Starevich was doing stop motion animated films in 1912: "The Beautiful Leukanida" or "The Cameraman's Revenge".

17 min documentary showing Reiniger's technique/process
Amazing film. (I discovered it via "1001 Movies to See Before You Die.")
Copies are on YT:
I’m shocked I never heard of this before.
Just watched the first couple minutes of The Adventures of Prince Achmed and it’s unlike anything I’ve seen before.
IIRC, that's the movie they play on loop at the kids section of Landesmuseum in Zürich.
It's The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1926). IMDB page: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0015532/
I wonder if she knew of Henri Rivière and his "Ombres Chinoises."

The Shadow Theatre at "Le Chat Noir" was fairly famous, no?
Amazing story!
I was unaware of her.
Thanks!
100 years old, yet its copyright only expired five years ago—in the United States. In Europe and other life+70 regions, the film will remain copyrighted past 2050, even though Lotte Reiniger died nearly half a century ago!
