NETTLESOME: TRICKFILM

These images are taken from a German book on animation. The book is translated into five languages and doesn't say where each film is made, so I have given each the English title.

VALIANT HANS - KLAUS AND KATJA GEORGI

THE MAGIC SCISSORS - BRUNO J. BOTTGE

THE GHOST IN THE VILLAGE - ERICH HAMMER

THE DRAWING ON THE WALL - LOTHAR BARKE

THE DRAWING ON THE WALL - LOTHAR BARKE

"THE DRAWING ON THE WALL" - Stefan, a bright twelve-year-old, arrives late at the dentist, because he had lingered on the way to join other children drawing on the wall. He is angry because the dentist tells him to come again tomorrow at a time when he wanted to be playing. In 'revenge' he draws a caricature of the dentist, armed with a corkscrew, on the wall at the entrance. In the night Stefan dreams of his caricature, and is very frightened. Next day, when the dentist is treating him, he realises what a mistake he has made, and wipes his picture off the wall.

THE CONTEST - BRUNO J. BOTTGE

THAT'S HOW I SEE IT - BRUNO J. BOTTGE

"THAT'S HOW I SEE IT" - A painter leaves it up to luck what subject he will choose for his picture. At a building site he begins to make a sketch of a worker in abstract style. The worker protests that that is not how he looks. The painter replies: "That's how I see it". Then the worker draws the artist. The painter protests that he has drawn a donkey, and not him. "That's how I see it" replies the worker.
