Check out anything Aardman Animation have done in the last decade or so. It's all perfectly smooth as silk. If they can do it with plasticine then it can be done it with rubber puppets and physical models.
Oh yes, I remember their stop motion films. I have the Chicken Run and Wallace & Grommit movies on DVD.
Some of the best stop motion animation out there for sure.
Sidenote- I just Aardman Animation is bringing back my favorite series as a little kid! Morph
