"The Gate" and "The Gate II" have stop motions creatures (demons) that interact with the live actors/characters. "I, Madman" has a stop motion section also. Should these be added to the list? Antmusic 22:58, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
What about Army of Darkness? That seems like it belongs in the "Stop-motion/live action features" (main) section.

"Star Wars: A New Hope" includes stop-motion animation, and I don't see it on the lists. The part on the Millennium Falcon when they are playing a board game using little monsters as game pieces. 153.2.246.30 ( talk) 07:38, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
I realized that many important earlier films would not have had the chance to win an award; while winning an award is a good criterion nowadays for singling out the more important films, it's not very usefull for the days before there were any awards. So I changed the requirements to attempt to make things more fair to important films which were created earlier and would not have had the chance to win an award.
I'm certainly open to discussion about this, since I'm not quite sure what to do myself. I do think it would be a good idea for the earlier films to be represented somehow. Esn 06:41, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
I've removed a couple of entries from the Shorts list, since they appeared to be homemade videos with no notability. We definitely need some concrete way of determining what belongs on this list. Anterras ( talk) 00:42, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
I have actually seen the movie, even if it feels like hundred years ago when I was a kid. It is a live action movie (four boys who travels back in time on the river of time itself) where stop motion animated animals shows up now and then. Just wanted to mention it. 193.217.195.132 06:18, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Since George Pal's The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm uses stop-motion in depicting the title characters' fantasy stories, I suspect it should be in "Borderline" rather than "Main." And I am quite surprised by the absence of Pal's tom thumb Shouldn't it be in "Borderline", as well? I am mainly asking about categorization here, as I noticed the "incomplete" notice at the top of the article. Note that I added 1981's Caveman without asking here first.

I am curios why Lotte Reiniger's work doesn't appear on the list, surely The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1926) at 67 minutes counts as a Stop motion feature? EraserGirl ( talk) 03:09, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Just added the inappropriate tone tag to the article due to the 'instructional' material at the beginning of the article and some of the sections. Ideally, an article should read more like an encyclopedia, not as an obviously editable website. UpdateNerd ( talk) 20:53, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
Can how each film performed at the box-office be added to the list? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.210.112.154 ( talk) 20:58, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thieves_of_Baghdad is not the article for the stop motion film, if there even is one. The linked article is about a non-related book. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.230.124.140 ( talk) 11:41, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
Can we drop the Length column from the live action list? It'd be relevant to include the length of each stop motion sequence, but that might not be possible. Anterras ( talk) 08:34, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

I've read, in a place or two, that NBC was the first fully full-length stop-motion movie/film ever made.
I've done limited online research, but have been unable to confirm the claim.
Can anyone help?
And, if confirmed, shouldn't that fact be mentioned/included here &/or on The Nightmare Before Christmas page?
Just curious. 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D ( talk) 02:58, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
I feel like the Released and Notable list shouldn't be exclusive, as the first one should comprise of all known stop motion movies/shorts etc.
Besides notability being arbitary, those lists should be merged (with award column added) and
if the table is too big, additionally separate them into Movies, Series, Shorts.
It is possible to highlight table rows for more famous ones, but i don't see the reason for having 2 tables, even less so if we dublicate from the famous ones into the master one. 84.236.12.134 ( talk) 17:58, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
