Clay-Mation

Clay animation is one of many forms of stop motion animation. Each animated piece, either character or background, is "deformable"—made of a malleable substance, usually Plasticine clay. All traditional animation is produced in a similar fashion, whether done through cel animation or stop motion. Each frame, or still picture, is recorded on film or digital media and then played back in rapid succession. When played back at a frame rate greater than 10–12 frames per second, a fairly convincing illusion of continuous motion is achieved. While the playback feature creating an illusion is true of all moving images.

there is many examples of Clay-Mation like Walce and Gromit and Purple and Brown on Nickelodeon.

I think this is one of the best ways to do animationm as its fun, and easy to do. and gives a light hearted, realistic effect to it.
