Biscuit - Bricks in Motion Image Sequencing and Capture Unit Initiative.
I'm actually dead serious about this contender. It's unique, catchy, odd and funny. Thoughts?

For Krazy Kat fans, there can only be one name synonymous with flying bricks: Ignatz (Perhaps that should be synonymouse...)
All in favor of ReelAnimation? Say 'Ai".

I too really like this idea, as you said, it's short, catchy, and I think easy to remember. However, let's say this program becomes so popular among brickfilmers, that other forms of stop-motion animation start using the program, it might be a bit weird.
I still think this is the best name suggested so far, but what if we were to change it to...
Biscuit - Basic Image Sequencing and Capture Unit Initiative.
I don't think that it should be classified as basic, but perhapsI think that Biscuit is the best as it is odd, quirky, and unique. It doesn't even need to be an acronym if what it stands for limits its spectrum of abilities.

I agree, but why does it even need to be an acronym? Oh well, acronym or not Biscuit is what I vote for.
In my humble opinion, Biscuit is a great name to use. It doesn't need to be an acronym, just biscuit.
Maybe you could call it "Biscuit Animator" or "Biscuit Motion Pro," maybe "Biscuit Animation Studio."
Thanks for the positive reactions!
As Fun Sucker pointed out, I agree that the name biscuit would be a bit odd to use if the program ever really took off, but when you look around (MonkeyJam, Helium Frog) it's not that weird comparatively. I guess the B could stand for basic, but this program may evolve into something far from being basic... Anyhow, I realise the point made.
I think just using biscuit by itself, whilst still keeping a hint of acronym would be the best way to go about it. Most people think of Gimp as just the word Gimp, not as the GNU Image Manipulating Program, yet the origin of the acronym still exists. That's what we should do with biscuit.
@Sonjira, I don't think it's really necessary to add 'Animator' or 'Pro' to the end of the name, purely because it doesn't give anything to the title, and also allows it to blend in (we want it to be individual, don't we?) with the multitude of other programs that end in 'Animator' or 'Pro'. Thanks anyway though!
FilmBrick?
It all comes down to this:
ReelAnimation? (I personally like that one)
or
Biscuit?
To be fair, I'm allowing a vote- I'm not going to be dictator, although I am leader.... 
Biscuit
I like Biscuit.
Biscuit! Although if I website and stuff get made it would probably be best if it is known as Biscuit Animator
Biscuit.
Biscuit it is....
