Present Animators (The Brother's Quay)

The Brother's Quay:

Stephen and Timothy, both influential stop-motion animators have created films which are surreal and generally tend to involve inanimate objects coming to life. One of their major influences included Jan Svankmajer, where they named one of their films after him which was 'The Cabinet of Jan Svankmajer'. 

Most of their animation films then to feature puppets, who are often partly disassembled as well as being shot within a dark atmosphere due to wanted to receive the surrealist effect. Their best known work is 'Street of Crocodiles', this was generally selected as one of the 10 best animated films of all time. 

In my opinion I feel that there work is effective due to the facts that they have made their own work unique and also have one of their films being top 10 best animated films of all time even though, they do surrealist stop motion animation, which is the same genre as Jan Svankmajer. 

Here is a short clip from the animated film 'Street of Crocodiles':
