Will Vinton and some of his stop motion characters.
The Moonwalker (1988) stuff was pretty cool. I remember that well. The California Raisins though (last image), I found them a little eerie. In fact, most of the Vinton Studios’ character designs had an eerie quality, probably because they looked so believable. You believed they lived. Uncanny Valley territory.
Vinton’s animated raisins had a big fat hit with “I Heard It Through the Grapevine”, by the way. Fortunately, I stopped trying to figure out life a long time ago.
Reblogging this as Will Vinton sadly passed away today.
basically all my favorite digimons are the ones that you get as punishment for mistreating your digimon
