Stop Motion Feature Deathmatch

Noticed that quite a few of these titles would run away with a Deathmatch Poll, so I lumped them in together.

Were-Rabbit, but with FMF and Roman tied for a very close second.

I've only seen two (Mary & Max and Chicken Run) so i don't think it's fair to vote but if i did i would go with Mary & Max. That movie should be talked about in general more. It' such a hidden gem.

Great
Mary and Max                                I have this as my second favourite animated film
The Nightmare Before Christmas    I need to rewatch this, and it might pass Mary and Max on a rewatch
The Curse of the Were-Rabbit        A Grand Day out is still my favourite Wallace and Gromit, but this one is second

Good
Coraline
Chicken Run
Corpse Bride

Seriously overrated, did not think much of it

This is interesting. I always feel I'm missing something with Grand Day Out. It's charming, but I prefer the heartier laughs of the adventures that followed. (Maybe it's the yankee difference.) If The Wrong Trousers were an option that would likely be my vote.

A probable big part of A Grand Day out being my favourite is it was the first of the Wallace and Gromit films/shorts that I saw.

The Nightmare Before Christmas because of it's imagination, songs and nostalgia connection to the stop-action holiday specials of my youth.

However, if the Wallace and Gromit shorts were collected into a feature, that would win hands-down. Were-Rabbit never did that much for me.

Seen Chicken Run, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Curse of the Were-Rabbit. FNF is the only one I saw after my "critical enlightenment", the other two I saw when I was really young. CR scared the crap out of me...

I adore Fantastic Mr. Fox. Apart from that Jarvis Cocker song. This wins just for that wolf scene.

I fell asleep during ParaNorman.
