  Lotte Reiniger - Films as animator:, Other films:
Lotte Reiniger's career as an independent filmmaker is among the longest and most singular in film history, spanning some 60 years (1919–79) of actively creating silhouette animation films.
Prominent among Reiniger's talents was her transcendence of the inherent flatness and awkwardness of silhouette animation through her dramatic mise en scène and her balletic movements.
Hans Richter, who knew Reiniger in the early Berlin years, later wrote that she "belonged to the avant-garde as far as independent production and courage were concerned," but that the spirit of her work seemed Victorian.

  Lotte Reiniger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lotte Reiniger was born in Berlin-Charlottenburg, German Empire, on June 2, 1899.
As a teenager, Reiniger fell in love with cinema, first with the films of Georges Méliès for their special effects, then the films of actor and director Paul Wegener (known today for his two versions of Der Golem), which was more in the nature of a crush.
Reiniger was also trying to put together a third animated feature based on Maurice Ravel's opera L'Enfant et les Sortilèges (The Boy and the Bewitched Things) (1925), but she wasn't able to clear the rights with the unexpected number of copyright holders.

 Lotte Reiniger
Lotte Reiniger, when mentioned at all, is most often brushed off in a single sentence noting that she apparently made a feature-length silhouette film in 1926, The Adventures of Prince Achmed; but since that was in Germany, and silhouettes aren't cartoons, Disney still invented the feature-length animated film with Snow White.
Lotte tried for seven years to get the rights to the piece--a complex and expensive matter, since Ravel's music, Colette's libretto and the particular musical performance (singers, orchestra, etc.) had to be cleared separately.
Lotte Reiniger herself is the prime genius behind all of her films.

Lotte Reiniger spent much of her life creating unique and often amazing silhouette animation.
Even her later films, produced for television in the 1950s and noticeably less sophisticated than her early work, possess a pure cinematic magic that is present in the work of very few animators.
In all likelihood, there will never be a silhouette animator who will match Reiniger's skill, vision, and patience, and her films may well remain a unique testament to the potential achievements of the artform.

 The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1926) - PopMatters Film Review
Lotte Reiniger's The Adventures of Prince Achmed is the first full-length animated film in cinema history, yet her name remains relatively unknown among film scholars.
Similarly, Reiniger did not see her work in film in opposition to past traditions, but a way to revitalize them, using a new form, as when she used stop-motion photography to dramatize a tale from The Arabian Nights.
Reiniger used film to transcend such limits and investigate the connections between past and present traditions.

Of her work, The British Film Institute said, "Lotte Reiniger's silhouettes are in the tradition of the Eastern shadow theatre and retain the decorative ingenuity, the humor and inventiveness of this ancient craft, to which she applies the technical resources of the cinema.

This is a remarkable film; made in 1926 by a handful of people under the direction of Lotte Reiniger, ten years before Disney's 'Snow White', this is the first animated feature film still in existence - and we can count ourselves lucky, since the original negatives were all lost in the war.
