The Nightmare Before Christmas will always be a treasure because that’s what got me into stop motion movies

Nick Park is my favourite animator, I always adored his works, especially Wallace and Gromit, and Chicken Run.

The Boxtrolls is an underrated Laika movie! 👍

Don't know what it is but fantastic Mr Fox has always stuck with me. Ever since I watched it with my son when it first came out. Maybe it's the father-son dynamic or being a husband and a protector and often screwing up no matter how hard you try to do it right. My son passed more than two years ago now. I usually watch this movie at least once a year. Good memories

I just love how despite being all spooky monsters Everyone in Nightmare Before Christmas (except for Boogie) is a good hearted person It seems like a really neat world to be apart of

I remembered watching these movies like Wallace and Gromit, Frankenweenie, and four of the Laika films which are Coraline, ParaNorman, The Boxtrolls, and Kubo and the Two Strings (even though I always get too shy on rewatching the last).

Mary & Max is an underrated gem.

I'm honestly shocked that Kubo isn't top 5. It's beyond beautiful.

One film worth mentioning is the Chilean film The Wolf House. I’ve never seen a film tell its story in the way that it does, not just in terms of the set design and how the stop motion effects work, but in so many creative and unique ways in general.

I commend the animators who worked countless hours to make these films possible

Fantastic Mr fox is so good

I love Del Toro's Pinocchio and Kubo and the Two Strings! The artistry is so rich with equally beautiful stories in both films. ❤❤❤

Stop Motion is crazy!

The Pirates! Band of Misfits, also known as The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists! will always be my favourite. Stellar voice cast and I've watched it since I was eight! I mean, come on! It's got David Tennant voicing Charles Darwin ❤

The Nightmare Before Christmas and Gullmero Del Toro's Pinocchio are two of my all time favorite movies! The Nightmare Before Christmas is the movie that got my love with Tim Burton's movies started!

The Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride are both a treasure ❤❤❤❤❤

Even though films like Coraline, ParaNorman and Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio are 3 of my all time favorite movies, I'm not really that big a fan of Stop Motion stuff. I mean I don't hate it but I can certainly appreciate it because like all animation Stop Motion is a form of art.

Guilmero del Toro's Pinocchio is ubdoubtebly the best stop motion film of all time!

I was six years old when I saw The Corpse Bride in theaters. Can’t believe it’s been that long. I was scared at first but I find it mysterious, charming and a unique movie musical

When LAIKA came to the table in 2009, they showed a whole new world. Coraline took us to a world of magic, ParaNorman took us to the dead, The Boxtrolls took us underground of the city, Kubo & The Two Strings took us on a adventure and Missing Link took us on the footsteps of a journey

Masterpiece movies like Corpse Bride almost feel like a dead genre. When was the last time we got a spooky movie with endearing undertones? Not horror, spooky. There’s a difference. I guess Tim Burton does that mostly these days, but still

Corpse Bride, Chicken Run and Wallace & Gromit are so nostalgic ✨ I love them all!

My favorite stop motion films are Nightmare Before Christmas, Fantastic Mr Fox, Kubo and the two strings, Chicken Run, Flushed Away, Wallace and Grommet and Shaun the sheep👍❤️

I find it amazing that this list has great directors, Tim Burton, Guillermo Del Toro and Wes Andersen

I think Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio is a beautiful movie. I may not know much about the director but the way how he made this movie is stunning

The Pirates: Band of Misfits movie is sorely underrated! It doesn’t get as much love and attention as Aardman Studios more famous works.

I think "Nightmare Before Christmas" is the best

The House should have been an honorable mention.

What I like about LAIKA is that they think out of the box. Even though only making five movies from 2009 to 2019. The way how they bring the stories to life is outstanding. I can tell it took a lot of hard work and it paid off

The Nightmare Before Christmas is outstanding

My cousin loves The nightmare before Christmas. 🎉

One of my favourite stop motion animated films is 1983's The Wind in the Willows. Not only do the visuals still hold well to this day, but it's one of the best adaptations of Kenneth Grahame's novel. The voice performances were spectacular, the score was beautiful, the songs were some of the most memorable, and its humour is still charming to this day

There's also Wendell and Wild. I know the story is pretty messy but the style, character designs and animation are amazing

Tim Burton strikes on this list. He is known for dark, mysterious and love in his work. I find this ironic cause BeetleJuice 2 is coming out this year in October (when you say his name three times)

My favorite stop motion is Wallace and Gromit. It was my childhood. The one about the robot creeped me out at first but I’m over my fear. I find Wallace and Gromit very charming and I enjoyed the DreamWorks movie of it

When I was a little girl, I grew up watching Christmas movies that had stop motion animation until I moved to DreamWorks animated movies

You know number 20 is my all-time favorite number 20 on this list as you may already know because I’ve mentioned it in the comment on your list of scenes from Charlie and the chocolate factory, which is also one of my favorite movies. I am blind and have autism therefore I don’t really care about visuals. All I care about is audio and this movie that number 20 on this list has very good audio I think, it’s like a mix of ET and Indiana Jones and I just really love human and creature friendship stories. I’ve watched this movie in Swedish at least eight times already. It’s on one of my streaming services. I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of a streaming service called Viaplay. Unfortunately since I live in Denmark, the only languages available are danish, Norwegian, Swedish, and English. The reason why that is unfortunate is because I really want to listen to it in Italian. I don’t understand Italian, but I love the sound of it and I love listening to Italian kids radio, TuneIn Radio for some weird reason TuneIn Radio is my Internet radio streaming service. It works really good with screen readers, which is good because I need a screen reader one thing else that I really wish that my movie streaming service Viaplay had is audio description because since number 20 on this movie list is one of my favorites. I want to watch it with audio description, I’ve watched ET with audio description when it was on Netflix I miss being able to do that. Also, one of the things I really love about this movie is that it came out in 2019 just like one of my other favorites unbearable and it has a very similar plot to unbearable, which you guys have featured on, several of your movie lists that’s my favorite DreamWorks movie it reminds me of ET. I know I’m not pronouncing the title correctly and the reason why I say that is because this comment might look weird. It’s because I use speech to text. I can’t use manual typing both because voice does not support quick typing. That’s my screen reader and second of all, even if it did, I would have trouble with it because I have mild coordination difficulties mobile issues coordination issues. It’s annoying sometimes. Also, do you know of anywhere I would be able to watch this with audio description? Please let me know.

I find Fantastic Mr. Fox a great work of stop motion. The cast is beyond amazing and the settings in the movie is very well done

Hooray for Stop Motion films!!!

I love Kubo and the two strings so much.

Fantastic Mr Fox lives rent free in my head. I love that movie so much

James & The Giant Peach and The Nightmare Before Christmas freaks my dad out

Stop motion has heen my fwv since the Rudolph and California raisins days. My fandom over it and artistry admiration increases

While the stop-motion that made _The Nightmare Before Christmas_ popular is remarkable, “This Is Halloween” is the best part of the film, and it’s only the opening sequence. I haven’t seen any version of _Pinocchio_ in full, but Guillermo del Toro’s version may be the one to view.

Junk Head is a good stop motion hidden gem

Why are all stop motion movies brilliant but there are still hardly any of them.

def going to check out Marcel the Shell with Shoes On. I've seen most of these movies already

Kubo and The 2 Strings is a absolute Masterpiece in my opinion. Great Visuals, amazing music, amazing action, Great characters, and just overall Amazing story. Love that Film.

20:27 Owen Wilson’s role is very good in this, it proves you don’t have to be a race car for a great role!

Forgot to mention that Missing Link won an award for Best Animated Feature making it LAIKA’s first win

Nightmare before Christmas is the best Stop-Motion movie ever made

People can argue about which holiday movie Nightmare Before Christmas is all they want, but there’s one thing we can all agree on: it’s a year-round movie. You never feel obligated to only watch it on Halloween or Christmas like you do with other holiday movies. You could watch during the Fourth of July and no one would question it.

Eh, I've never watched The Nightmare Before Christmas when I was a kid. But watching it as an adult, didn't impress me at all, unlike many other movies on this list! So yeah, I would claim that the reason it's so high in many people's list, is because of pure nostalgia!

Both Chicken Run movies are two of the best stop-motion films I've ever seen, especially the music for the first movie. Same with Coraline, Fantastic Mr Fox and Isle Of Dogs

Coraline: "We loved it, Mr. B." Mr. B.: "Mmm Thank you, Wesley."

Fantastic Mr Fox is one of my absolute favourite films, so good!

This is a wonderful list but My Life as a Courgette (My Life as a Zucchini in the US) deserves to be much higher. I know it's not as well known or as culturally impactful as many films in this list, but it's a borderline masterpiece that needs to be seen by all.

What about Pinchcliffe Grand Prix? An oldie but definitely worth a watch.

Probably not the vibe you're going for, but Mad God is absolutely incredible stop motion

Fantastic Mr. Fox was the PERFECT role for George Clooney. He's fresh off his Ocean's Trilogy, and it's like Danny Ocean has just been animated... They did BRILLIANTLY at that movie!

Kind of funny how the earliest stop motion movies are still ranked as some of the best. My top 3 would definitely be Corpse Bride, Coraline with its amazing 3D version, and The Nightmare Before Christmas.

THANK YOU FOR NOT FORGETTING JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH. Disney and most people sure have. 😭😭

I’ve seen most of these movies and putting Fantastic Mr. Fox for number 2 was genius

The Pinchcliffe Grand Prix deserves a spot on that list

Absolutely love the fanatic Mr. Fox. It’s so “different” 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Frankenweenie is based off of a short Disney film from the early 90’s. Which is in turn based off of Frankenstein. It was live action, also in black and white.

I love Coraline and fantastic mr fox they’re both great films a visually appealing

No we didn't forget any stop-motion classics on TV or on Hulu or on the DVDs or on Disney Plus like Missing Link and Shaun The Sheep The Movie and Isle of Dogs and The Pirates of Band Misfits and Paranorman and Frankenweenie and Kubo and the Two Strings and Marcel the Shell with shoes on and

You got number one right and so it was the rest of the list: absolutely brilliant movies

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio, definitely. The stop-motion is so smooth it almost looks animated. Yes, The Nightmare Before Christmas revitalized stop-motion, but it hasn't aged well.

love these stop motion movies ❤

Honorable mentions Boxtrolls (2014) Flushed Away (2006) Chicken Run: Dawn Of The Nugget (2023) The Lego Movie (2014) King Kong (1933)

Corpse Bride is still one of my favourite movies to date I even dressed up as her for Halloween one year

*Disney's The Nightmare Before Christmas, Tim Burton's The Corpse Bride, Missing Link, The Little Prince, Isle of Dogs, The Pirates! Band of Misfits, Paranorman, Anomalisa, Disney's Frankenweenie, Kubo and the Two Strings, James and the Giant Peach, Marcel the Shell With Shoes On, Chicken Run, Chicken Run 2: Dawn of the Nugget, Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Coraline and Fantastic Mr. Fox* are all THE Best Amazing and Stunning Stop Motion Animated Movies I've ever seen with my Family and Friends throughout the years! They're all Super Incredible, Remarkable, Spectacular, Spectacular, Splendorous and Fantabulous!

Chicken Run and Wallace & Gromit The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit and Coraline and Fantastic Mr. Fox and The Nightmare Before Christmas

Coraline, Fantastic Mr. Fox and Chicken Run is my Top 3 Stop Motion Animated favorite movies.

The Nightmare Before Christmas, the perfect movie to watch on either Halloween or Christmas. I'm glad it's number 1.

Who loves Tim Burton?

I love Stop motion movies. Almost have all of them in my collection. I highly recommend 'Chuck Steel: Night of the Trampires' Wendell & wild was Nice too

Kubo included Laika's smallest and largest figure. The smallest being the paper samurai at less than an inch tall and the largest the red skeleton at over 10ft. I got to see both at Seattle MOPOP

I see fantastic mr fox, and i click

the fact Buddy Thunderstruck didn't make it as a honorable mention makes me sad

Kubo and the 2 strings I love it

So you mentioned everything but the animated series when it came to The Little Prince? I have personally had a big interest in stop motion animation since a child of the 80s with Will Vinton and Ray Harryhausen big two big personal inspirations for me. Nightmare Before Christmas has been one of my and my older brothers favorite films since we saw it in the theatre in the early 90s. I own a copy of that one on 3D Blu-ray, and yes I do own a 3D TV.

Wow, I know 10 movies from this list. pirates band of misfits, paranorman, frankenweenie, corpse bride, james and the giant peach, chicken run, wallace and gromit: curse of the were-rabbit, coraline, fantastic mr fox and the nightmare before christmas

Stop Motion will always be my favourite animation style. And coraline is my favourite stop motion movie. Other stop motion movies worth watching: Wendell and Wild Early Man Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget The House

I've seen "James and the Giant Peach" part of "Chicken Run" and part of "Nightmare Before Christmas". I want to see the full movies them, along with the others in this list. I've also seen trailers for "Coraline" and "The Missing Link".

The nightmare before Christmas terrified me as a kid. I could never get through the first 30 minutes without shutting it off. I only watched all the way through in my late teen years

My top 3 are Nightmare before Christmas Coraline Fantastic mr fox Hm: chicken run , corpse bride

9:41 plus it was also the first R Rated animated movie to be nominated at the oscars

Stop Motion is an amazing art form

Fun fact: I saw Kubo and the Two Strings on opening day, and a Japanese family just so happened to be sitting next to me.

I feel like if Laika and Del Toro teamed up the world wouldn’t be ready

Not a single mention of Ray Harryhausen. That is positively criminal to neglect the early master of stop motion animation, who was advised by Willis O'Brien (one of the original crew that created King Kong.)

Is Charlie Brown and The Magic Round About Stop Motion . Also TMNT : Mayhem was pretty darn good too .

Always loved Fantastic Mr. Fox! I mean come on, you gotta love George Clooney as Mr. Fox

I would include the movie 9 which had an incredible cast and I would also say a special shout out to Wendyl and Wild by Jordan Peele and Henry Selick
