Return of Alice Gets an Awesome Teaser

What's up with the return to claymation in the independent animation world? I mean there's this, Fantastic Mr. Fox, and that Mary and Max Movie? I always found claymation an extremely hit or miss sort of art form. Burton was always spot on but movies like chicken run just fell flat for me.

hm, story could be interesting but if they're using claymation in cutscenes, it'll look weird I think for kstormy's question (forgive the tangent), claymation is a cross between live action and animation, and it is useful in a story that blurs reality and fantasy because you have a medium that easily mimics physical objects that are found in reality (and it's a medium more grounded in reality for an audience, as opposed to animation) but is malleable enough to warp this reality. So it works really well in films like Coraline and TNBC, which both have an atmosphere of 'supernatural fantasy' that couldn't be as easily achieved by animation or live-action (imho)

I have to say I rather liked the cheshire cat. The animation did detract from it a bit though. Particularly in alice's character. Just an opinion I suppose, I'm optimistic.
