Do not confuse this animation with stop animation. Model animation is actually a form of stop motion animation but it is out there to push both humans and and animation together. Andthe best ones out there are?
King Kong 1933
This is the original Kong film and the one that all of the other stop motion films take their route from. The model is one of the most famous in the world and there is actually only one left from the film. This film has actually been put into.
Song of Kong 1933
This one was the direct sequel to the movie and it was released in the same year, amazingly. It would certainly be impossible to do that now, the creators knew the film wouldnt be as good as the first so they turned up the comedy for the second one. This one still turned out to be a huge success and without these films it is possible the many Japanese films would not have existed.
James and the Giant Peach
This was of course the film that was based upon the 1961 novel by Roald Dahl. Burton was died down by Batman so only acted in as produced while Selick ended up being the director for this film. This film really shows off the power of model animation and just how it can work seamlessly with real life actors. This film met so many good reivews but it never seemed to make a profit.
Bonus Entry
The Nightmare Before Christmas
This one is actually a stop motion picture which is why I have no included it the main list but it has to be one of the biggest and best stop motion films of all time and it made a massive $50 million when it was first shown in theatres, Disney were a bit worried about putting their name to it so they used their other company touchstone.
For real models check out plastic model kits and for a bit of fun look into RC cars or RC aircraft.
