Lotte Reiniger - Papageno - (1935).m4v

Silhouette artworks in cinema and cartoons!

Lotte Reiniger's silhouette cut-outs are astounding and 

extraordinary.  The silhouette theme began in Turkish

shadow puppets, with a religious undertone, using the 

soul as the theme of a shadow.  Walt Disney was inspired

to make his first cartoons from silhouette artist Lotte Reiniger.
