I too was shocked and a bit offended that it was called a B movie. But the budget was a freaking measly $6.4 million.
That’s peanuts even back in 1984.

Indeed they accomplished a lot, an all time classic movie. Some of my friends were a bit critical about the stop motion not being very good in their opinion. But I just thought the movie was amazing.

That can be the case, but IMO Terminator 2 was an amazing follow up, and it had 15 times bigger budget.
