The early role of stop-motion animation was to make objects appear to move as if by magic. In recent years stop-motion animation has been adapted for other purposes such as advertising and commercial entertainment.

The reason that stop- motion animation is so appealing is because it has a universal appeal meaning that it is appreciated by everyone, it is a medium where anything is possible.
