can anybody tell me if there has ever been
a 2-D or 3-D animated horror- or ghost-story?
as far as I know - there isn't any.
except - some horror-bad-animated movies.
and of course casper the friendly ghost,
and lonesome ghosts with mickey and the
gang. maybe some of the tim burton films,
but they are not really horror and scary.
I would love to work on one..

older

they are a bit older, from the 70s. I did them
during my studies at the university. there is
no 'disney touch' anymore. I loved the shorts
produced during the 60s by ZAGREB FILM. and
they were probably influenced by the UPA style.
so inventive. in the 80s I happened to find a
contact to the ZAGREB STUDIO. and they copied
exclusively 26 of my favourite shorts onto
VHS. it was expensive but worth every penny.
I still watch them very often. the same with
the UPA shorts. in L.A. I met through gerry
woolery and his playhouse pictures BOBE CANNON's
daughter. he was my absolute idol-animator.
his daughter had lots of stories to share
and a lot of pictures from the old days.

during the production of MULAN I did very
often sketches like this to get into the
'MULAN-mood'. once in a while I even added
my own invented 'chinese' calligraphy. you
can see a sample on the opening page of
the MULAN book, the black horse. chinese
art is fascinating, it is like the writing
in chinese. and some of the paintings
look like calligraphy. complete balance,
yin and yang..

some sketches..
