Stop Motion

LAIKA stuff is too clean, they're relying on way too many digital effects these days! I want to be able to tell it's stopmotion. I don't think they've had a good movie since Kubo. And I LOVE stopmotion, I have been to multiple LAIKA exhibits in person. And don't get me Started on Tim Burton being attributed to everything Henry Selik does.

Wes Anderson

The most "mainstream" on the list here besides LAIKA. Wes Anderson's dedication to the teactile feel of his stopmo works, as well as doing all effects in-camera with poly stuffing for smoke and real goo for water. I think it's a level of detail you wouldn't be able to do these days without that blank check in his name, but I'm really glad someone is.

Henry Selik

If you've seen Nightmare Before Christmas you already love this guy. He's the reason Coraline was so good to! Also known for James in the Giant Peach. Hie most recent movie, Wendell and Wild, feels like everything you loved about Coraline. This is the guy to follow if you know LAIKA from Coraline and you want more of that goth fantasy. Wendell and Wild does NOT get enough love.

Ray Harryhausen

Old school. This is the guy who made that Jason and the Argonauts clip that gets passed around every once in a while.
