Mar 13, 2011 - @TheOrientalNightFish Nah i disagree. Tim Burton is the godfather, not because he's made more or less, but because he designed nightmare before christmas which was a major success and cast a spotlight on all this awesomeness

Mar 16, 2011 - @300warrior300 -- Well, I don't think The Quay Brothers etc need any spotlight from Tim Burton - there are enough fans of their stuff/similar stuff who recognize its greatness. Basically Its not down to Tim Burton that they are known and admired. Its not that I totally dislike Tim Burton, but he can't really be compared to the Quay Brothers - their work is far more imaginative, dark and interesting. But thats just my opinion - & I do quite like Nightmare + Vincent.

Jul 1, 2011 - The Brothers Quay are beyond amazing, the level of creativity and depth to the level of confusion that causes you to delve past the animation into their minds far surpasses the whimsy and sometimes genius of Burton animation. They animate for the craft, not for the masses.

Jul 23, 2011 - @TheOrientalNightFish While this is good, give us a movie from these guys and I will convert. Face it, Tim Burton is just more popular, that's the only reason why he has that title.

Sep 10, 2011 - @t00117598 Nirvana wanted to have the Lithium video in contrast to this and because I like Tool and Nirvana I thought I would check this out, should someone get you a cookie or something?

Sep 22, 2011 - @TheOrientalNightFish I would say Władysław Starewicz is the ultimate master of stop-motion; look him up...he was animating dead insects in the 1910's...his work is amazing...check him out....The Cameraman's Revenge, or especially the Tale of the Fox are outstanding. He was a pioneer.

Sep 26, 2011 - Look. Tim Burton is no better then Quay, nor is Quay better then Tim Burton.While some say they prefer Tim, and others say they prefer Quay, when you get right down to it, it does not matter. What do Quay and Tim do? Create animation. Tim favors more whimsically childlike stuff, with a somewhat darkish, and often humorous take on things.The Quay brothers just have a much more dark, surreal twist on everything. However, what do Tim and the Quay brothers both have in common? They create art.
