I'm an unabashed fan of stop-motion animation. It is, in some ways, the purest form of movie-making since it requires the arduous frame-by-frame photography of still figures blended into the illusion of movement. Compared to that, sitting at a computer screen drawing with a laser stylus seems positively wimpy. It's also the reason why there simply aren't a lot of stop-motion feature films; they're so darned hard to make.
