Magical! Unfortunately I had never heard of her before. Thank you so much for sharing this.

A beautiful documentary on a beautiful woman; being a significant milestone for the art of animation, thank you for sharing it :)

It’s like watching the Haute Couture equivalent of animation. The results are exquisite. 💖💖💖💖

In the description you miss the most important part: The documentary was produced by Louis Hagen, Reiniger's old art student. A Holocaust survivor, and a well-known writer in his own right, Hagen was instrumental in getting Reiniger much-deserved attention around this time. He produced many of her later films. See The Guardian obituary by Melanie McFadyean, "Louis Hagen: Wartime torture failed to dim his creative lust for life," Sep. 22, 2000 (available via online search).

I love when she says, "You take your best dining table, cut a hole into it..."

I am starting to be an animator, and believe me: patience is the most important thing

Before Walt Disney there was Lotte Reiniger.

And before Lotte Reiniger there was Quirino Cristiani.

@@ramonsancheztorello7111 its true, i think this is also in reference to Lotte inventing the multiplane camera and not getting credit though

A true innovator she was.
