Ladislaw Starewicz created some of the most imaginative and loveliest work of puppet animation ever filmed.While working in Russia, he directed the legendary The Cameraman's Revenge (1912), a story of love and infidelity among the insects, and the recently rediscovered The Insect's Christmas (1913), a dazzlingly beautiful film of the yuletide celebrations of a Christmas tree ornament and his tiny friends.After relocating to Paris, Starewicz made the political allegory The Frogs Who Wanted A King (1922), the gorgeous hand-colored fable Voice Of The Nightingale (1923), the irresistible The Mascot (1933), and the snowland fantasy Winter Carousel (1958).
