Back on topic then. While many directors/producers/animators choose to create their animated films using digital animation and programs and such, there are still directors/producers/ animators out there who still like creating movies with stop-motion. One of which (one of my personal favorites) is Tim Burton (pictured below holding a skeleton). He is responsible for many famous and popular films like "The Nightmare Before Christmas," which is watched often, as it is nearing Christmas. He feels that, "There is an energy with stop-motion animation that you can't describe. It's got to do with giving things life, and I guess that's why I wanted to get into animation originally. To give life to something that doesn't have it is cool, and even more so in three dimensions, because, at least for me, if feels more real. With the large Marge thing or dinosaur–any time we could throw in some stop-motion, the better."
-One of my heroes, Tim Burton, who directed Alice in Wonderland (featuring Johnny Depp), is married to Helena Bonham Carter (who plays Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter series). I am a fan of many of his movies, including the classic, Nightmare Before Christmas, that is shown below. The Nightmare Before Christmas is also a stop motion animation film (no, Jack the skeleton king doesn't really exist...).
