Brothers Quay

Stephen and Timothy Quay, better known as the Brothers Quay are influential stop-motion animators. Twin brothers born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, they reside and work in England.

The Quays' works (1980-present) show influence from Czech animator Jan Svankmajer, for whom they named one of their films The Cabinet of Jan Svankmajer. Most of their films feature dolls, often partially disassembled, in a dark, moody atmosphere. Perhaps best known is Street of Crocodiles.
