We sure love Wallace, Gromit, Shaun and little Timmy! Anyone who sees his work cannot deny his talent. in 1985, he has been nominated to the Academy Awards six times and won four with Creature Comforts (1989), The Wrong Trousers (1993), A Close Shave (1995), and Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005).

He was also heavily involved in the production of Coraline (2009) as director, producer, writer and soundtrack.īritish children of the 90s and beyond are familiar with Wallace and Gromit and may be familiar with Nick Park, whose work includes Shaun the Sheep(TV Series and Movie), Timmy Time (TV Series) and Chicken Run(2000). He then moved on to James and the Giant Peach(1996), which a Time reviewer claimed was better than the book. It wasn’t until Burton brought him on to The Nightmare Before Christmas that he really began to work with stop motion. Selick, like Burton, also started out as an animator at Disney, where he did a lot of 2D animation. His work is beautiful and lands him a spot on this list. His work as stop motion animator includes movies such as the recently released The Little Prince(2015), The Boxtrolls(2014), Paranorman (2012) or Coraline(2009). His style is similar, in many ways, to the thin –boned characters that Burton creates, but they’re also a little more realistically proportioned and a fair bit less creepy. The name of Payton Curtis is a name you might not have heard, unless you’re a fan of the 2009 stop-motion version of Fantastic Mr. He also worked on well known stop motion movies such as Corpse Bride (2006) and Frankenweenie (2012) along with plenty of films that aren’t stop motion. He moved on to producing his own films, including the masterpiece that is The Nightmare Before Christmas. He started off his career working for Walt Disney, but it quickly became clear to Burton that he was probably a bit too weird to keep working for the butterflies and rainbows animation studio. Is it really any wonder that Tim Burton is on this list? He is the king of recent stop motion animation.
His innovative style of special effects in films inspired numerous filmmakers including John Lasseter, Peter Jackson, John Landis and Tim Burton. Ray passed away in 2013 and left his collection, which includes all of his film related artefacts to the Ray & Diana Harryhausen Foundation , which he set up in 1986 to look after his extensive collection, to protect his name and to further the art of model stop-motion animation. Some of his most popular work include Mighty Joe Young (1949) his first colour film and Jason and the Argonauts (1963), featuring a famous sword fight against seven skeleton warriors. He was usually identified as a special-effects designer and, more specifically, a master of stop-motion animation. Harryhausen acquired a worldwide fandom as the creator and designer of some of the most beloved fantasy films of all time. Raymond Frederick “Ray” Harryhausen. For many, a true inspiration of stop motion animation. One way or another you have seen their work and I’m sure that you’ll be able to recognise their unique style anytime.
