This book provides a comprehensive account of Croatian animation history, as well as an analysis of background factors such as political and social circumstances and cultural heritage that influenced the great international success of Croatian animators between the 1960s and 1980s. The book focuses on the history of the Zagreb School of Animated Film, which produced dozens of extremely significant animated films between the 1960s and 1980s, which constituted an important epoch in the development of film animation as an artistic form. It provides a case study of three important films: Diary by Nedeljko Dragić, Don Quixote by Vladimir Kristl and Machine Gun Concert by Dušan Vukotić. The book also covers modern Croatian animation developed after the independence of the country. This book will be of great interest to academics, students and professionals working and researching in the field of animation.
