Hand made, stop-motion-animated paper puppets are used in the closing credits of Madagascar: Escape To Africa.

If you’ve watched many recent animated films you may noticed the opening and closing credit sequences, which seem to be getting more and more creative every year. I haven’t seen Madagascar: Escape To Africa, but I love the film’s closing credits, available as a high-res download to watch online here.

The animation was designed and animated by the talented Jamie Caliri, who is one of my favorite animators. The fantastic paper puppets seen in the sequence were created by Meghan Brain (check them out on her blog here and here).
