Aardman are one of the top stop motion companies out there right now.
All of their work uses a similar style, which is simple yet brings out their characters so well (which I think is partly down to the animating/movements of them) and defines them as a company.
The most memorable for me is Wallace and Gromit, which has been the most popular amongst audiences around the world.
I like this style and I think looking at my own work, I have been sub consciously inspired by their style for years...
There's an exhibition, being opened 24th May 2014, called 'Wallace & Gromit From The Drawing Board', which will display development work and memorabilia from the iconic series of short films.
It's taking place at the 'M Shed Museum' in Bristol, which is very close to the actual Aardman Studio!

Even their website is quirky and interactive, with animation on a constant loop running along the bottom:
