beautiful illustrations defenitely have to look through the whole thread, im in love with (old) childrens books and also movies or tapes right now (dragging all the boxes with my old childrens stuff from the attic ). i cannot get enough of such illustrations....its so beautiful but at the same time very simple. as a kid you look at these pics in the book and just imagine the whole world to be as beautiful and simple as these paintings. with fairys and elfs...birds speaking to rabbits as to humans. ohhhh how i miss believing and living in such a simple and sweet world

Lotte Reiniger: The Fairy Tale Films

An enchanting animated film collection, with wonderful music tracks and charming narrations

Lotte Reiniger was one of the twentieth century's major animation artists, pioneering a unique and distinctive style of black and white silhouette animation in her interpretations of classic myths and fairy tales.

Reiniger began her career in Germany and in 1926 made The Adventures of Prince Achmed (available on BFI DVD), one of the first and most ingenious full-length animated films in the history of cinema. Her first film adaptation of a fairy tale was Cinderella in 1922. She moved to Britain in the 1930s where she joined the GPO Film Unit and later worked for the Crown Film Unit of the COI. From 1952 onwards, Reiniger, together with her husband Carl Koch, created a series of fairy-tale films for Primrose Productions based on the Brothers Grimm, Wilhelm Hauff, Hans Christian Andersen and the stories from One Thousand and One Nights.

Released in time for Christmas, in a two-disc digi-pac with additional features and a 22-page booklet of film notes and director biography, The Fairy Tale Films is a magical collection that will appeal to children and adults alike.

she seems to be inspired by characters in children's books, her personal dressing style
