Mindbender is a great little studio in Sweden, they do great work making CG rigs look more like stop-motion rigs. I've been looking at their latest animation. It's great to step through, using multiples and pops. Just shows what you can do when you stop thinking of the rigs when you sculpt every frame. Would love to get my hands on that rig.

Look at their latest work:
