Appreciating Stop-Motion Films

What's is great about some children's media and stop-motion media is that they have great messages and lessons to children and adults. Doing stop-motion for children, shows the innocence and purity in the film. It also appreciate the artwork of the film and how dedicated was the artist who made it into a film. I found Tchou-Tchou a very cute and creative way to tell a story through blocks. I love how the turn their heads side by side, how the dragon can look scary but adorable at the same time, and the the scenery is made by blocks. This films gave me all these different kind of emotions such as fear, happiness, and sadness. The three stop-motion that I watched in class shows me that we as humans are made in the image of God. We are made to create. We are made to amazed an audience just how we get amazed of God's creation. What's also great about these three films was that they are all have message about creation. In the block children film, the artist doesn't want the audience to just watch the film but to participate in the film.
In The Sand Castle it showed all the creative energy and movement to the film. It did had a lot of Christian allegory. For instance, the Sandman is a God-like figure, by showing that he created all these different kind of animals to create a sand castle.
