Stop-motion animation is a unique animation technique. Unlike traditional 2D and 3D animation, it relies on the physical creation and animation of real-life physical object. These objects, carefully hand crafted out of various materials, are manipulated in front of the camera, frame after frame, to give an illusion of movement. Depending on the type of material used, animators can alter the characters within frames and take photographs which will create a sequence of movement. Among different types of stop-motion, animation of puppets is the most famous one. Their built-in armatures allow the animations an easier articulation of movement. The making of puppets, the set, and other physical objects to film, is a highly timeconsuming process that demands a lot of patience. That is one of the reasons why stop-motion is considered unique and appreciated by the audience. Although the development of CGI overshadowed the more traditional stop-motion animation techniques, it still continues to grow and persist in the modern era. This thesis will focus on the shared characteristics between four stop-motion animation features: The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), Coraline (2009), Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009), and Isle of Dogs (2018). They are known for their unique visual style, attention to detail, and the compelling process required to make them.
