Research - History of Stop Motion

Here are some very important people in the history of stop motion. You will be researching each of these people. In Google Classroom, Open a Google doc, share it with me, and put the following answers in the doc.

For each person, answer the following:

When did they live?
Where were they from, what country did they work in?
What is a movie that they created?
