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

Gumby? Gumby. GUMBY~! Also, that scene from Mary & Max where Max is at the receptionists, then it cut to him on the train with a chair from the office? I howled out in laughter, as one thing I often joke about (being an Aspie myself) every time I'm told to "take a seat" at an appointment is that "none of them matches the decor at home"!

I remember watching Mary and Max. Thinking it was a kid movie. Why did I make that decision.

I saw "Fantastic Planet" once a long time ago, and I remember really liking it but being unable to find it again because I couldn't remember the title. Plus, I learned stuff I never knew about it. Thank you AniMat!

Mary and Max was a great movie. Although parts of the visuals were an acquired taste, the themes were handled well and most the jokes were hilarious. As an aspie myself I was impressed by how unbiased they were with talking about the condition. Overall it's a cool movie, and showcases how powerful animated movies can be. It's a difficult movie, but still an especially good one.

Mary and Max is one of the few movies that made me cry like a baby. I wish more animated films can tackle hard subjects like the ones in this film.

I am realar's girlfriend irl, and I have to say this: Thank you. This video made him so happy, and it made my day to see him tearing up in joy as you mentioned his grandfather with such praise. I've seen your movie reviews, and though the other videos are indeed part of the reason, most of the reason I am subscribing is this video alone, for the joy you gave him. Thank you.

animation is my favorite art form as you can do anything with it like do a time period feature or even a weird film like the yellow sumbirne.

It seems Twice Upon a Time jump started the careers for a ton of important people. That and the film on it's own really makes me want to see it now.

Twice Upon a Time aired on the Disney Channel in the 90s. I have it recorded on tape and it was how I saw the film.

this channel is a national treasure. thank you so much.

Loved Mary and max so beautiful and I did cry a bit and the end x

Max and Mary was so sad. It was so real I was crying for hours

Phelous should review Twice Upon a Time because Lorenzo Music is in the movie as Ralph. (And you know how much Phelous likes Lorenzo Music)

Davey and Goliath is also made by the creators of Gumby

if Michael Jackson did do the music for the movie, it may have had a change of being a box office hit.

I never saw Mary and Max, but I remember coming across a clip from the film awhile back where Max talks about Asperger's. Since I have Asperger's myself, i thought the clip was totally relatable, and I might watch the whole film. But don't know if it's rated PG or not...

Mary & Max is the best movie ever

I owned Gumby the movie as a kid and was freaked out by it, not understanding how old it was and the fact that the song at the beginning really freaked me out. I discovered Gumby when I saw him on a wall at a restaurant me and my family were eating at. In fact that was when I first learned about cancellation and began hunting it down. I found the movie and had fun watching it. I would say that Mary and Max looks older than it is and as I said it was depressing. But overall I liked Gumby and Mary and Max was probably not for my taste.

I got more and more hyped to tgo watch "Twice upon a Time". Now it's one of my tasks in life.

Mary and max is honestly one of the best movies I have seen. The black and white and animation style was all so lovely and then the story and characters to add to it 😻

Dude! I grew up with Gumby! I had VHS tapes that I'd watch all the time, and mom says it's the only thing I'd have the patience to watch as a toddler. I was actually quite underwhelmed at the movie.

Mary and Max is a masterpiece of a movie.

Klay World by Robert Benfer (or Knoxkorner as he was known back on Newgrounds) was particularly inspirational.

I love this channel! Every video is well researched, well made, well written and they are always so intriguing. I have lots of fun watching these videos as they’ve helped me get more interested in animation. This specific video is my personal favourite out of all your videos and I really appreciate how you give lots of underrated movies lots of credit, which they deserve. I’ve recommended you to lots of my friends and told them all these cool facts from your videos which have helped them be intrigued. Great channel! Hope you reach a million subscribers because you really deserve it at this point.

I'm 20, and Gumby was a figure I had known since my childhood. Being apart of my father's childhood, we had some figures og Gumby. Also, me and my siblings saw the Gumby Movie at a relative's house.

1:34 Irony: you should have said "just like South Park" cause it's also cutout animation too

I'm not entirely sure, but the way I see it the Gumby movie would definitely be considered an underrated movie.

Mary and Max makes me cry every god damn time

I wish he would review fantastic planet on its own. There needs to be a in depth comparison to it and avatar which Cameron to debate if he clearly either ripped off or did a tribute to it.

Great video, Matt. As always.

No, he said we are coming to the end of this look back :(, also love the Robin Williams clip.

I used to have some Gumby earrings at some point. I wish I knew what happened to them. I loved that show.

Fantastic planet really does look like something that came out of a monty python cartoon

awesome video! great research!

Great vid! I'm gonna subscribe for more!

Plot twist. The fantastic planet was megamind’s birth planet

Mary and Max Story: 10/10 Animation/7/10 Characters: 9.9/10

The end off Mary & Max Always make me cry

THE BEST VIDEO! OF STOP-MOTION

I wonder if he would ever consider doing an episode on some of the exceptional animation that one can find right here on RU-vid? There's this gorgeously detailed and unique little stop motion film called "The Maker" that I really think deserves more attention.

"Fantastic Planet" kind of reminds me of something I have seen on a music album cover.. I forget which one, but the blue people look familiar:/

Don't forget about my stop motion/ live action feature "Imagination" ! Been enjoying your vids on stop mo!

Animat, did you know that Fantastic Planet became the 4th Animated film released on Criterion in June of this year?

I just watched Mary and max last night it was the most depressing movie I've ever seen.

I love Adam Elliot's work. I was first exposed to him when I watched Harvie Krumpet on TV.

What sucks is that these have a lot of effort in them, but don't get that much attention. Mary and Max is an amazing film.

Ralph: It does Kinda stink doesn't it but then again it's garbage you know. Garfield: uh the kitchen looks like a dump the living room looks like i think a lot of garbage all over it. 8:41

Paul Freese also played John and George in the 1960s Beatles cartoon

Dallas McKennon was also the voice of Archie and a few other characters over at Filmation.

I love Dallas McKennon's work. By the way, that cartoon with Buzz Buzzard you showed at 15:28, he was voiced by someone else.

Another example of paper still animation like what was used in fantastic planet was the earlier seasons of South Park

I watched Gumby as a kid.

I never seen Gumby the movie but I do enjoy the shorts from the late 50s and early 60s

That weird eared guy from Mary and Max looked a bit like the early 1996 design of Shrek.

I believe that despite what the gross was, the full original version of Gumby the Movie (as in the version all of the scenes in it that was released from kid vision) should be released on dvd and blu ray very soon as what I think could be a special edition.

I wanted to watch twice upon a time now

wait a minute... MAX HAS SHREK'S EARS

when looking at the stop motion films on Wikipedia I had a question. WHO TOOK TWICE UPON A TIME OFF OF THE PAGE? and Has anyone saw 2010 the year we made contact

1:04 DEMON imagine watching this at 3 in the morning

I love twice upon a time

Please review Mary and max!!

Rewatching this...I can't believe you didn't talk about The Adventures of Prince Achmed!

I remember watching Gumby as a kid

August 5 is the 32nd anniversary of twice upon a time. Correct me if I'm wrong

Use to rent Gumby from blockbuster as a little kid. I still love poky

Adam Elliot worked on De Blob! I love that game

I loved the Gumby Movie. Wouldn’t stop watching it when I had it. As for Mary & Max... hoo boy. It’s commendable but not a movie I would watch again. Maybe I would get more out of it now as opposed to years ago. Then again, seeing these clips made me think more about it. Like it might be more relatable? Like maybe I relate to Max but in a less extreme way?

What about Davey and Goliath?

Will you make a video discussing the works of Ivo Caprino?

what an outrageous french accent!

are you going to talk about Fantastic Mr.fox? I don't know a lot about Wes Anderson, but I know he did that film

I did a Review of "Twice Upon A Time" still working on The Commentary.

I really want to see Fantastic Planet, Twice Appon a Time, and Mary and Max

I watch mary and Max on Netflix with my mom and i thought it was good

Even though the gross for the Gumby movie was $57,100 dollars that, I believe, is still a huge amount of money for a movie's gross. Getting down to the real point, the original version of that movie should be released on blu ray, how can I put this, very soon.

I actually have Asbergers Syndrome.

Can you do a LIVE ACTION review on my favorite movies GODZILLA (2014) & WAR OF THE WORLDS (2005)?

133rd view meow Have you thought about doing a look-back at the British children's shows that were made in the 60s onwards? A lot of iconic shows are all animation in varying degrees; these are just how I would describe them: Bagpuss, The Wombles, The Clangers, Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids = puppets and stop-motion Chorlton and the Wheelies, Camberwick Green, Trumpton = toys and stop-motion Ivor the Engine, Mr Benn, Captain Pugwash (the original version) = paper art Roobarb, Spider in the Bath = looks like a kids drawing

I just liked watching Gumby cartoons.

And why did Animat never talk about Rankin Bass?

16:37 It's ugly, i think I'll, yeah.

Did anyone else hear that burp sound?

I know these are video games, but their stop motion. Can you talk about clay fighters, nightmare Ned, the neverhood, and the dream machine

9:38 Comedy Gold!!

Wait, o they been pen pals for 20 years, but one of them is 8.....I don't it works like that

what is this song called? 15:10

I love gumby

Perpetuum Mobile

a small girl from Australia being pen pals with a full grown man in new York... not creepy at all

Speaking of, can you PLEASE do a (animation lookback: the infamous works of ralph bakshi)?

Were is in the hall of the mountain king?

12:33Yes,yes it was I reviewed it.

ElectricDragon505 It does seem like 2015 IS the comeback year. Here's a few of the returning shows: Powerpuff girls Dragonball Z (as movies) Digimon MegasXRL (Said to be released, although no further word) Magic School Bus These are only a few ofc, there were many more but I can't remember, forgot and/or can't find them. I hope this is the start of something amazing. Maybe teen titans season 6 will air, then again teen titans go is still about. That and prior a bunch of series have already returned, one of which is, ahem. *Deep Voice* : " Xiaolin Showdown! " As Xiaolin chronicles. I can't wait for season 2, that's where the last series "kicked off".

15:10 what is that song?

I'm pretty sure that the Gumby movie was a whole lot better than the other three movies that you talked about. At least that's what I believe. I think that, regardless of what the gross for Gumby the Movie was, I believe that the original 90 minute version of that movie should be released (hopefully soon) on dvd as a special edition. In fact, both the original 90 minute version and the director's cut should be released on dvd as a 2-disc set. One disc would have the original 90 minute version while the other would have the director's cut. But both discs would have all of the dvd features such as the special features, scene selections, and subtitles. You understand what I mean, don't you?
