Movies about Stop motion
Animation is one of cinema’s richest and most evocative visual mediums, allowing endless possibilities to take shape on screen. It takes great skill and creativity, especially in stop-motion animation. While the technique is time-consuming and requires the utmost attention to detail, it gives the film’s character and world a physical volume and a unique hand-made look. The craft and artistry behind the animation have made for many visually stunning movies.
‘Coraline’
Laika, Focus Features, Universal Pictures
Based on the novel by Neil Gaiman, Coraline is one of the most popular stop-motion animated films of all time. The story follows a young girl who discovers a door in her home that leads to an idealized version of her frustrating life, but everything is not what it seems. Coraline pushes the boundaries for a children’s film with its super creepy storyline and characters. However, it is also brimming with imagination and wonder, elevated by its meticulously crafted visuals.
‘Noční můra před Vánoci’
As the first major stop-motion animated film to be released, Ukradené Vánoce permanently changed the creative landscape thanks to its unprecedented visuals. The film, perfect for both Halloween and Christmas viewing, follows Jack Skellington as he discovers Christmas. Many people are under the impression that it is directed by Tim Burton, but it is actually directed by Coraline’s Henry Selick. Burton produced the movie and wrote the story.
‘Chicken Run’
Kuřecí běh marked the first collaboration between DreamWorks and Aardman, as well as Aardman’s first-ever feature film. The 2000s comedy classic follows a rooster and chicken who plan an escape from their evil owners. Kuřecí běh was also the first feature film made using claymation, which has become Aardan’s signature style. The long-awaited and highly anticipated sequel, Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, debuts in December 2023 on Netflix.
‘Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio’
There have been many adaptations of Pinocchio, some being better than others. Guillermo del Toro’s version, released in 2022, is one of the most singular and breathtaking. The beloved tale of a wooden boy brought to life is set against the backdrop of wartime Italy at the height of fascism. Del Toro’s vision is much darker than previous takes and breathes new life into a well-known story. The animation is full of intricate detail, making every frame a sight to behold.
‘Corpse Bride’
Director Tim Burton is known for his quirky and distinctive visual style, which is on full display in Mrtvá nevěsta. When a groom practices his wedding vows in front of a deceased woman’s grave, she comes back to life and thinks they are married. As Burton’s first animated feature as director, it is imbued with his quirkiness and signature gothic style, mainly through its character design. There is a bittersweet love story at its core, told with whimsy and depth.
‘Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit’
After appearing in a series of shorts, claymation duo Wallace and Gromit finally made their big screen debut in Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. The film follows the cheese-loving Wallace and his intelligent dog, Gromit, who must track down the beast threatening the village’s Giant Vegetable Competition. Full of heart, wit, and absurdity, the film was a smash hit for DreamWorks and Aardman, winning the Oscar for Best Animated Feature.
‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’
Based on the classic novel by Roald Dahl, director Wes Anderson brings his unique flare and tone to Fantastic Mr. Fox . When Mr. Fox returns to his old habits of stealing, three farmers threaten him and his kind. The stop-motion animation in the film is so detailed and precise that you can quite literally see every fiber and hair of Mr. Fox and his friends. Anderson brings his signature aesthetic style to the animation landscape with an all-star cast led by George Clooney and Meryl Streep.
‘Frankenweenie’
Inspired by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Frankenweenie sees Tim Burton adapt his live-action short into a stop-motion animated feature. When young Victor Frankenstein’s beloved dog Sparky dies, he uses science to bring it back to life, causing chaos among his neighbors. Presented in black and white, Burton offers a fresh take on the classic monstery story that is both funny and heartfelt. The pairing of Burton and the Frankenstein story is just as good as it sounds on paper.
‘James and the Giant Peach’
Po režii Ukradené Vánoce, director Henry Selick paired with Disney once again to adapt Roald Dahl’s James a obří broskev. The stop-motion animated/live-action hybrid film tells the story of an orphaned boy who befriends a group of bugs who live inside a giant peach. While the film is not as popular as Selick’s other titles, it offers a whimsical and music-filled adventure with heartfelt themes at its core, as well as plenty of memorable and peculiar characters.
‘ParaNorman’
Laika, Focus Features, Universal Pictures
Po úspěchu Coraline, stop-animation house Laika released their second feature film, ParaNorman. Norman, a young boy who can speak to ghosts, must use his abilities to save his town from a deadly curse. He teams up with various eclectic characters, including his bratty older sister and her jock boyfriend. Filled with suburban thrills, zombies, and plenty of laughs, ParaNorman is gorgeously animated with perfectly family-friendly spooky vibes.
‘Marcel the Shell with Shoes On’
From A24, Marcel Skořápka v botách is a stop-motion animated/live-action hybrid film that is the independent studio’s most family-friendly outing. Based on a series of short films, the feature follows Marcel, a tiny mollusk shell searching for his family. Living in an Airbnb, a documentary filmmaker captures Marcel’s story as it reaches millions of people worldwide. Life-affirming and ridiculously adorable, Marcel and his spirit will melt your heart.
‘The House’
Dům is an anthology film from Netflix, consisting of three stories set over different eras in the same house. Featuring human and anthropomorphized animal characters, each story sees something strange and mysterious happen that is tied to the house. The runtime is filled with a creepy and eerie atmosphere while balanced with some great dark comedy. Weird and wonderful, Dům features the voice talents of Mia Goth, Helena Bonham Carter, and more.
‘Shaun the Sheep Movie’
Based on the hugely popular children’s TV series, Aardman’s Film Ovečka Shaun is a bona fide hit and even an Oscar nominee. When The Farmer goes missing, Shaun and the flock travel to the Big City to find him. Despite featuring zero dialogue, just like the show, the film is full of hilarious moments and references and is also surprisingly emotional. ovečka Shaun’s first movie was followed by the 2019 sequel Farmageddon, which is just as much fun.
‘Isle of Dogs’
Almost ten years after Fantastic Mr. Fox, Wes Anderson returned to stop-motion animation with Ostrov psů. Set in the fictional Japanese city of Megasaki, the film sees all dogs banished to an island after a canine flu outbreak as one boy searches for his missing dog. Despite being animated, Anderson’s film isn’t necessarily targeted towards children. The dogs aren’t cute but instead are scruffy and rough around the edges, and the film also features mature themes.
‘Kubo and the Two Strings’
Laika, Focus Features, Universal Pictures
Kubo a dva řetězce is an epic fantasy adventure that is as visually captivating as it is narratively. The film follows a young boy named Kubo, who, along with friends Monkey and Beetle, must find his father’s suit of armor to defeat an evil spirit. Full of rich mythology and Japanese-inspired visuals, every shot is striking and a work of art in its own right. It pushes the medium in new directions, and its plot also highlights the importance of stories and their legacy.
‘Anomalisa’
From surrealist director Charlie Kaufman, Anomalisa is an introspective and profound stop-motion animation for grown-ups. Michael, a man tired of his mundane life, meets a lively woman who changes his perspective. The film examines the monotony of existence and how a deep connection with another person can change our lives. While Anomalisa is animated, this is certainly not for kids, as it features sex, profanity, and other adult themes.
‘Mary and Max’
Mary a Max is a somber yet hopeful tale about the weight of loneliness and the power of friendship and human connection. The film follows Mary, a friendless eight-year-old girl living in Melbourne, and Max, a forty-year-old man from New York who is deeply depressed. Through luck and a phone book, the two become pen-pals and help each other through their pain on opposite sides of the world. Toni Collette and Philip Seymour Hoffman provide the titular voices.
‘Wendell & Wild’
Thirteen years after the release of Coraline, Henry Selick returned to the world of stop-motion animation with Netflix’s Wendell & Wild . Comedy duo Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key voice the two titular demons, who enlist the help of a teenage girl named Kat to summon them to the Land of the Living. Featuring the exquisite spooky vibes Selick is known for, the film is a visually quirky treat, as well as an effective exploration of grief and other realistic struggles.
‘Missing Link’
Laika, Annapurna Pictures
Laika ditches ghost stories and demons with Chybí odkaz , a good old-fashioned adventure flick. Zach Galifianakis voices the mythical creature, who recruits explorer Sir Lionel Frost to help him travel across America to find his relatives. Featuring the painstakingly crafted stop-motion animation Laika is known for, the film is full of heart and humor and has many positive real-world lessons to teach its audience. It also won a Golden Globe for Best Animated Film.
‘My Life as a Zucchini’
Spoluautor Portrét dámy v plamenech director Céline Sciamma, Můj život jako cuketa is a French-Swiss film about finding hope after tragedy. The story follows a young boy sent to an orphanage after the death of his mother, where he forms friendships that help him love and trust again. At just a little over an hour in runtime, the film’s simplicity is its greatest strength, telling a familiar story with originality and empathy. It is bittersweet and incredibly moving.

Top 10 Best Stop Motion Movies Ever Made
A list of the best stop motion movies ever made! From Ukradené Vánoce na ovečka Shaun, zde jsou naše oblíbené.
Top 10 Best Stop Motion Movies Ever
With rapidly evolving technology, continually shifting audience demographics, and the seemingly unstoppable rise of CGI all making it increasingly difficult for traditional forms of animation to cut through, it’s genuinely heartening that something as decidedly old-fashioned as stop motion has not only survived in the current climate, but positively thrived.
While it may appear simplistic on the surface, especially when compared to the shiny, cutting-edge stylings of the Pixars and the Disneys of this world, beneath this unrefined façade, stop motion is among the most complex forms of animation going.
Painfully intricate and unbelievably time consuming, stop motion truly is a labor of love for anyone brave enough to attempt it, requiring a dedication and a heightened level of artistry that goes well beyond other animated forms.
As such, there really is no bad time to throw a little love stop motion’s way, and with the Netflix release of Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio almost upon us, the chance to celebrate this inimitable brand of animation, and to champion its finest examples, couldn’t possibly be passed up.
So, here we go then folks. This is your top 10 best stop motion movies ever…
10. Film Ovečka Shaun (2015)
An unabashed ode to silent cinema, by its very nature, Film Ovečka Shaun puts the focus squarely on its visuals, doing so in such a unique and gloriously joyous way, you have no choice but to tip your hat to the unwavering handle Aardman Animations have on their craft.
Without a word spoken, Aardman harness the spirit of Chaplin and Keaton in a Wallace & Gromit spin-off that blends wonderfully inventive gags and visual storytelling with a charming, breezy plot that will delight young and old alike.
9. Kubo and the Two Strings (2016)
Není žádným tajemstvím, že Kubo a dva řetězce was a huge financial disappointment for its studio, Laika, however, despite bombing at the box office, the film gained overwhelmingly positive reviews, going on to be only the second ever stop-motion feature to receive an Oscar nomination for Visual Effects.
And with good reason too, because the film was, and remains, absolutely stunning. After numerous highly praised efforts, Laika pulled out all the stops with Kubo, crafting an awe-inspiring, breath-taking tale that’s among the most visually impressive animations ever, stop motion or otherwise.

8. Mad God (2022)
Less a conventional movie and more an unrelenting, nightmarish stream of consciousness, Šílený Bože is unlike any stop-motion there’s ever been (or likely ever will be).
The ultimate passion project, Šílený Bože had been in the works for the best part of 30 years, as visual effects legend Phil Tippet pours his (dark) heart and soul into a beautifully disturbing fever dream of hellish imagery that’s both a vivid visual treat and one of the bleakest dystopian visions you’ll ever come across. Suffice to say, this one’s not for the kids.
7. Chicken Run (2000)
While Aardman had already made quite the name for itself with several critically acclaimed shorts, the British animation studio really cemented itself as the preeminent purveyor of stop-motion with Kuřecí běh.
Filled deep with humor, technically spectacular action, and surprisingly profound themes, Kuřecí běh is an absolute winner, which, even 23 years after its release, remains one of the most beloved – and profitable – stop motion films of all time.
Best Stop Motion Movies continued…
6. Mary a Max (2009)
As another fine example of the unique emotional potential of stop-motion, Mary a Max is both harrowing and beautiful in equal measure.
Backed by a wonderful voice cast that includes the incomparable tones of the late, great Philip Seymour Hoffman, Mary a Max tells the deeply affecting story of a shy Australian girl building a pen-pal relationship with an autistic American man, following the ups and downs of their affecting long-distance friendship.
Balancing quirky humor and a serious emotional gut punch, the film covers a whole host of issues from depression and anxiety to trauma and friendship, proving that stop motion’s ability to connect with its audience on an almost profound level truly is unrivalled.
5. Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005)
Not just the first (and, to date, only) big screen outing for Aardman Animations’ iconic duo, but the very first stop-motion to win the Academy Award for Best Animated Film, Prokletí králíka králíka is quite the trailblazer.
As ever with Aardman, the film is both gorgeously crafted and sublimely silly, perfectly capturing the essence of what made Wallace and Gromit such a beloved small screen pairing, while taking their lovable stop-motion shenanigans to a whole new level.
Best Stop Motion Movies continued…
4. My Life as a Courgette/Zucchini (2016)
While it may look innocent enough, don’t let this fool you. Můj život jako cuketou (or Zucchini for my American friends) is far more mature than your average animation.
The charming, candid style, melancholy score, and dark-yet-innocent tone all combine for an amiable, refreshingly honest take on childhood trauma, joy, fear, and loneliness.
In utilizing a stop-motion technique that fits its story perfectly, director Claude Barras and co-writer Céline Sciamma craft a somber, heart-warming beauty, and while it may sometimes feel slight in stature, like it’s protagonist, Můj život jako cuketou is huge in heart.
3. Koralína (2009)
As the unsung hero of the medium, stop-motion owes much of its success to Henry Selick. After his ground-breaking achievements on Ukradené Vánoce a James a obří broskev, it was his partnership with the newly-formed Laika on Coraline that his legendary stop-motion status would be solidified.
Undeniably dark, but with plenty of heart and a distinctive, playful spirit, Coraline’s off-kilter approach will be pure nightmare fuel for young’uns, however, for those that like their stop-motion creepy and with an ingeniously eccentric edge, this is the one for you.
Best Stop Motion Movies continued…
2. Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio (2022)
In true Guillermo del Toro style, the director makes his animation debut with a dark, immaculately crafted, frequently disturbing retelling of the classic fairy-tale that’s among his finest work to date.
Magical yet mortifying, Disney this Pinocchio is not, as del Toro transports the story to 1930s Fascist Italy for a heart-warming, heart-breaking rumination on love, life, and loss that’s sure to be one of this year’s Academy Awards front runners.
1. The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
A true stop-motion icon, Ukradené Vánoce has spent the best part of 30 years amassing quite the cult following.
A perennial favorite of goths and emos worldwide, the Henry Selick-directed, Tim Burton-produced film is a true one-of-a-kind stop-motion experience that combines visually-dazzling animation and infinitely catchy songs to pitch perfect perfection.
Is it a Christmas film? Is it a Halloween one? Who really cares? Put simply, Ukradené Vánoce is the best stop motion movie ever.

My opinions are always honest and always my own, so while there are a million and one sites out there all shouting loudly for your clicks, I hope I can offer something unique, genuine, and heart-felt via Mama’s Geeky.
