George Pal

Born 1908 in Cegled was a stop motion animator Since animated films at the time were generally for advertisement, Pal wanted to start by animating cigarettes. The Czech tobacco world was not interested in animated advertisements, but the French were, so the Pals moved to Paris.

I believe that stop motion animation is made for people who enjoy how people spend long hours of time a day to create and bring life to their creation through the means of stop motion as they have full control of the movements and emotions of the characters they made and i feel like it is seem by most people who enjoy to watch stop motion. 

i believe that stop motion will slowly dwindle but i don't think it will ever disappear as i think that there will always be people who like and are inspired by stop motion and don't want to see it go and so they create their own stop motion creations for others to see and be inspired about
