Like Jan Svankmajer? Try The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb (bolexbrothers, 1991). Stop-motion animation combined with pixilation, wherein claymation figures and actors share the same frame, makes for a pretty creepy film. Add that to the generally bleak narrative, and you've got yourself a darn good movie -- especially for someone who's supposed to be studying pharmacology and a nine-year-old who, under a different roof, would probably be watching Mary Poppins.The Kid tells me he identifies with Jack, the seckel character who disables and robs people with hypodermic needles.
