I saw 'Coraline' a few weeks ago (I was just waiting for someone to post in this thread so that I wouldn't have to double post). I loved every second of it. It was much better than I expected. Far superior to "The Nightmare Before Christmas".
Coraline, uniquely for a stop-motion feature, uses heads that have been produced by 3D printers from computer models to render the tiniest alterations in facial expressions, making the characters seem much more real. Two different heads can appear indistinguishable, but when used in the animation the produce a wonderful affect.

Makes me wonder what the point of using stop-motion is if you're going to do that, though. The price of stop-motion, CGI and three-dimensional printing.
