Animal Instinct
The Cliché: Animals are usually involved in some capacity, whether it’s voiceless side-kicks with achingly articulate eyeballs, or interview chat-tracks acted out by claymation mammals.
Seen In... Creature Comforts
Paul King: “I’m writing a script for Paddington Bear, I’ve got a huge love of Paddington. I love animation anyway, but I really love the bear and the character, and miraculously I seem to have convinced some people to let me write a script. So I’m trying that.
All my hero directors are doing children’s films at the moment so I was very pleased to have gotten it. I can do my Where The Wild Things Are/Fantastic Mr Fox.”
Bunny and the Bull is released 27 November.

I don't want to seem to be a nit-picker, but several of the examples of stop-motion given in this article are not stop-motion at all. For example, virtually all the FX in "Mary Poppins" were either practicals, traditional animation, or animatronics. The marshmallow man in "Ghostbusters" was a guy in a suit. Or am I missing something?
