Oh yeah, that is a pretty cool one. Too bad there was a decade gap in between Vinvent and NBXmas though. Its interesting to see stop motion animation used in live action films, like DavidLynch's Eraserhead(1978) or even Return of the Jedi(1983).

Oh, but the most avant garde, envelope pushing anime has *got* to be Davey and Goliath!

In Return of the Jedi was that the part were there were those AT walkers ?

I love stop motion, its so fun to watch. My favorites would have to be:
-Nightmare Before Christmas--such a great movie!
-Wallace and Gromitt--I remember once in chemistry, we didn't have anything to do and my teacher let us watch W&G instead, that was the best chemistry class EVER!
-ALL Rankin/Bass films

My favorite is the more obscure "Jack Frost" special.

I agree, that one is definitley one of my favorites along with Year Without A Santa Claus and Santa Claus is coming to Town (mmmm, I love Christmas )
--Chicken Run--Nick Park rules
--Creature Comforts--we used to watch this in art all the time, those were good days.

Full-length Wallace and Grommit film???? SCORE!!!! (My world just got a little happier!!! )
Love Wallace & Grommit & Chicken Run, those Rankin & Bass stop-motion ones, (I LOVE Nester), California Raisins, & the Claymation Christmas special!!!! (I am SOO sad my tape of CCS is wearing out... )
Oh, and Comical_Dr Bob, I don't know if the AT-AT's were stop-motion, but I KNOW the Rancor in ROTJ was!

A while ago I heard that Mike Johnson (The Devil Went Down To Georgia) is in the UK, directing Burton's new stop-motion feature. Is this it? [/B]

Yup that's it, this is Mike Johnson's first full length feature. I just don't know if Burton is actually producing it... Wish I knew what studio too...If Burton isn't attached to it anymore this could easily become something similar to Monkeybone. (where Burton had nothing to do with it but many people thought he directed it) There's also some people who still believe that ridiculous rumor that Burton directed Mystery Men under the "alias" Kinka Usher.

My cousin (who is one of my best friends, BTW) was devistated that he taped over his copy of A Claymatiuon Christmas. Everytime I go over his house, I pop my copy (rapidly deteriorating as well) into the VCR. We Skip everything but the Carol of the Bells. You can never hear the video at this point. We laugh so hard, they almost have to call the cops or something. I mean, how funny is, "Duh.. I los' mine!"

 

[Manda:-D]

The Carol of the Bells is MY favorite, too!!!! Sometimes we'd rewind and watch just that part over and over....(Hm, no wonder it's all worn out!) I double over laughing EVERY TIME I see it!!!
