The stop-motion animation, My Life as a Zucchini may have an innocent-sounding title, but it's certainly not for young children. An animated film that blends comedy and drama, My Life as a Zucchini explores the dark emotional depths of childhood trauma.

The gritty and heavy nature of My Life as a Zucchini shouldn't come as a shock as the film was co-written by French director Céline Sciamma. Over the past twenty years, Sciamma has directed some of Europe's most famous films, including Water Lilies, Tomboy, Girlhood, Petite Maman, and the masterpiece Portrait of a Lady on Fire.

Arguably the most popular stop-motion animated film of all time, The Nightmare Before Christmas, has amassed a huge following over the past thirty years. However, many people mistook Tim Burton as its director, even though the film's actual director was Henry Selick.

The Nightmare Before Christmas became the first animated film ever to be nominated for Best Visual Effects at the Academy Awards. Along with technical prowess, The Nightmare Before Christmas features an iconic soundtrack that includes the now-Halloween staple "This Is Halloween".

Despite poor box office performance, such as stop-motion animation, Kubo and The Two Strings (Kubo and the Samurai Mission) received critical acclaim. It became the second stop-motion film ever to receive an Academy Award nomination for Best Visual Effects.

At the time of the release of Kubo and The Two Strings, its 101-minute run made it the longest stop-motion film ever produced. The film contains some of the visually stunning stop-motion animations that have ever been included in a feature film. That includes a boat scene that took the animators nineteen months to create.

Chicken Run is the first stop-motion animated film released by legendary stop-motion studio Aardman Animations. Prior to the release of Chicken Run, Aardman Animations was well known for its short films. Its three short films, Creature Comforts, The Wrong Trousers and A Close Shave took home Oscars.

More than twenty years after this stop-motion animated film debuted, Chicken Run remains the highest-grossing stop-motion film of all time. The film has been praised for its humour, humour, technically excellent action sequences, and profound sociopolitical themes. Many critics have noted Chicken Run's overt feminist theme and how it depicts class rebellion and war.
