Home   /   Stop Motion Props

From Nightmare Before Christmas to more obscure films, this gallery showcases our work restoring fragile original stop motion movie prop puppets. Our work restoring original movie and television props also includes stop-motion figures and puppets.

As with all of our conservation work, our approach emphasizes maintaining the integrity of the original prop, puppet or figure.  Wherever possible, we strive to preserve the original “feel” of the piece and especially any evidence of age and use in a production.
