The First Stop Motion Films - Animation Lookback: The Best of Stop Motion 

That hand animation was pretty good

Stop Motion is the most underrated anination style

R.I.P. Ray Harryhausen.

Disneyland Announcer: And now your host, Mat Brunet. Seriously though, that intro reminded me of Walt Disney in the Disneyland show.

That thumbnail is godamn terrifying.

Last night I've been jumpscared by some character on one of someone's adult cartoon film collection video, and now I figured out what character it was, now I know it was the freaky white rabbit from the 1988 film Alice that scared me, boy what a shock!

14:35 Thanks Jan Švankmajer, we needed to scare lots of children with that.

The stopmotion with the hand at the beginning of the video was awesome! Super smooth movements! :)

1925, Willis O' Brien silent The Lost World. the start of something big. George Pal was also getting his start, in the early thirties.

Jan is an extremely amazing artist , he made full life sized realistic sculptures of acters to animate things no human could do and would swap between them , he did many amazing shorts and films you he desvers a full video on him.

You remind me of Walt Disney giving an opening speech during the intro. I love this ;_:

I remember being creeped out by seventies big round headed characters on stop motion animation films. Christmas ones and especially this monster movie with Dracula and Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde and the mummy that keeps losing it's head which rolls around on the floor. Creepy as hell but I couldn't look away..

I can't wait until you do the Ray Harryhausen films. He, and Nick Park, were the reasons why I wanted to be an animator.

I can't decide if it's impressive or sad that the 1920s propaganda retelling of Gulliver's Travels is infinitely better than Jack Black's movie.

1:21 ...okay...

For stuff made almost a century ago, the animation is shockingly good.

Jiri Trnka's The Hand is another good stop motion film. One of my top favs.

14:35 nope nope nope nope nope nope nope so much nope!

I appreciate the time and focus that u put in to show us these and explain the facts and history. I'm really enjoying them

I was waiting on the inevitable Svankmajer appearance and frankly, as a fan...100% A+++ sums up the experience perfectly, well done indeed

It's like everytime Animat ends of an Alice movie. There always scary scenes at the end. First Hungry Donald scary stare. And now the nightmare version of Alice. It's like screamers.

Speaking of Sesame Street and Kermit you should do an animation lookback on the muppets and Jim Henson

I nearly shit my pants when this showed up in my subscription box!

Gotta say, this is probably my FAVORITE media of animation and am so excited for this lookback series!! MOAR PLEASE

The Alice one from the 80s is one of my favorites!

14:30 GOOD GOD ANIMAT dont scare us like that

Oh god, is that where American McGee got his idea from!? O~O

There’s something very deeply haunting about seeing these films

Ya know, i watched The golden Key, and i find it very interesting. The creators used some nice ideas: Stop Motion (To portray Alice and Basilio, Burattino's face movement and Artemon (portrayed by a real poodle) packing up Turcoise haired girl's things) Split-screen (like Where Alice the vixen and Basilio the cat were begging) Puppetering (in scenes like where Burattino interacts with Duremar, Carabas-Barabas and Father Carlo) Combined scenery (so actors portraying puppets would look smaller by comparison to normal people)

Finally a new animation lookback

All hope is not lost for the Lou Bunin ALICE film. Animation historian Steve Stanchfield is currently working on a Blu-Ray containing Bunin's films, with commercials, short films and the ALICE feature itself (from the MoMA print you mentioned). He also put out a BluRay/DVD combo of Max Fleischer's GULLIVER TRAVEL'S (with bonus Fleischer cartoons, natch) using actual 35mm Technicolor prints, blowing all other copies out of the water.

14:35-14:46 JESUS CHRIST!!!! WHAT THE HELL?! WAS THAT FILM INTENDED TO CAUSE NIGHTMARES?!! and that bunny on 12:01-12:06 scared me a bit too but not as much as that "other" Alice movie. I never realized how dark Alice in Wonderland can be! But still, great start to your new lookback! Keep up the good work, Mat!

I haven’t seen these stop motion examples before. Beautiful animation. Great video. Thanks.

I can't wait for more, this lookback is awesome!! XD

Without as hint of irony, this is really really fascinating!

You should do a full episode on ladislas starevich. He was basically the Tim Burton of the early 1900s. Especially the film "The Devils Ball".

I wish they would make more stop motion movies. I love them so much! :)

Good video. The editing is especially great and looks very professional.

Really great so far! You mentioned quite a few films I'm not familiar with that I'll definitely have to look for. I'm looking forward to what's next. :)

I love stop motion so much, and it's great to hear about some of it's history from you.

14:35-14:46 WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!?!?!?!?! 😳😳

Extremely interesting film! Thanks for making it.

Awesome content (: thanks for taking the time to make these videos!

Walt Disney was so unhappy that the stop-motion version of Alice In Wonderland was coming out in the US the same time as HIS version. This like Antz and A Bug's Life in 1998 all over again.

16:05 Duck Hunt!!!!! Do the laugh!

Sweet Lord, I remember watching that creepy 80s version of Alice back in high school.........

An adaptation of James & The Giant Peach with actual dead bugs would be horrifying.

Lmao 14:34 Great covering up the subject! I really appreciate your insight and perspective.

Please please make more like these!!!

nice video, I really love stopmotion movies

A very interesting tidbit of animation history. Will you make special video talking about the works of Ivo Caprino, the creator of the Pincliffe Grand Prix?

14:35-14:46 DUDE!! DON'T YOU SCARE ME LIKE THAT!

Oh god! Are you from France or quebec or something? Your french is PERFECT! (And so beautiful

Fantastic Mr. Fox and Frankenweenie are my favorites. 😊

Such a Great documentary series from someone so underrated. Keep doing this good stuff animat :)

You Didn't talk about Rankin-Bass or George Pal's Puppetoons

Stop motion is probably my favourite medium in general tbh.

Like how most people get scare of svankmajer's films, i since knew them, and had seen his filmografy as much as could fine , had love, with all heart, its lore art.... Its grotesque expression ain't best but still, is pretty rich on passion and madness, kind of like David Firth or Crypt tv nowadays..mean its just awesome to see.

The narrating

oh cool! new animation lookback!

FINALLY IT CAME OUT

16:05 Welcome to the Smash Bros. roster, buddy. You know, I'm sorry for bashing you for laughing at me because I missed a duck. You're a pretty cool guy.

Monarchy isn't capitalism, just so you're clear on that.

Thanks a lot for showing that gahh it's almost time for me to go to bed thanks

Oh good, this is only part one, since the TNBC brought back stop motion movies to life and has become a classic

Poor animat.I knew that was coming as soon as he said "other".

Please tell me that Gumby will have spot on this list!

Stop-motion is quite experimental in the field of animation.

The hand looks more likes the monkys paw

What about all the 1960s stop motion animated holiday films?

YES!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!

14:32 Oh good god indeed

I've learned a lot.

i read somewhere that something called 'the humpty dumpty circus' was the first stop motion movie, from 1898. theres also another one with the same title from 1914. but the first one is a lost film now. shame, id love to see it.

OMG you would make an amazing "Kevin French" voice over from that old tv show "Mission Hill"

Hey, Mat. Do you think you could do a review of the opening for Star Wars Rebels?

I love the Svankmajer version the most, is by far my favorite .

Good retrospetive

Oh! Animat is an animator! :-)

Hello I am from Russia. I liked the video, thanks.

I felt uncomfortable watching this, although I like how the guys that would later work with the creator of the muppets worked on the Hansel and gretal movie.

17:0something That's surprising,seeing as he worked with Jim Henson.

The first to use the stop motion is Gulliver The first stop motion movie is the tale of the fox

12:00 That bunny though!

The fabulous worlds of Jules Verne is another fine example.

I can't find the full "Le Roman de Renard" movie anywhere, anyone knows where I might look for it?

Animat you da bomb

i watched the hansel and gretel movie in elementary school!

Maybe in your next video you can put some of the Wallace and Gromit shorts.

That Alice in Wonderland film scared the shit outta me.

Did part 2 get deleted because of copyright or something just wondering

i beleve that the very first stop motion film is the humpty dumpty circus which was released in 1898 sadly i cant find any facts of the short

My favourite stop motion was Wind in the Willows by Cosegrove Hall

when will part 2 be out

Ah yes. I remember watching that version of Alice. It was....interesting to say the least, if not terrifying.

What was the Gulliver's Travels film called? It looks cool^.^

Hansel and Gretel an opera fantasy still creeped me out as a kid.

FINALLY
