Dutch Cartoon Modern

65 minutes
Dutch Cartoon Modern

In the 1950s the Cartoon Modern movement also hit the Netherlands, where artists at the Toonder and Geesink Studios had a great admiration for the works of the American UPA Studios.

Toonder expert Jan-Willem de Vries will be present to put this drastic, though temporary, change in Dutch animation style in context.

Furthermore, Englishman Alan Standen will join us, exactly 60 years after he set foot on Dutch grounds to paint backgrounds at the Toonder Studios. Standen was strongly influenced by Cartoon Modern, already during his time at the English Halas & Batchelor studios. He’ll bring back memories about that groundbreaking time back in the 1950s and 60s.

Dutch Cartoon Modern is Dutch and English spoken.
