ABSTRACT
Bruno Bozzetto (born in 1938 in Milan) created his first animation short, Tapum, the History of Weapons in 1958 when he was 20. When only a few companies in Europe tried to compete with Disney on the animated feature film field, between 1965 and 1976, he produced West and Soda, Vip, Mio Fratello Superuomo, and Allegro Non Troppo. In 1987, in Trouble in Paradise, he worked with live actors too. Today, he devotes his time to 2D as well as 3D computer animation. In 1991, his film Cavalette was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Short. His most famous character is named Signor Rossi. The creation of Rossi and his graphical simplicity surely helped a lot from the economical point of view. Music is very important to me and it sort of opens the way to both, the story and the characters.
