Estonian Animation

Ever wonder why Estonian animation features so many carrots or why cows often perform pyramids? Well, neither question is answered in Chris RobinsonΓÇÖs new book, Estonian Animation. RobinsonΓÇÖs frank, humorous, and thoroughly researched book traces the history of EstoniaΓÇÖs acclaimed animation scene from early experiments in the 1930s to the creation of puppet (Nukufilm) and cel (Joonisfilm) animation studios during the Soviet era, as well as EstoniaΓÇÖs surprising international success during the post-Soviet era. In addition, Robinson writes about the discovery of films by four 1960s animation pioneers who, until the release of this book, had been unknown to most Estonian and international animation historians.
