I just watched 'Peter and the Wolf' the other day (the Rudolf "claymation" style) and really liked it. Is there any other movies that are similar to this? I enjoyed the story, animation and sound track.. also the fact that they didn't speak made it unique. Suggestions?

    That's a pretty unique piece, seeing as the music is "Peter and the Wolf" and the visuals are just added in.

    I'd say look for other classical orchestral works and see if any have movie adaptations or fan made videos to go with the music.

    Fantasia (all music/no words, animated but not claymation)
    Wallace and Gromit (claymation but with words and not classical music)
    Green Jelly (non classical music claymation)
    Luxo Jr. (Pixar animated films, no words)

    It kind of depends on which parts you really specifically liked. If it was really the claymation, then Fantasia won't do it for you, if it was the children's story type of deal then Green Jelly definitely won't work, if it was the lack of words telling a story then Wallance and Gromit won't work, etc.

    Thanks, I'll try those.

    Overall, it was just the whole package of it.
    Something cute and light and well packaged.

    Oh dear, don't do Green Jelly then, haha. The rest is fine though.

    Two others to consider
    Coraline was some pretty amazing stop motion work
    Strings is a slightly darker fairy tale done with marionettes (google the trailer)
