, del Toro professed his love of stop-motion animation.
“Stop-motion in my opinion is the most beautiful form of animation because it’s the most intimate. There is always a strong connection between the animator and the physical model,” he said.comics. I wanted all those models and I still want those models… I keep the puppets after the movies. I keep all the toys.“I f**king hate perfection. I love things that look hand-made. That’s why I put physical sets in my movies. I try to avoid digital sets and digital effects as much as we can.
“I have a scholarship for Mexican animators that go to study at Gobelins [the Paris-based animation school]. Every year I go to Gobelins and I say why is animation not as good as f**king shorts that any animation school has? Why? Why can’t we see a whole movie like that?,” he said.He advised the aspiring animators in the auditorium to channel their inner monster if they wanted to make their mark.

That’s the important thing about monsters. I love them because they represent a corporal f**k you to the world,” he said.
“Monsters are things that shouldn’t be but have their own beauty and imperfection and to nurture that is really important.”
