They arent puppets. If they were puppets, there wouldnt be any point to it being stop motion.

Puppets have been used in stop-motion for over a century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_motion More to the point, the creators call their characters "puppets." https://molcar-anime.com |

I really understand where you're coming from. I think the term puppets is a bit odd to use here, but I guess that doesn't go for everybody. |

1. References to wikipedia articles are worthless when trying to reinforce your points against other people. 2. I found nothing in that link to the creators that suggests they refer to them as puppets. 3. Even if they did refer to them as puppets, I dont suspect english is their first language so mislabeling something isnt out of the realm of possibility. 4. Just because a creator says something doesnt automatically make it true. And for the other guy, puppets arent defined as having replaceable parts. |

I had set a reminder on Netflix for this masterpiece. Cannot wait to rewatch!! Still would have liked an episode where the molcars turned against their human masters

Replacement puppet animation exists for a long time, and Molcar was made exactly by that technic. They are not models. |

It's true that Wikipedia should be only a stepping stone to the definitive sources. So here are two definitive sources — two studios that are arguably the leading studios in stop-motion: https://www.aardman.com/course/first-steps-model-making/ https://www.aardman.com/the-studio/history/ https://www.laika.com/careers https://www.laika.com/our-films/missinglink/cast-crew-ml
On the front page: https://molcar-anime.com/wp-content/themes/molcar-anime/images/top/img-copy-2-pc.png
I would suspect that the first language of a good number of Aardman and Laika creators is English.
So on one hand, Laika, Aardman, and Shin-Ei Animation, among other stop-motion creators, say they make and use puppets. On the other hand ... who is saying that these stop-motion creators don't know what stop-motion puppets are? |
