The original was stop-motion, but this sequel is very cheap CG. The lack of sufficient interstitial frames makes the whole thing look much like stop motion, though it's unclear whether this was intentional or simply a result of the low budget.

StopMotion is an old and respected art form. Prior to the invention of CGI it was the main way to create animation that looked 3D and/or realistically textured, and for this reason it developed into both a medium in its own right, and as a means of creating special effects for live-action works.
However, stop motion is also notoriously time and labor intensive to produce, even compared to other forms of animation. It's also flat-out impossible to utilize in certain mediums, such as 3D video games. Certain elements such as intense action sequences or complicated character designs are also extremely difficult if not impossible to produce with stop motion. For these reasons, a lot of modern creators will resort mimicking the appearance of stop motion using other mediums that are easier and/or cheaper to work with, usually computer animation.
In order to pull this off, expect the creators to deliberately mimic many of stop motion's telltale quirks. The framerate or animation will be more [[LimitedAnimation limited]] than what is otherwise possible in the medium, and surfaces will be made to appear as if they were constructed of the materials typically used in stop motion, such as plasticine, clay, fabric, or paper. The models may display deliberate "imperfections" that sometimes show up in stop motion, such as fingerprints and dents, in order to make them appear as if they've been handled by stop motion animators.
Compare {{Retraux}}, where a newer work is deliberately produced in an older medium or made to look like it is. Compare other tropes where one form of animation imitates another, such as CelShading[[note]]where 3D animation tries to match the look of traditional hand-drawn cel animation[[/note]], {{Animesque}}[[note]]Non-Japanese animation that looks like anime[[/note]], and {{Disneyesque}}[[note]]Non-Disney works mimicking the style of Disney animation[[/note]]. May overlap with ArtShift if stop fauxtion is used for a smaller segment of work that normally uses a different art style.

* ''WesternAnimation/BigNate'': The series is produced in CGI, but is animated in a stop-motion framerate of 12 frames per second.
* ''WesternAnimation/GabbysDollhouse'' uses this for only one character - Baby Box. As she is made from cardboard, she specifically is animated at a lower framerate than the others.
* ''WesternAnimation/GoGoCoryCarson'' is computer-animated, but has a low framerate similar to claymation.
* ''WesternAnimation/RemyAndBoo'' uses a stop-motion framerate despite being CGI.
* ''Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys'' is a CG movie by Goodtimes that acts as a sequel to the Rankin-Bass classic. The original was stop-motion, but this sequel is very cheap CG. The lack of sufficient interstitial frames makes the whole thing look much like stop motion, though it's unclear whether this was intentional or simply a result of the low budget.
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' is the SpiritualSuccessor to animated shorts created using StopMotion with construction paper; however the show, aside from the PilotEpisode, uses computer animation to replicate this style. This allows each episode to be produced entirely within the week before they air, in contrast to most animation [[AnimationLeadTime which has to start production several months or even years before release]], enabling the show to be extremely topical.
* The works of Elizabeth Ito, such as ''WesternAnimation/WelcomeToMyLife'' and ''WesternAnimation/CityOfGhosts'', are CGI but are animated so as to resemble claymation.
However, stop motion is also notoriously time and labor intensive to produce, even compared to other forms of animation. It's also flat-out impossible to utilize in certain mediums, such as 3D video games. Certain elements such as intense action sequences or complicated character designs are also extremely difficult if not impossible to produce with stop motion. For these reasons, a lot of modern creators will resort mimicking the appearance of stop motion using other mediums that are easier and/or cheaper to work with, usually computer animation.
In order to pull this off, expect the creators to deliberately mimic many of stop motion's telltale quirks. The framerate or animation will be more [[LimitedAnimation limited]] than what is otherwise possible in the medium, and surfaces will be made to appear as if they were constructed of the materials typically used in stop motion, such as plasticine, clay, fabric, or paper. The models may display deliberate "imperfections" that sometimes show up in stop motion, such as fingerprints and dents, in order to make them appear as if they've been handled by stop motion animators.
Compare {{Retraux}}, where a newer work is deliberately produced in an older medium or made to look like it is. Compare other tropes where one form of animation imitates another, such as CelShading[[note]]where 3D animation tries to match the look of traditional hand-drawn cel animation[[/note]], {{Animesque}}[[note]]Non-Japanese animation that looks like anime[[/note]], and {{Disneyesque}}[[note]]Non-Disney works mimicking the style of Disney animation[[/note]]. May overlap with ArtShift if stop fauxtion is used for a smaller segment of work that normally uses a different art style.
!!Examples
[[AC: Anime]]
* ''Pingu in the City'' was a Japanese reboot of ''WesternAnimation/{{Pingu}}'', which used CG animation to recreate the claymation appearance of the original cartoon.
[[AC: Film -- Animation]]
* Creator/AardmanAnimations made their name as a stop motion studio, but starting with ''WesternAnimation/FlushedAway'' they branched out into making CGI films that take after the the style of their stop motion work to varying degrees of faithfulness.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie'', [[WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie2TheSecondPart its sequel]] and ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoBatmanMovie'' are CGI, but are made to look as if they were animated in stop motion using actual Legos.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Minions}}'': The bedtime story Scarlet tells the minions (which doubles as a veiled threat if they [[YouHaveFailedMe fail her]]) is rendered to look like stop-motion, with lower frame rates and sets that look like miniatures.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheWilloughbys'': The movie is an [[AllCGICartoon All CGI Cartoon]], but it the animation looks like it's been done in Stop-Motion.
[[AC: Film -- Live-Action]]
* ''Film/{{Krampus}}'': Omi's story of the titular creature coming to her village and taking everyone but her is shown in a CG segment made to mimic multiple styles of stop-motion. Omi herself is animated in a style similar to the characters in Creator/{{Laika}}'s films, the other chracters are shadow puppets, and the effects are done in a paper-cutout style.
[[AC:Video Games]]
* ''VideoGame/KirbyAndTheRainbowCurse'' uses a claymation style for both its character models and environments.
* ''VideoGame/WallaceAndGromitsGrandAdventures'' is CGI since it's a video game, but it still has things like fingerprints left on the models in order to replicate the stop motion of the source material.
[[AC:Web Animation]]
* ''WebAnimation/CaptainYajima'' is a CGI animated short animated in Blender, but given a [[Creator/RankinBassProductions Rankin/Bass]] design for the characters, while also adding effects such as strings on spaceships to give a lower budget stop motion style.
[[AC: Western Animation]]
