Yeah, it's stop motion. All I'm saying is it looked dodgy. I love stop motion. I'm saying it looked dodgy from what I saw in the trailer. I've read books on stop motion. It just looked a bit dodgy. I've even done a bit of (dodgy) stop motion. This just looked dodgy.
Actually, I'm with you. There is a lot of fantastic stop motion in the world; Coraline, Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, not to mention more non-feature length stuff than you can poke a stick at.

The animation as represented in the trailer is not in that class. The camera is static, the characters are stiff and wooden and the animation is jerky. It's possible that it looks better in the final movie, but nothing about the trailer particularly makes me want to see it.
