You have to see Michel Gondry's The Science of Sleep! The stop-motion animation is extraordinary. Most of the objects that he animates are completely hand-made in a rough, imperfect way that gives them so much character. Clouds of cotton float, cotton skiiers glide down mountains made out of felt, Paris is imagined as a maze of toilet-paper rolls. As with Gondry's previous film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, he doesn't use any special effects...every effect is created "in camera" (by the way he shoots).
