	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's love for theatre, coupled with a desire to act, led to her enrollment in studies under the famous theatre director, Max Reinhardt.
		Reiniger's involvement with the institute placed her in the company of other young artists eager to experiment with the infinite possibilities of this new creative medium known as film.
		Reiniger fondly remembers this period of her career: For the filmmakers of this period, those were the days: with each film we could make new discoveries, find new problems, new possibilities, technical and artistic, we were most eager to execute.

	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.

	Untitled Document
		Reiniger's technique was largely abandoned when cel animation methods became dominant in commercial studios under pioneers like Walt Disney and Max Fleischer.
		But Reiniger continued to use silhouettes in a prodigious life as a film artist, both in Germany and England, until her death in 1989.
		Reiniger employs an innovative art and craftsmanship that's a revolution away from the 'primitive' African artifacts that would inspire Braque and Picasso to break them up in Cubist disfigurements.

		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.

		While the idea of producing Tchaikovsky's famous "Nutcracker" on the larger-than-life IMAX screen may sound great, the results are very disappointing because the story is related as a fairy tale with background music--NOT as the beautiful ballet it was designed to be.

	Introduction to Animation
		Lotte Reiniger produced the first feature-length animated film, 'Prince Achmed'.

		During her early years, Reiniger was a student at Max Reinhardt's theatre school in Berlin and first became adept at the silhouette technique through designing intertitles for German films.
		Despite a lifelong struggle to find funding for her work, Reiniger was said to have produced more than 200 animated films, most of them shorts, produced and photographed by her husband/collaborator, Carl Koch; they worked together from 1921 until Carl's death in 1963.
		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.

	Doctor Dolittle: Lotte Reiniger's Animated "Dolittle" Feature (1922)
		Based on Lofting's first book, it was the second feature-length production by Lotte Reiniger, a German animation pioneer whose work employed a "silhouette cut-out" method (rather than the "painted cel" technique Disney would later use).
		That is, figures were cut out of fl paper and positioned on a background; one frame was shot; the animator re-positioned the figures; another frame was shot; and so on...
		Reiniger's "Doctor Dolittle" was a product of the silent era, so originally it would have been accompanied only by music (although the version I saw had been re-done for television decades later, and had a narration attached).
