Dušan
Vukotic´, co-founder of the Zagreb Film Studio, was instrumental
in establishing what became known as the “Zagreb School”
of animation. In addition to limiting the number of drawings against
rudimentary or abstract backgrounds, another of the studio's pioneering
distinctions was that a single artist would work in direction, design,
drawing, and story. When Vukotic's short, The Playful Robot (1956),
won an award at the Pula Film Festival on the Istrian peninsula
in Croatia, the new Zagreb Film was off and running as one of the
world's most influential animation studios.
Vukotic's
earliest cartoons were satires of American movie genres: Cowboy Jimmy,
The Great Fear, and Concerto for a Machine Gun. Piccolo, which Vukotic
directed, designed, and animated himself, was
among the first in a wave of Zagreb cartoons that reflected his strongly-held
belief in auteurism and individual style. With his film, Ersatz (sometimes
known by its Croatian title, Surogat), in 1961 Vukotic´ became
the first film director from outside the United States to win an Academy
Award for best animated short. In the late 1960s he experimented with
combining live-action and animation in such films as The Game, Ars
Gratia Artis, and A Stain on His Conscience.
