Stop Motion Animation is a technique used in animation to bring static objects to life on screen. This is done by moving the object in increments while filming a frame per increment. When all the frames are played in sequence it shows movement.
Stop motion dates back to King Kong in 1933. Cooper and Schoedsack together brought Hollywood to its feet with the groundbreaking original movie, made famous for the film's use of modeling and the stop-motion technique. Stop-motion photography is the process of posing inanimate objects in certain positions, snapping a photo, and then moving the models ever so slightly, and snapping another photo. This process is quite tedious. The individual photos are then pieced together and run through a projector to make it appear that the models are moving.

This is an old technique in terms of special effects in modern media and is not commonly used in modern films. There are more expensive alternates but they can now afford these things because the budgets are so big. Stop-motion is very time consuming and is hard to make it look realistic.
An urbane fox cannot resist returning to his farm raiding ways and then must help his community survive the farmers' retaliation.
Stop motion animation has been around a long time, but it goes in and out of fashion. The latest movie to use the technique -- where a frame of film is shot individually for each motion of a puppet or model -- is "Fantastic Mr. Fox," in theaters on Thanksgiving day.
"Fantastic Mr. Fox" is one example of stop motion today: Big budget, with George Clooney and other stars doing voices, and Wes Anderson directing.
