Puppet
A form of stop-motion animation created by moving puppets frame-by-frame. First used in the USSR by Aleksandr Ptushko in the 1930s, often in combination with live-action. Later 'rediscovered' by Yevgeney Migunov in 1953 at Soyuzmultfilm. His methods and tools became the base on which later puppet films would be made.
