Charlotte "Lotte" Reiniger was a German film director and the foremost pioneer of silhouette

animation. Reiniger made more than 40 films over her career, all using her invention. Her best
known films are The Adventures of Prince Achmed the oldest surviving feature-length animated
film, preceding Walt Disney's feature-length Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs by over ten years
and Papageno, featuring music by Mozart. Reiniger is also noted for devising a predecessor to
the first multiplane camera

something andcharacters
therefore creating silhouettes of images to create a story and the film

This animation was a really fun and good animation which took along tome to make because the
background and characters were detailed and the background especially was detailed the most
and looks like it took a long time to cut and put in position

The things she could have improved is the movement of the bear because it was hard to tell
what he was doing but overall it was good

The movement was not the best and jerky

No colour or dialogue so had to focus on body language more to see the expressions

I think we can see her influence in modern animation not because of the silhouettes but because
of her films she designed others copied her work but made it more animated because they
added colour and also speech and sounds of the characters and more of a detailed scheme of
the story most of her films she made was also replicated and made better by Walt Disney
