If you surf around the internet enough, you can find many sites that talk about stop motion. On some of those sites there are people who are extremely good stop motion animators and over time have theorized about what makes a stop motion film good. Some are saying that Neil Gaimans Coraline which is due out in February looks too sanitized, and that the cleanliness of the puppets removes the life from them. Now these aren't my words, but I do agree to a point about this kind of argument. Normally films done in stop motion show the human touch, and sand paper and un-natural lighting techniques remove that. The quest for perfection isn't bad, but take a look at some older Claymation films or some Starewich films and there is a lot more energy and charm in the "look" of the characters.
