  Ladislas Starevich - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ladislas Starevich (August 8, 1882 - February 26, 1965), born Władysław Starewicz, was a Polish, Russian and French stop-motion animator who used insects and animals as his protagonists.
Wishing to remain independent, Starevich moved to Fontenay-sous-Bois and started on a series of puppet films that would last for the rest of his life.
Following Aesop's fable of the frogs who demand a king from the god Jupiter and are disappointed by the results, the film shows a clear preference not for the pre-monarchial or decadent democracy (which would likely be the slant of an American or French film), but for King Log's form of libertarian government.

Ladislas Starevich (August 8, 1882 - February 26, 1965), born Wladyslaw Starewicz, was a Polish, Russian and French stop-motion animator, using insects and animals as his protagonists.
At this time, Wladislaw Starewicz changed his name to Ladislas Starevich, presumably because it was easier to pronounce in French.
Ladislas Starevich died on February 26, 1965, while working on "Comme chien et chat" Dog and Cat.

 History of Russian animation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first animator in Russia was Ladislas Starevich, who was of Polish descent and is therefore also known by the name of Wladyslaw Starewicz.
Being a trained biologist, he started to make animation with embalmed insects for educational purposes, but soon realized the possibilities of his medium to become one of the undisputed masters of stop motion later in his life.
His first few films, made in 1910, were dark comedies on the family lives of cockroaches, and were so revolutionary that they earned Starevich a decoration from the Tsar.

A third tape, Three Shorts by Ladislas Starevich, includes The Mascot (1933), Nose to the Wind and Winter Carousel (1958), and is available from Festival Films.
None of these Starevich titles are available on laserdisc, where the animation could be examined frame by frame, which would help explain what Starevich accomplished, but still not explain how.

While doing a quick overview for him I forgot how to spell Ladislas Starevich (since he spelled it 3 different ways over his life I didn't feel too bad) I just went out looking for at least one of the 3 ways that he spelled it.

 Movie Info for Le Roman De Renard on MSN Movies
The film for this rare full-length animated feature was fully developed and shot by 1930 - just when sound was beginning to be heard in movies.
It was made by the nearly legendary animator Ladislas Starevich, a Russian-born Pole who worked almost exclusively in France; this was his only full-length feature.
The original plan was for it to be shown with a coordinated soundtrack played on records, but technology outpaced those plans, and the film was put in storage until several years later.

BTW: I'm sure you were using hyperbole, but just for the record, the Great Ray Harryhausen did NOT INVENT stop-motion.
It goes back before he was born; probably a toss-up between Russian Ladislas Starevich and Emile Cohl.
BTW: Starevich animated DEAD INSECTS, and if you want to see an astonishing piece of originality -- rent or buy "The Cameraman's Revenge" (It's available as a compilation with many of his other shorts.) You won't be disappointed.

SpiderBaby's name and logo emerged from a two-day brainstorming session Marlene and I had on our kitchen table in Marlboro, Vermont, overlooking a lovely view of the nearby swimming pond.
She suggested my using or evoking my old nickname and comix "pen name" "Spider." While playing with the possibilities, I happened to glance at the TV screen while our children were watching a videocassette of The Camerman's Revenge, a vintage Ladislas Starevich stop-motion animated short peopled by insects.
At that moment, a mother Stag Beetle was cradling her little infant beetle, and the name "Spider Baby" came to mind.

Anyhoot, that's not relevent: Night Flight offered eclectic blends of music videos past (early sound era) and (circa the early 1980s) present, archival movie trailers, pre-Spike & Mike era outrageous animated shorts like JacMac and RadBoy GO!
followed by a sequence from one of Russian animator Ladislas Starevich's silent or early sound stop-motion creations, and so on.
It was a delightful mix which infrequently would dedicate the majority or an entirity of an evening to a single feature.
