Beautiful Stop Motion Masterpiece
Based on Neil Gaiman's book by the same name, this stop motion film is a beautiful representation, the stop motion is masterfully executed, the voices suite each character perfectly, the soundtrack is an immense accompaniment to every part of this film.

Impressive animation
The stop motion animation in this is very impressive, to the point where at times I almost forgot that it was stop motion as opposed to normal animation. The story itself is intriguing and rather sad at times, although I felt that it was a little lacking at times. A little too much talking maybe? I'm also not sure about some of the voices - Matthew McConaughey has a voice that's almost too distinctive to work well as an animated character.
Still it's a very enjoyable film and much better than the majority of animations that are released of late.

Brilliantly done
I'll be honest, except for Grand Budapest I'm not a massive fan of Wes Anderson. So I wasn't particularly bothered about this, and even more so after seeing the trailer when it was first released at the cinema - it just looked a little too weird. However I'm pleased to say that this was a surprisingly good film.
The best thing about this film is the execution. The stop motion is absolutely superb and truly flawless, it's beautiful to see stop motion made like this. And the voice cast too are brilliant. Unlike a lot of animated films, the entire cast fits perfectly and there aren't any voices that don't fit. The plot itself is interesting, dark and definitely not a kids film. It's also surprisingly funny in parts. Some of this gets a little "talky" at times and despite the short run time, the film feels a lot longer than it actually is. But it's still worth a watch for the stop motion alone.

I love stop motion animation so that was a plus in my books. Before i go any further people think animation and kids movies. I want to say NO. This is NOT FOR KIDS.
The idea was great but i feel it could have been better. Smooth animation. Had lot of stars doing the voice work. It is a film seeing it once will be enough.

Seriously. Some movies just are so timeless and amazing that a typical rating system doesn't do them justice.
Danny Elfman's singing and composition is amazing. This clearly feels "Tim Burton-y" and yet he didnt actually make it... He produced it of course. But this was a hit no one has been able to repeat.
