The depressing end of claymation

It's pretty depressing... with computer animation now, people don't use claymation anymore. The hand thing from Hamburger Helper and the Pillsbury Dough Boy totally aren't as good now as they used to be.

Thank goodness then for Wallace and Gromit - I think Nick Parks is working on a W&G feature film at the moment.

Amen to Wallace and Gromit! A feature film?! Woo.

I met Nick Park once, at some Christian Eventy thing I was working at. He seemed quite nice really. But yes, hooray for Wallace and Gromit!

Does anyone know what this movie is?
Ok..I admit I wasnt all into claymation but I do remember a very good movie that was done in this genre. It was made..in the 80's? of a boy who ticked off his parents (and no, i am not thinking of jumanji) but he goes into this old boardgame as AS one of the pieces so to speak ...like monopoly but not...and meets characters on the way that teach him the way of righteousness and he gets more of the fruit of the spirit inside him instead of acting all spoiled and selfish.

Does anyyyone remember the title to this movie?
help!

I fondly remember a claymation game called The Neverhood...
