Comparison to computer-generated imagery
Reasons for using stop motion instead of the more advanced computer-generated imagery (CGI) include the low entry price and the appeal of its distinct look. Another merit of stop motion is that it accurately displays real-life textures, while CGI texturing is more artificial and not quite as close to realism. This is appreciated by a number of animation directors, such as Guillermo Del Toro, Henry Selick , Tim Burton and Travis Knight.

Del Toro aimed to expressed the benefits of stop motion in Pinocchio saying he wanted "the expressiveness of handmade piece of animation, an artisanal, beautiful exercise in carving, painting and sculpting.
