stop-motion stops my heart

Any stop-motion animation gets my heart fluttering and alights my urge to make Sculpey figurines all over again like I once did in my mother's craft-packed basement.

From the 1964 claymation Rudolph to Nick Park's Wallace & Gromit to Henry Selik's Nightmare Before Christmas...lest not forget his take on Neil Gaiman's Coraline! If it is possible to fall in love with the production of a film, I am guilty of such a feat.

I am struggling to contain my enthusiasm for Mr Fox and his Fantastical George-Clooney voice and fellow Anderson cast members to hit Canadian cinemas. Where will I be when it hits November 25? On the train to Winnipeg! I may have to drag my chum, Wisam, out for a matinee.
