The
Professor and Horace also demonstrate different animation techniques,
including pin screen, pixillation, rotoscope, and cutout and
puppet animation. They discuss the most significant animated
films of the past 100 years– everything from Emile Reynaud
and Winsor McCay’s early works, to Fleischer, Disney and
Warner Brothers in the United States, to historically important
films from every continent. Trnka, Svankmajer, Ocelot, Plympton,
Aardman, Servais – they are all included. Professor Elderberry
and Horace were created by Bill Plympton, America's most prolific,
most successful independent animator. They were animated by
Konstantin Bronzit, winner of numerous awards including the
1995 Grand Prize at the Annecy Animation Festival and three
major prizes at the 1999 Festival. |

Plympton Plympton's first fully realized film was Boomtown, set to the Jules Feiffer song. He then embarked on an unprecedented string of successful short films, including One of those Days, How to Kiss, 25 Ways to Quit Smoking, and Plymptoons, all of which won major animation awards. By this
time, Plympton had developed a distinctive style, punctuated
by the fact that he draws every cell himself in his New York
City apartment. His first feature film, The Tune, was
initially released in sections as short films, including The
Wiseman and Push Comes to Shove, which won the
1991 Prix du Jury at the Cannes Film Festival. Plympton's second
feature, I Married a Strange Person, had a successful
international theatrical run and is now a hit on video and DVD.
His third feature, Mutant Aliens., is about to be released. Bronzit
began his animation career in his home town of St. Petersburg
where, after graduating art school, he worked as an animator
at the film studio, Lennauchfilm, from 1985 to 1992. In 1993,
he was recruited by the Pilot animation studio in Moscow, where
he directed a number of successful films and a series of award-winning
advertisements. [ TOP ] CLIPS

Christian Science Monitor “The producers have been remarkably successful in securing very rarely seen international animation and contextualizing it both culturally and historically. Highly sophisticated technical information is simplified for the average viewer and entertainingly presented.” David Ehrlich, Professor of Film and Television Studies - Dartmouth College “A rare visual delight: an inspired, inspiring history of animated film.” Milwaukee Journal Sentinel |
