Most pieces are more experimental and abstract, there are some music videos in the middle too.

Let me know your thoughts and suggestions for this stack :)

I'm trying to keep the characters as young as possible because these works tend to present more imaginative, even incoherent, segments, often due to a limited perspective or understanding of the world inhabited by the characters. Typically, this entails engagement with the unknown or unfamiliar or scenarios that are not fully grasped, and tapping into that feeling is easiest with children. This can include ordinary life expressed in an abstract way in Googuri Googuri, the augmented reality of Dennou Coil, or the dream world of Little Nemo. Initially, the list was meant to catalog independent short films with imaginative transitions, as I feel these capture the tone of what I'm going for best, but there aren't enough good ones that meet my criteria.

As a huge fan of both 'Caroline', (and LAIKA, all in all) I decided to make a stack with all of the anime movies that remind me of it visually or just by vibes. As a huge fan of this specific art style and horror that is leaning on avant-garde I hope you will enjoy this journey, as much as I did.
Also, most of them are short, so it's an easy ride!

These stacks are meant for cataloguing every stop-motion animation on Myanimelist. The list is the result of research by the Stop-Motion Animation Appreciation Society:

https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=16200

Stop-motion is a form of animation in which objects are manipulated little by little while each frame is shot separately. Puppet animation is the most common, but before 1935 cutout animation was also very common. Among other types are claymation, pixilation (now removed from the database), object and model animation. In this list also works using sand, charcoal or paint are included, since in the form they've been accepted to MAL, they also include gradual manipulation and shot by shot filming.

Creepy clay and petrifying puppets.

DigiCon6 ASIA Awards is a competition for short films of Asian origin, established in the year 2000 by TBS.

Most of the winning entries from recent years can be viewed for free on the official website and youtube channel:

https://www.tbs.co.jp/digicon

There is an English version of the website as well, but it doesn't list all the Japanese regional winners. Instead, unlike the Japanese version, it does have winners from other regions:

This list is by no means comprehensive, as many of the winners don't have a MAL entry yet, presumably because the creators might not be established in the industry.
