Death Of An Animator

April 25, 2020 By achuka Leave a Comment

The New York Times reports the death of Gene Deitch, “an Oscar-winning animator who created the early television cartoon “Tom Terrific” and went on to make countless cartoons and film versions of popular children’s books for more than a half-century, died on April 16 in Prague, where he lived. He was 95.”

Deitch  made animated version of Maurice Sendak’s “Where the Wild Things Are” (1975),  Tomi Ungerer’s “Moon Man” (1981) and many other other well-regarded children’s books.

An excellent, recommended obituary.
