Even a pandemic cannot stop the famed Mechanized Organism Designed Only for Killing from making his eventual Hulu debut. While promoting the upcoming third season of the Peacock series A.P. Bio, the incredibly talented and incredibly busy Patton Oswalt confirmed to Collider that the animated take on M.O.D.O.K. he and showrunner Jordan Blum are working on is on track to debut early next year. It's a wait, but Oswalt makes it sound like it'll be worth it. "The episodes have been written. They've been recorded. Now they're being animated. And because …
With Charlie Kaufman’s new movie I’m Thinking of Ending Things now streaming on Netflix, I recently spoke to the gifted filmmaker about a myriad of subjects. During the wide-ranging conversation, Kaufman talked about making the movie at Netflix, how his work leaves a lot open for the viewer to decide, what it was like in the editing room, why he doesn’t get nervous watching early cuts of the film, who he trusts for honest feedback, the challenges of filming the long driving scenes, and so much more. In addition, he talked about what happened to his …
If you're craving a new wild and weird animated show to watch on Hulu while you wait for the next season of Rick and Morty, set your sights on the new trailer for Crossing Swords. The extremely not-for-kids stop-motion series comes from Robot Chicken and SuperMansion producers John Harvatine IV and Tom Root and features a bananas ensemble of voice talent lead by Nicholas Hoult. The first trailer introduced the NSFW, profanity-laden twist on the classic Hero's Journey, starring Hoult as a peasant named Patrick with lifelong ambitions of becoming a knight, who quickly …
Send help because I cannot stop watching Laika Studios' TikTok fight challenge video which features tons of incredible stop-motion animation.

Laika debuted their incredible TikTok challenge video on Twitter on Friday, captioning the video with, "No one ever said animating was safe." The video begins with one of the studio's most iconic characters, Coraline, getting the special honor of being the …
How do you review a nightmare? That's basically the question in front of me as I try to sum up the first three episodes of Season 2 of The Shivering Truth. Adult Swim's sophomore season of the stop-motion animated series returns tonight at midnight (just after Rick and Morty's new episode) to show off creator Vernon Chatman's latest batch of unfiltered, stream-of-semi-consciousness thought brought to life through meticulous craft and a creative team possessed of surprisingly strong stomachs. It's part nightmare, part philosophical pondering, and all mind-melting enigmatic entertainment. You …
If you're a fan of stop-motion animated comedy series like Robot Chicken and SuperMansion, then Hulu's Crossing Swords should be on your radar. It's been on our most-anticipated list for some time. While it feels like forever ago, we first heard of the new series back in the fall of 2018, and the project has stayed on track for a Hulu debut in 2020. We even got regular updates to that effect from co-star and Stoopid Buddy Stoodios co-founder Seth Green in a chat about related projects just last fall. Now, the first …
Earlier this year, we brought you the first look at the official trailer for Season 3 of Hasbro and Cartoon Network’s hit series, Transformers: Cyberverse. Now, we have an extra bonus treat for you, a stop-motion rework of that trailer using the awesome toys from the show itself!

Missing Link, the incredible achievement in stop-motion animation from award-winning studio LAIKA, is poised to bring home even more awards thanks to its Golden Globe and Annie Awards (and hopefully Oscars) nominations. And those awards are very much deserved. It's hard to overstate just how much hard work, talent, and creativity goes into each and every frame of a LAIKA film. But luckily we have an exclusive video that offers a glimpse of just that, a peek behind the curtain to show off the effort that goes into the sets, characters, costumes, and animation of the studio'…

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Disney+ original series The Mandalorian rules so incredibly hard. The first three episodes of Season 1 have taken pop culture by storm, renewing our interest in the world of Star Wars, making us clamor for more Baby Yoda by the minute, and introducing us to new parts of the galaxy.

The latest stop-motion marvel from the studio that brought you Coraline, ParaNorman, The Boxtrolls, and Kubo and the Two Strings delivers a classic globetrotting adventure tale that features Victorian-era sensibilities clashing against New World discoveries, all wrapped up in a story about discovering yourself and finding a place where you truly belong.

In Sony Crackle's new stop-motion animated special, SuperMansion: World War Tree, our favorite disgruntled superheroes must save the world from both ill-advised, tree-hugging scientists and the sentient warmongering sequoias they unleash. This ain't your average Earth Day story. But then again, the SuperMansion and Stoopid Buddy Stoodios team ain't your average storytellers. Always willing to push the envelope, from both a practical animation standpoint and a storytelling one, they're not exactly concerned with being politically correct. In fact, they often go to extreme ends of the spectrum for big laughs; SuperMansion: World War …
Imagine all the intricacies that go into staging an action sequence: the stunts, choreography, rehearsing, and timing. Now imagine that same process – but in stop-motion animation. A simple ten second shot of, say, Tom Cruise running down a freeway takes hours to set up and shoot traditionally, but in stop-motion: that same shot takes days, if not weeks, to film. This brings us to Missing Link, the latest stop-motion feature from Laika Studios, a globe-trotting action adventure in the vein of Indiana Jones. In the film— self-centered explorer, Lionel Frost (Hugh Jackman), journeys forth to …
