Great entries so far. Keep them coming!

I was sure somebody would come up with The Chainsaw Maid. Already knew it, but didn't know there are more episodes of it. Will check the new ones out tomorrow.

And another video from me: The trailer to one of the most touching movies of the last decade: Mary and Max

Hey, I've just remembered a claymation game from the past: The Neverhood. I've stumbled upon this title a few times while perusing some of those "obscure games that should be on GOG" threads.

Thank you so much for this great giveaway PaterAlf as I really like Wallace and Gromit so was kinda sad when this game was removed from GOG's catalog without clear prior warning. I really appreciate you not imposing any rep requirements which has afforded me the golden opportunity for a chance to play this game, so please do count me in.

Also a fantastic topic for the giveaway theme which is claymation animation, great to see the awesome stuff posted by others so far. Here is my humble contribution, it is fairly simple when it comes to the animation but the subject matter really hits home for me as I still remember the best time of my life to be the carefree childhood with all of my friends.

Hey, I remember this game, I read about it in a GamePro magazine a long time ago when I was kid and found it really interesting. :)

Thanks for the giveaway!

I just ADORE claymation in every form. The Neverhood is a Holy Grail of claymation, but there are two examples of my favourite ones:

Claycat's series: The Raid - near perfect retelling of The Raid movie, one of my favourites.

Clay Agent - very unique and funny game, made by 1C studio in 2001. A hidden (clay) gem! :-)

BTW: you can vote for Clay Agent here.

Oh my gosh, that looks like such a hoot! I'm in~!

When you say "claymation,"the first thing that pops into my mind is "Oh no, Mr. Bill!" ... although I couldn't find an official clip of just that part. You'll have to settle for Gumby on the Moon. :D

EDIT: Oh, and claymation-lovers should try out the game NUX. What fun, and you can play free for an hour! XD

Well, since I fortunally bought the game before it vanished (when was this, I don't recall it happening), I'm not in, but I would like to mention the great Shaun the Sheep (also by Aardman).

Memories keep flowing in... do you remember "Mork & Mindy", that late 70s TV show with a young Robin Williams? I recall that the closing theme had claymation - at least here in Italy, but I think also abroad. I am sure other Italian GOGers could confirm. Too bad, that's nowhere to be found on the Internet - on YT, you only get to see a frame, on the cover of the vinyl record of the Italian theme song. That song was very popular, especially among kids (I was too young to understand what the show was about, but that song and claymation really cheered me up), and I think it's well remembered even today.
I also happen to remember a commercial for a bleach ("Può"), which featured a black spot that suddenly "took life" and literally fled from the clothes. I found that a bit scary, actually! It was available via a YT channel dedicated to old Italian commercials of the 80s, but alas, I found that that channel has been closed, so I'm sorry, no video, either, just this (again, I appeal to fellow Italian GOGers).

Those Czech videos are lovely! The music is pretty melancholic...
Hello Spencer videos are awesome.
Thank you for sharing. The idea behind this giveaway is really nice.

I just remembered another claymation series from my childhood:

Plonsters

In Gemany these short movies were part of the Sesame Street.
