Ladislas Starevich a.k.a. Wladyslaw Starewicz (1892-1965) I got an e-mail question from Ray Pointer the other day on what I cover in my animation history classes. 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. In my search I came upon this site over at AWN: Ladislas Starevich

I am still going through it but it looks very complete. If you want to learn more about the first major stop motion animator you should check out this site.

They even have some movie clips from some of his films like Frog That Would Be King 1922. And a number of animated GIF files like this one below.



Great stuff, well worth a look.  ¶ 11:22 AM
