Pixilation Animation

The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb is about a baby is taken by a genetic lab and must find his way back to his father. This animation is created using stop motion methods.

It used Pixilation which consists of using live humans as the stop motion characters. Using live humans instead of clay figures is just another way of exploring stop motion. This short animation I found very dark and gloomy. I would say that the audience was not aimed at children due to the scenes shown.
