)
Paranorman, Kubo and the Two Strings, Flushed Away and Chicken Run should totally be on this list!!! Then again, long live claymation!!!! In fact, I could make my own claymation movie South Polar Heroes!!!!
I like James and the Giant peach, But I know that it's a bit clunky at times. But I watch it cause of the Claymation characters. I love their unique designs.
When I think of Claymation/Stopmotion I personally think of "The Nightmare Before Christmas" since it's so popular. But my fav Claymation/Stopmotion films are "The Coprse Bride", "Coraline", "Wallace and Gromit", I love em. Oh! And uh. That one kid who can see ghosts movie. I forgot what it's called.
I wholeheartedly agree with your list on this topic. Also I had absolutely no idea you had Aspergers, Strider. That's a interesting fact to know of one of my favorite UA-camrs. I never would judge it as a negative or a problem, though. I have been diagnosed with two mental disabilities myself, so I can more or less understand. Mary and Max is absolute favorite of mine because I feel that it's a movie that truly understands disabled people in general. While the world would tell us we're different and some would choose to believe that curing disabilities is doing us a favor, most of us don't want to change and would rather celebrate it as traits that shaped us as people.
I'm an Aspie too and I'm about to graduate University with a Bachelors in IT Networking to add to my Associate of Arts. I'm socially awkward and have anxiety at times but I manage myself and don't like to be considered "disabled or mentally ill" cause there's nothing wrong with me.
I wish I could be an Aspie like you. I do feel held back and limited by my Aspergers syndrome. It's not the only thing that has held me back, but it is significant.
@@Dayglodaydreams We all deal with it differently, so we all get different outcomes. Important thing is to be comfortable with yourself - though that can be the biggest challenge.
Lol funny about the rhino thing from James and the Giant Peach. Rhinos are herbivores..😂 I remember reading that part from the book, and I was all types of confused. Now that I'm hearing this out loud form the movie, it's so dumb. 😂
Mary and Max is one of my alltime favourite movies; probably because I have Aspergers myself too. And the movie respects the 'disability' so well that I can only recommend this movie to anyone who has never seen it before! It's a good start to understand aspies and it's just over all a very beautiful movie. And dear god, I LOVE stopmotion movies so much! I can only recommend ANY of the three best movies. But especially Mary and Max, it tells such an important message ❤
I believe Mary and Max was on my Netflix queue for quite awhile (it may still be), but I have to ask, without spoilers-- is it depressing? That's part of why I put off seeing it, as I have to be in a certain mindset to watch heavy drama things.
@@Schornforce Well, it does have some kinda dark and depressing moments, so if you don't like that, maybe you shouldn't watch it? Or watch it with someone who has already seen it so they can warn you idk
The Corpse Bride is another amazing stop motion animated movie, and is one of my sisters favorites(along with Coraline and The Nightmare Before Christmas). The world of stop motion is such a wonderful place, but really does depend on good acting and a good plot(which Tim Burton has a good job at making), and I honestly think stop motion is one of the most amazing under rated animation styles.
Sheldon is actually my favorite character in The Big Bang Theory. Also it’s so cool to know you’re an Aspie like me! Also I kind of liked Hell and Back. It’s an ok film.
I really don't know why he mentioned Sheldon during that discussion. The show writers have stated in an interview that they don't intend for Sheldon to be on the autism spectrum. Rather, he's just socially awkward and a bit detached from reality on occasion. They then went on to say that Sheldon can be interpreted however the viewer wants. But I agree, Sheldon is best character. Even if he's one lab accident away from becoming a supervillain.
I liked Hell and Back because I was just in the mood for some funny crude humor and an uninvolved plot that night. If I went in actually wanting to empathize with characters that night, my opinion would be very different.
FrankenWeenie and Coraline were my childhood favorites. I think just the claymation style and horror theme fit together so well. They both had stories I loved and I was intrigued for the whole movie. I wish more movies like that were made
"I do not feel disabled, defective, or in need to be cured. I like being an aspy. Taking it away would be like changing the color of my eyes." What max says about Asperger Syndrome is how I feel about Epilepsy.
For me, my favourite stop-motion animated movie is Kubo And The Two Strings. It's made by the same guys as Coraline and ParaNorman. I won't say anything about it, I just recommend you go check it out.
"Hell and Back isn't just the worst Claymation movie, it falls into the category of some of the worst animated movies ever." Translation: this movie belongs in the Extra-Special Category of *_ROTTEN!_*
I remember watching Mary and Max when I was around 8 years old and crying *so* hard. The movie was magnificent but to this day, I cannot watch this movie because it just puts me in one of those 'black and white' moods. Though I'm sure that was the effect it was supposed to have, it just makes life seem so sad and unbearably real.
My list for best 1) Corpse bride 2)Nightmare before Christmas 3) Coraline 4) (Ik there is no 4 but whatever) Frankeweenie (that’s how you spell it right?)
No, you're not. Strider even said it's a cult classic. Just because two famous online reviewers don't like it doesn't mean everyone hates it. Heck, if you've seen the NC's review, you'll notice the entire running gag throughout it was him pretending to like it so the fans wouldn't kill him. If the film wasn't popular, there'd be no inspiration for that painfully forced and unfunny joke.
I wish Paranorman had been on the list, at least as an honorable mention. It may not have been as imaginative or explored the mind too extensively, but it did touch beautifully on fear, bullying, and being different. I absolutely love its twist on zombies and how it portrayed the 'witch' as how people once saw 'witches', the injustice the accused faced, and how people love to blow up a good scary story while ignoring the weight of the truth. Norman himself was portrayed as the 'different kid' who had trouble fitting in and faced terrible bullying, something that many people can relate to easily.
I love Tim Burton's clay mations and I cannot think of one that is below amazing. Along with a nightmare before Christmas I realy enjoy a corps bride. These dark films are spooky enough to be enjoyed as a hallaween classic but also suitable for chrildren wich is incredable as so many films only speak to one democratic. I am going to check out that asberges film as I am (probably) asberges myself. XD apparently I am too academic to be tested by the government but evry one I know thinks I am on the spectrum somewhere. Going to be tested soon hopefully by the college I am going to so they can help me. I even had a doctor say I have nothing wrong with my eyes I just struggle to hold eye contact. >_< this may explain why I struggle to socialize
But the real question....
Is Nightmare before Christmas a Halloween or Christmas movie??
*B O T H*
Yes
I say Christmas because it has CHRISTMAS in the titel
Christmas
It's an ultimate crossover
Nightmare before Christmas has always been a staple in my house, the music the visuals, we love it all!
What about Corpse Bride??? Or does not a lot of people know about it????? (Also I agree why you like/dislike most of them. I like to see your intriguing opinions, for most of them is tasteful.)
Comet the fox I haven't seen it but I really want to..
I loved corpse bride
@@dogboyconnor YOU SHOULD!!! It's a fantastic movie with a really great plot and nice characters. It's called Corpse Bride and it is an absolutely beautiful movie!!! I really recommend you watch it. :>
@@almightytallest9812 Me too. ( ,,uwu,,)

Well, it's a great movie. But why you said that the movie should have been one form instead of hybrid? It's the best choice.
The nostalgia from just The nightmare before Christmas alone almost brought me to tears! Honestly,I consider it the best movie ever!
I used to watch The Corpse Bride religiously when I was little
May i just say James and the giant peach has a musical and it has pretty good music. just sayin
Hmhm....WHAT
I was in a James and the giant peach production!
My favorite movie of all time is actually The Nightmare Before Christmas, It's just so bloody dark and exotic! it also has some rather deep undertones as well about passion and questioning your identity. (to me, anyway.)
I find Jack's difficulties can really apply to creatives too. Love his final song particularly
Indeed! that is another reason I enjoy the movie. The final song is just grand! hm, what would be your favorite song in general from that movie, However? one of mine would be "What's This?"
oooh so *that's* what Gravity Falls was parodying at the end of the Clay short! Gumby :v

Hell and Back looks like they took Crashbox's animation style and turned it into a full movie. Crashbox has a unique and distinctive claymation style, but it can only be taken in 2 episode increments.
Nightmare Before Christmas, 2/3rds of the plot is musical numbers and Jack doesn't even know Sally is there until near the end of the movie.
My favorite Claymation Movies
5. Gumby
4. Corpse Bride
3. Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer
2. I have not seen Coraline but that looks amazing,
1. Nightmare Before Christmas
I respect Stop motion animations and hand drawn animations more then anything, damn their DEDICATION
Gonna be honest the night before Christmas is my favorite film of all time
You should recommend your own Shrek storybook!
The nightmare before Christmas is one of my fav movie every Halloween I watch it
Nightmare Before Christmas is my ABSOLUTE favorite
What's odd about James and Nightmare is they were both Henry Selick, Tim Burton, Denise Di Novi productions, James and the Giant Peach had Susan Sarandon and Nightmare had her ex, Chris Sarandon. One you rated as being one of the worst ever made, the other the very best ever made (and, oddly enough, having seen both, I will agree with you, Phantomic one).
I know EVERYTHING about The Nightmare Before Christmas. I would watch it everyday if I could, but I dont have a DVD or anything, so I have to wait each year for halloween and christmas time so I can watch on netflix and hulu.
As someone with Autism, I agree with you on Mary and Max. I don't feel disordered or disabled. I'm fine with my life.
i also agree, when i was diagnosed i didn't break down crying i just stayed strong.
Junior Silva Ditto.
@@SkylanderDragon ?
Agreed!

Banoffee De Fairikaik I didn’t really like isle of dogs
Never watched it tbh
Where was monster house
SaltyMew I just checked and you are right, but i guess it’s got a clay like feel to it
Thanks for correcting me
Saved me from saying that monster house was great stop motion .... again

Claymation is always fascinating being so unique and creative I love The Nightmare Before Christmas Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Isle Of Dogs, Wallace And Gromit And Many Other good claymations For my Future Top 10 for you can you have some more anime lists (I’d love to see Robin again) As well Best Canadian Cartoon And Top 10 Disney Sitcoms it’ll be fun videos for you to do and us viewers to see I hope you have a nice day Josh!^-^
Hey thanks Mizuki. It's very likely Robyn will be returning in future anime lists :)
PhantomStrider You’re, Welcome!^-^
hey im making a movie called war of dogs and I think it wll be great if you can check it out in fact you have my permission to do a review on it
Isle of Dogs is great with a great and different style.
Animation-wise, Isle of Dogs has largely the same style as the Fantastic Mr Fox movie. Both films were written produced and directed by the same person - Wes Anderson.
I have to say my favourite claymation is Kubo and the Two Strings, if only for the atmosphere it is able to create
E: Stop motion, not claymation
agreed
Same.
I don't really consider that to be claymation because it's not actually made out of, you know, clay. Really like the movie though.
It still stopmtion
Noctoris , That movie is a master piece.. Especially those amazing fighting scenes.😍
*When Chicken Run isn't on the list...*
Stinkyink tbh, I actually thought it was kind of boring
Chicken run was a claymation
Eh It Was Ok But Not Anything Amazing In My Opinion.
Stinkyink Maybe one Aardman movie allowed...
I'm not a fan of the wallace and gromit animation style they used in chicken run, but I probably should've given it an honourable mention alongside wallace and gromit in retrospect. It really stood out in the claymation field at the time.
After closing the video, I immediatly went to watch Mary and Max.
I had never heard about it, like...almost every other Australian movies, anyway I loved it.
I'm aspie too and I appreciated this rapresentation of the own feelings of an aspie person about him/herself, that doesn't have to feel defective just for being different.
Me too
I agree. if I find the Movie Mary and Max I would immediately watch it because I'm an aspie myself and I think that it the movie discusses AD pretty well
I am not an Aspie, but this movie looks amazing!
@@gussygamingprofessional6433 You can be anything!
@PhantomStrider I'm on the spectrum, too, nice...! 😉
Great video. Just a quick question. Have you ever seen Kubo and the Two Strings? I would love to know what you think of all of the Laika Studio movies (Coraline, Paranorman, Box Trolls, and Kubo). I love Laika studios as I think they make some of the most original and beautiful movies nowadays. I hope they can make more.
Ah hey Robyn :) ah Kubo :D to be honest it definitely would've got a mention but I mistakenly thought it was CG >.< I loved the more dreamy atmosphere of Kubo and that fantasy element throughout it, while also feeling a hair more brutal. Only thing I'd say is I didn't follow the story too well. I really hope to see more from Laika studios too.

1) Coraline
I do like a lot of Aardman Animations movies though
I love Coraline.
Silver Redfox I agree
I 1000000% agree
I love Tim Burton stuff like the nightmare before Christmas and corpse bride but Coraline has a really special place in my heart
Silver Redfox, all Tim burton. Same
My top 5:
1. Isle of Dogs
2. Kubo and the Two Strings
3. Nightmare Before Christmas
4. Chicken Run
5. Fantastic Mr. Fox
I completely agree! I grew up with all of them (except for Kubo lol)
I personally dislike Isle Of Dogs, even though I love dogs. The plot was weird, the animation would get muddled with words so it wasn’t even great seeing the visuals , and again, the story was unusual, not in a way I personally like, but I do respect your opinion. I also think Kubo should have been on
I loved chicken run when I was a kid
Nightmare before Christmas Is number 3 you r dumb
@@charizard_awesomepoco234 "The animation would get muddled with words so it wasn’t even great seeing the visuals," - Please elaborate.
I am kinda surprised that Kubo and the Two Strings didn't get mention. However, I still liked the list.
I thought the same. Although it was more origami than clay what inspired it.

isle of dogs is amazing
UA-cam almost 2 years later: let's recommend this.
True

I got 3 years later.
My favorite movie of all time is The Corpse Bride. It took 10.5 years to make and every detail shows. The flawless facial expressions, the beautiful details of “bouncing walking” and wind. People only seem to remember Nightmare, but CB has it all.
I loved the whole change in tone between the living and the dead, and how the dead world was more colorful despite the dark aspect, and how the living world was almost devoid of all color.
Corpse Bride took a decade and a half to make? Holy crap, that's dedication
The Corpse Bride was in production for two years, not over a decade.
Thank you for saying something about corpse bride I feel like nightmare before Christmas is so overrated, compared to corpse bride

I personally LOVE Wallace and Gromit! From the original shorts, to the Cracking Contraptions, to the Curse of the Were-Rabbit they all are so beautifully animated and so much fun to watch! I also think Chicken Run deserved an honorable mention. But I respect your opinion! I'd love to see you do a top 10 best and worst episodes of Danny Phantom, too, if you get a chance!

Chicken Run, Wallace and Gromit the Curse of The Were-Rabbit, and Flushed Away are all awesome
I admitted that I grew up with W&G movie (Curse Of The Were-Rabbit) but I have'nt grew up with the shorts. That's why I need to watch some shorts like Close Shave (where my childhood Shaun The Sheep made his first appearance) and Wrong Trousers (that penguin though).
I agree!!!!
@@kjs257incpen3 someone who knows flushed away?! Yes!
Isle Of Dogs is probably my favourite stop motion movie rn, but The Night Before Christmas is forever a classic.
花陽気な Isle of Dogs is really good! I really wish that we could have a new stop motion movie by Tim Burton but I’m not sure how it can capture the same magic as The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Honestly I feel like my top three best would be
3-Some battle between Coraline and Isle Of Dogs
2-Fantastic Mr.Fox
1-The Nightmare Before Christmas
I know! Isle of dogs is just beautiful, it’s actually my favourite, but I do agree that nightmare before Christmas is always going to be a classic
it sucked
I loved Isle of Dogs, but that girl with blonde hair ruined it.

For years I thought James and the Giant Peach was just some crazy fever dream I had as a small child. It was only relatively recently that I found out that it is an actual movie X'D
Helmed by Tim Burton, no less! The first of the 2 Roald Dahl adaptations he's worked on to-date.
Oml same
Mathew Haswell I love Tim Burton but James and the Giant Peach wasn't creepy enough and that somehow made it creepier. I love dark and messed up kids movie and Burton and Don Bluth films are my life line but Peach is the Burton equivalent of A Troll In Central Park. Both were cheesey and creepy at the same time.
Charlie And The Chocolate Factory mixed humor and Burton's creepiness a fair bit better, IMO. Portraying Wonka as being visibly unhinged and detached from reality - as a long-time shut-in with only glorified slaves for company would likely be in real life - works as a darker/"realistic" take on him, IMO.
Rae-Dio Rambles HAH. Thank god i never saw that movie as a kid.
Claymation has always impressed me.

my cousin kacie will be so glad to hear you say that. she is the biggest fan of the movie.
I love the nightmare of Christmas I watch it like twenty times a year its so good
sorry if i upset you with what i said. my cousin really loves the nightmare before christmas.
I can’t believe nightmare before christmas is on the list its a classic 🌟
i know!
Nightmare Before Christmas has the luxury of being a double holiday season movie. Here in the USA it's shown around both Halloween and Christmas. I think you overlooked Kubo and the two strings for a good stop motion though. Also could I request that you do a list of the top 10 Animated Cult Classics? And also top 10 Worst Animated Cult Classics? If you already have a similar list could you please put a link. I have joint damage and it's hard to search.

Right when i Read This i heard the same Line
I think my favorite is Coraline. I just really enjoy the story and ideas in that movie, though I agree the Nightmare before Christmas is probably technically the best if only because it is so much more memorable and more timeless. It was also the first movie that really wowed me with stop motion and dynamic camera shots. I used to to hate it seeing the super static shots in Rudolph movies(unpopular opinion I know, but I personally don’t like it, though I’m sure much hard work went into it). I love stop motion now. I think some other honorable mentions should be corpse bride for some stunning visuals and paranorman for the 2nd half and ending.
Corpse Bride is stop motion?????
hinatachan96 yes
@WOWOW MUCH bad content same m8
God, the visuals in Coraline deserve all the praise they get. Otherworld is so creepy, yet beautiful.
ParaNorman is definitely worth the watch, too, but be warned...
The climax of the movie is heartbreaking.

4)Kubo and The Two Strings

Stop motion has always been cool.

1. Corpse Bride because it's just so beautifully well done :P
2. Nightmare before Christmas because we all love a Halloween movie
3. Coraline because I love creepy movies lol
Your just one of the nicest people in UA-cam I only feel this kindness and passion with you and slice of otaku this appreciation for there viewers it makes me so happy
other than the bias opinions, you're completely right
I know that Coraline got an honorable mention but I feel like Kubo should have also gotten an honorable mention. Yeah, the story is predictable, I was able to figure it out pretty early on when I saw it in the theater at least but it's still a good story with some great visuals. Personally, I feel like it's the best thing to come from Laika, I might be a tad bias on my feelings towards Laika because I do live in Beaverton & actually do have some connections, mostly have friends of friends but still, hard to not know someone, even if they are an acquaintance, that works for Laika if you live in Beaverton. A friend of mine even got a tour of the studio because she's an artist & was looking for work, she's the friend of the friend I mentioned earlier, since her & her family knows people there, they got to hook her up with the tour & she knew about the Box Trolls before much was released to the public. She wasn't allowed to share much but she told me what she could on it & I relayed that information to a friend of mine who's studying to become an animator, he holds claymation in high regards & was excited to hear about it since he is such a Laika fanboy, he even moved closer to where their studio is. I guess Kubo & the Two Strings is just one of my personal favorites & doesn't line up with the mass majority of which is all cool, I was kinda hoping on it getting an honorable mention but oh well.
For the record I think Kubo deserves more than an honourable mention and your opinion is closer to the mass majority than you might think, Kubo is literally laika's best reviewed movie critically but the unfortunate thing is that it failed commercially. It's a beautiful movie in the most literal sense of the word and I honest to god can't say I've seen any finer and fluent stop motion animation to date. Travis Knight the director of this movie really needs to be given more credit, he was Laika's lead animator for a bunch of their previous films and even contributed to Kubo's animation whilst simultaneously directing the movie. Hell now he's actually became the CEO of Laika. The upcoming Bumblebee movie is going to be his live action directorial debut and whilst people have every right to be skeptical considering how much of a garbage heap the transformers movies are, knowing Knight's previous track records and what he's said in interviews about his vision for the movie I have genuine hope that it'll be great. I respect Phantom's opinions and what not but I honestly cannot lie, I was super disappointed that Kubo was nowhere to be found in this video.
Kubo deserved the oscar
Marlene Martinez Kubo and the two strings is my personal favorite stop motion film. I liked it better than Isle of Dogs as far as the Japanese theme goes. Isle of Dogs is too furry but I think it was good enough to swap out Mr. Fox for it instead. @PhantomStrider when you said that it was not only lwatching a Fox and a Badger but felt like watching two middle aged men my first thought was: a thus a furry fan is born.
He apparently thought that was CGI
Amen. I thought I would see Kubo on this list.
Claymation is hard, painfully long to do, and requires a lot of patience. But there is one animation style that takes all those attributes to a whole new level. Only one movie that I know of was done like this. Look up the movie "loving Vincent". It's insane how much effort went into it.
Isn't that the movie that was animated with like 13 000 Vincent van Gogh-esque paintings?
Yes
i loved that movie! I watched it twice in one weekend just because of how lovely that art is
tommy flores I try to find any stop-motion movie I can find...
Fun fact: In Roald Dahl's original book of James and the Giant Peach, the reason his parents got killed was because James and his parents went to London to do some shopping and a rhinoceros had escaped from the nearby London Zoo and ate them on a crowded street. This shows how the writers of the movie didn't read the book properly.
Yeah but the Rhino had no bearing in the rest of the story like if there was no villain. Also, in the book, the Rhino LITERALLY ate his parents despite them being vegetarian. It just shows how little research the author did on them. Many fans even like to believe the aunts made the movie's depiction to scare and further manipulate James because he's simply a kid. I actually liked what they did with the Rhino BETTER than the book because they actually made it to a psychological fear for James that he has to conquer in order to stand up to his aunts. The changes in the movie IMO worked better. Like instead of weird cloud people, it's badass Jack Skellington pirates. Even the author's aunt fell in love with the movie's changes and felt it would be a movie her husband would've loved. So there's that.
@@brandonspain12345It would have made more sense if the rhinoceros trampled them to death or impaled them with it's horn or a leopard escaped and ate them instead.

It sucked
@@fracturedhearts3734 You also hated Corpse Bride. You must have bad taste in movies.
No pick I did not hate it but compared to the old ones it sucks.
I was terrified of James and the Giant Peach as a kid. It’s weird to hear this description of it. Even little kid me didn’t trust anything on screen (which tragically kept my life devoid of stop motion for years after).
I'm also on the autism spectrum and i think characters like Sheldon from the big bang theory is way too over exaggerated and it's kinda insulting.
Abed's a much better example of a good representation of asperger's. He's not inherently selfish and callous like Sheldon. He still feels but struggles to express emotions. And if there's one thing I know for certain, it's that aspies still feel. Alot.
I didn't know Sheldon had asperger's ..He always says his mother had him tested.. Anyways I had a friend who was fairly similar to Sheldon except he wasn't a genius.. ;-;
Wait So In The Video Did You Say You Were On The Spectrum? Great Video BTW
David Vatnedal Nordtveit I'm personally a fan of Shaun Murphy from "The Good Doctor."
Someone with asperger's: You'll never climb out of your shell if you don't accept your flaws and can't treat jokes and insults as menial.
To me, I consider 'Chicken Run' and Tim Burton's films ('The Nightmare Before Christmas, 'Corpse Bride', etc.) are the best Claymotion films.
Side note, Tim Burton didn't direct Nightmare before Christmas. Henry Selick (director of James and the Giant Peach and Coraline) deserves that honor.
Burton was merely producing it and writing parts of the plot.
+ReasyRandom oh ok. Overall, I still consider him as one of the most influential people in my writing.
He's definitely an influencial person. Edward Scissorhands is my favorite by the way.
+ReasyRandom cool! 👍
Tim Burton films aren't Claymation dude. They're just stop motion. Not all Stop Motion is claymation.

Stop motion has been around since the early days of film but claymation has been around for less time, something around the time you stated. Just wanted to clear that up since I have a bit of a soft spot for both forms of animation (thanks in large part to "Wallace and Gromit" when I was growing up).
*Top 3 Worst & Best Don Bluth Movies*
If the list were anything related to stop-motion, then my favorite stop-motion film would be Into the Spiderverse. In fact, it's my favorite movie period. I could honestly go on for hours about how beautiful it was.
But since the list is only true claymation, then my favorite would be Coraline. I personally hate scary movies and stories, but this one is amazing! It's a very memorable film :)
Pink Hero the spider verse is not a stop motion movie it’s animated
Spiderverse isn't stop motion at all
I know spiderverse isn’t really stop-motion, it’s just similar to it. That’s why I said my favorite TRUE stop-motion film is Coraline
Spiderverse is overrated to me
Pink Hero oh ok
you should have put kubo and the two strings & paranorman for honorable mentions. But that's just my opinion.
Paranorman, Kubo and the Two Strings, Flushed Away and Chicken Run should totally be on this list!!!
Then again, long live claymation!!!! In fact, I could make my own claymation movie South Polar Heroes!!!!
@@kieranstark7213 flushed away is made with cgi
Flushed Away has stop-motion CGI, like Groovenians which was pointted out by Mr. Enter.
I like James and the Giant peach, But I know that it's a bit clunky at times. But I watch it cause of the Claymation characters. I love their unique designs.

Thank you.
Frankenweenie?
I wholeheartedly agree with your list on this topic. Also I had absolutely no idea you had Aspergers, Strider. That's a interesting fact to know of one of my favorite UA-camrs. I never would judge it as a negative or a problem, though. I have been diagnosed with two mental disabilities myself, so I can more or less understand. Mary and Max is absolute favorite of mine because I feel that it's a movie that truly understands disabled people in general. While the world would tell us we're different and some would choose to believe that curing disabilities is doing us a favor, most of us don't want to change and would rather celebrate it as traits that shaped us as people.
I'm an Aspie too and I'm about to graduate University with a Bachelors in IT Networking to add to my Associate of Arts. I'm socially awkward and have anxiety at times but I manage myself and don't like to be considered "disabled or mentally ill" cause there's nothing wrong with me.
I wish I could be an Aspie like you. I do feel held back and limited by my Aspergers syndrome. It's not the only thing that has held me back, but it is significant.
@@Dayglodaydreams We all deal with it differently, so we all get different outcomes. Important thing is to be comfortable with yourself - though that can be the biggest challenge.

Lol funny about the rhino thing from James and the Giant Peach. Rhinos are herbivores..😂
I remember reading that part from the book, and I was all types of confused.
Now that I'm hearing this out loud form the movie, it's so dumb. 😂
Mary and Max is one of my alltime favourite movies; probably because I have Aspergers myself too. And the movie respects the 'disability' so well that I can only recommend this movie to anyone who has never seen it before!
It's a good start to understand aspies and it's just over all a very beautiful movie.
And dear god, I LOVE stopmotion movies so much!
I can only recommend ANY of the three best movies. But especially Mary and Max, it tells such an important message ❤
i have aspergers too and i would love to see this movie
@@evanschulz9704 You should go ahead and watch it then :)
It'll make you feel all kinds of emotions haha
Me too.
I believe Mary and Max was on my Netflix queue for quite awhile (it may still be), but I have to ask, without spoilers-- is it depressing? That's part of why I put off seeing it, as I have to be in a certain mindset to watch heavy drama things.
@@Schornforce
Well, it does have some kinda dark and depressing moments, so if you don't like that, maybe you shouldn't watch it? Or watch it with someone who has already seen it so they can warn you idk
I still can’t debate whether nightmare before Christmas is a Halloween or a Christmas movie???
I'm sure Disney is happy for it to be both lol XD
PhantomStrider what do you think it is?
gengar plays 112 I think it’s both
It’s a November movie so it’s between Halloween and Christmas.
Q: Is Nightmare before Christmas a Halloween or Christmas film?
A: Yes
The Corpse Bride is another amazing stop motion animated movie, and is one of my sisters favorites(along with Coraline and The Nightmare Before Christmas). The world of stop motion is such a wonderful place, but really does depend on good acting and a good plot(which Tim Burton has a good job at making), and I honestly think stop motion is one of the most amazing under rated animation styles.
"Second worst Claymation movie is James and the Giant Peach"
*EXCUSE ME WHAT*
Sheldon is actually my favorite character in The Big Bang Theory. Also it’s so cool to know you’re an Aspie like me! Also I kind of liked Hell and Back. It’s an ok film.
I really don't know why he mentioned Sheldon during that discussion. The show writers have stated in an interview that they don't intend for Sheldon to be on the autism spectrum. Rather, he's just socially awkward and a bit detached from reality on occasion. They then went on to say that Sheldon can be interpreted however the viewer wants.
But I agree, Sheldon is best character. Even if he's one lab accident away from becoming a supervillain.
I liked Hell and Back because I was just in the mood for some funny crude humor and an uninvolved plot that night. If I went in actually wanting to empathize with characters that night, my opinion would be very different.
I'm also on the autism spectrum.
Ditto
As an Aspie, I have no problem with Sheldon. I actually started using his humor a bit. Atypical should stay in the trash can, though.
FrankenWeenie and Coraline were my childhood favorites. I think just the claymation style and horror theme fit together so well. They both had stories I loved and I was intrigued for the whole movie. I wish more movies like that were made
"I do not feel disabled, defective, or in need to be cured. I like being an aspy. Taking it away would be like changing the color of my eyes."
What max says about Asperger Syndrome is how I feel about Epilepsy.
Huh. I would think epilepsy sucks. Good to know.
And Peter simply does.
This is...Family Guy
For me, my favourite stop-motion animated movie is Kubo And The Two Strings. It's made by the same guys as Coraline and ParaNorman. I won't say anything about it, I just recommend you go check it out.
I wish Laika would have more content. Each of their movies (except maaaaybe Boxtrolls) was insightful, imaginative and entertaining.
@@reasyrandom I think I just discovered that Laika made Moonwalker
"Hell and Back isn't just the worst Claymation movie, it falls into the category of some of the worst animated movies ever."
Translation: this movie belongs in the Extra-Special Category of *_ROTTEN!_*
I remember watching Mary and Max when I was around 8 years old and crying *so* hard. The movie was magnificent but to this day, I cannot watch this movie because it just puts me in one of those 'black and white' moods. Though I'm sure that was the effect it was supposed to have, it just makes life seem so sad and unbearably real.
My list for best
1) Corpse bride
2)Nightmare before Christmas
3) Coraline
4) (Ik there is no 4 but whatever) Frankeweenie (that’s how you spell it right?)
Am I the only one who likes James and the Giant Peach
No, you're not. Strider even said it's a cult classic. Just because two famous online reviewers don't like it doesn't mean everyone hates it. Heck, if you've seen the NC's review, you'll notice the entire running gag throughout it was him pretending to like it so the fans wouldn't kill him. If the film wasn't popular, there'd be no inspiration for that painfully forced and unfunny joke.
it sucked
No
I loved that movie as a kid even tho it freaked me out a lot too
I loved that movie as a kid, and it still holds a place in my heart!
I wish Paranorman had been on the list, at least as an honorable mention. It may not have been as imaginative or explored the mind too extensively, but it did touch beautifully on fear, bullying, and being different. I absolutely love its twist on zombies and how it portrayed the 'witch' as how people once saw 'witches', the injustice the accused faced, and how people love to blow up a good scary story while ignoring the weight of the truth. Norman himself was portrayed as the 'different kid' who had trouble fitting in and faced terrible bullying, something that many people can relate to easily.
Stop-Motion. > CGI.
The Official AC SM>Traditional. It's my favorite Animation medium. Fight me.
I love all three! They each have strengths and weaknesses in filming and in expression.
Schornforce I do too, but I just slightly prefer Stop-Motion over the rest...
I love Tim Burton's clay mations and I cannot think of one that is below amazing. Along with a nightmare before Christmas I realy enjoy a corps bride. These dark films are spooky enough to be enjoyed as a hallaween classic but also suitable for chrildren wich is incredable as so many films only speak to one democratic.
I am going to check out that asberges film as I am (probably) asberges myself. XD apparently I am too academic to be tested by the government but evry one I know thinks I am on the spectrum somewhere. Going to be tested soon hopefully by the college I am going to so they can help me. I even had a doctor say I have nothing wrong with my eyes I just struggle to hold eye contact. >_< this may explain why I struggle to socialize
I swear people who do claymation have some godly patience.
gumby it self had more than 100 episodes in the 50s and 60s and the 80s version had like 99 .
I see you everywhere
Yes, see, they're all moved around one frame at a time by total shut-ins. Those people are called animators.
