Top 10 BEST STOPMOTION Movie Characters 

Hey, Anthony! Such an excellent and well-researched ranking! I actually guessed your #1, and I knew you were definitely going to include Medusa. I have some nostalgic fondness and appreciation for the mythology stop-motion animation used in #10, #7, and #3. There was also some solid stop-motion used for some rather frightening puppets in Tales From The Hood as well. Appreciate the breakdown, my friend! 👏👏👏

That 2 headed dragon and ED-209 design are absolutely absolutely incredible. Phill Tippett is undefeated! Also, I will never forget that Medusa design. I remember watching Clash of The Titans for the first time during that tense scene. I was blown away. Great stuff. Fantastic countdown, good sir!

I had just showed my son Willow two days ago. He loved the two headed dragon scene. So awesome.

Great list! Stop motion and practical effects are unique and takes time that's why I love hearing the history about those behind the scene movies.

The Gate! Omg! Haven't seen that in 30 years. I recently saw the skeleton scene in 4k, super clean and interpolated. A rare time I would say it helped an already classic fight.

Great video! Glad that you included The Gate. I've always loved the stop motion in that.

This was most, most excellent. You know I love the stop motion. And this was a fantastic look at the art. You really hit several of my all time favorites. The Ymir. The Minions. ED-209. And of course, possibly my favorite as a lad the Cyclops. Not sure if we've talked about Mighty Joe Young before, but that was a childhood favorite as well. I probably watched it more than King Kong.

Some great shouts here Ant bro, especially the Gate. My favorite stop motion of all time is definitely clash of the titans, awesome effects for its time, especially Medussa. 🤜🤛

What a fantastic video Anthony. I ADORE Ray Harryhausens work. I had no idea he worked as a protégé on King Kong!!! That Skeleton army is one of my favs. You showed most of mine. Kratos, Medusa, Cyclops, Centaur and the skeletons. King Kong is incredible too. I don’t think I e seen the original Mighty Joe Young.

Stop Motion animation was truly magical. In fact, It's as magical as 2D animation and puppet movies. (Like the Dark Crystal and Labyrinth.) If only we had more Stop Motion animation today.

That's good sharing video.My bro,,thsnk for sharing and have a good day

Man, this video was a lot of fun. I was expecting to see Mad God pop up, I still need to watch that one as well as a bunch on this list. I remember being so fascinated by the effects in Jason and the Argonauts and those skeletons are creepy as hell, even today. And yes, Hail to the king!

This was exceptional! :) There's certainly some classic cinema here for sure - can`t beat the sense of authenticity that comes from stop motion - and the time, effort and dedication required to pull it off is outstanding! :) Definitely some awesome creature features! :)

Heyy Anthony nice to see you here watching my friend

I've always loved the look of stop- motion. Yeah it doesn't always hold up because we're so used to CGI, but they looked damn good back in the day. Awesome video my friend.

The difference between CGI and Stop-Motion is that Stop-Motion feels more authentic, like if it's actually there with the actors. After watch the Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared tv show, I can say that I like stop motion more than CGI, with Fantastic Mr. Fox being one of my favorite films of all time and bring fully Stop-Motion. Great list.

Anthony, this was an awesome list! There were a few that I had a feeling were going to rank high and I was not disappointed because they are so deserved. What this really made me want to do was go back and rewatch some of those Harryhausen films especially Jason and the Argonauts. And then there were other movies I hadn't even thought of in forever like The Gate! But of course was there ever any doubt that King Kong would not be #1. It remains for me the gold standard, although Mighty Joe Young I agree is a close second.

Another excellent video my friend! The BF really loved this one! You do such good work with all these!

Hi Anthony, fantastic choices. I so forgot about the movie Willow and when I saw the creature from The Gate I was like I so remember that movie 😊.

Fantastic video Anthony! I love stop motion, especially the Harryhausen work, the skeleton sword fight is epic. I just watched GdT's Pinocchio last night and loved it! Highly recommend. 👍

Damn great list my friend. Loved them all.

This was cool Anthony! I love stop motion animation it’s very nostalgic for me. I think part of the inspiration for my art career. It’s so very creative. Of all the incredible ones you’ve shown here I have to choose the Cyclops as my favourite. I was always so fascinated by him. Great top 10 🙌

Yay, I’m glad that ED-209 made your list, I love him so much

Great list. It’s nice to see some appreciation for stop motion

Hey, amazing countdown, medusa freaked me out as a kid, traumatizing 😅and remember watching robocop 1 In the theater. Amazing works of art, awesome list bro

There is always been something kinda freaky about stop motion. i even find the cute stuff kinda creepy. Medusa in Clash Of The Titans was a big favourite of mine from a young age. The Robocop stuff was the best besides when Dick Jones gets killed that was pretty bad. Amazing video as always. See you real soon! 👍

hello, new friend here, full support,

Hats off on this one Anthony! 👏 Great idea and what a list! Some really fantastic facts. I loved stop motion films as a kid. The Children of the Hydra and Talos would be in my top 10 as well as Medusa. The Centaur VS Griffin and Kali from the Sinbad films would be on there along with Gwangi from The Valley of Gwangi and the giant crab from Mysterious Island (which incorporated an actual crab shell/ exoskeleton.)

Great video my dude! Don't think I could've compiled a better list. Kong is definitely king. Stop motion and practical effects just can't be beat. Always enjoyed the stop motion T-Rex in My Science Project, which was done by Rick Baker. Keep making awesome videos and be well.

There's something special about stop motion animation. I actually wanted to do stop motion at one point and do videos on them for youtube. It's a very time consuming process too making sure the animation is nice and smooth, but the end result is worth it. Excellent top 10 my friend!

Stop motion dinosaurs are the best!

What a great vid..... All iconic memorable scenes and characters.... Definitely an underappreciated art form.... Awesome work my friend.... 👍💀 I know it's random but this brought the Hamburger scene from Better off Dead to mind.....ha ha ha....

Excellent list! Where's Little Otik? I'm very hurt by this Anthony. 😭😁🤣🤣🤣

Stop motion monsters = the best 😎😎😎

Great list man Happy too see The Gate Cain and The Chess Pieces from Star Wars on there. I haven't seen Sinbad Yet but the Cyclops is one of my favorite monsters so I do wanna check it out someday and I agree Kong is King one of the best stopmotion creatures ever. I also really like Calibos I think that's how you say it from Clash Of The Titans. The Puppets from Puppet Master I think they whir stop motion and The Little Demons from Subspecies which whir kind of like the gate again not 100 percent sure if they whir stop motion but I think they whir. Keep up the good work stay frosty.

I always liked the Scorpions in Clash Of The Titans

Hey bud, my dads visiting so I'm finding it hard to catch up. I absolutely adore stop motion. I have so much respect for people that do this due to the art design and the patience when it comes to the movements. It's great to see Willow make the cut :) that monster scared the heck out of me but I was always fast by it.

Brilliant episode 🌞

Great video my friend. I loved hearing your thoughts

Great video! I watched this video when you first dropped it but I guess I didn’t comment. I love that you did this, a lot of cool stop motion stuff I still need to check out.

Anthony, let me know if you can see the links I've added to my comment. For some reason, they have only been visible some of the time, as like now (I think... 😏).

Dope lol

As usual, you hit one out of the park, my friend. I liked all of your choices, though a few were new to me, such as Cain in _RoboCop 2,_ and now I want to see the movie. Like you , _Mighty Joe Young_ is a big favorite of mine (great from beginning to end!), and Kong definitely gets top billing--it's sad that the Japanese filmmakers of 1954's _Godzilla_ found stop motion too expensive--a man in a giant monster suit just doesn't cut it. Here are a few more creations that merit consideration: Cowboys, Indians, and Dinosaurs! *_The Valley of Gwangi_* (1969) More Ray Harryhausen?
