ABSTRACT

Borivoj Dovnikovi-c-Bordo (born in 1930 in Osijek, the fourth largest city in Croatia) is an animation director and animator, a cartoonist, illustrator, comic strip, and graphic designer who began to work for Zagreb Film, then one of the leading animation places in the world. He was also involved in the World Festival of Animated Films in Zagreb as well ASIFA, the International Association of Animated Films. Foreign newspapers and books weren't imported to the country. One bookshop in Zagreb and the English Library were the only places to find cultural news from the West. It was in the 1950s. Later, after the total break from Stalin's block, Yugoslavia opened to the idea and the art from the Western countries. But otherwise, at that time there were not many books about animation in the world in general. 3D animation brought essential changes to film animation. The computer dramatically depreciated and expanded animation production all over the world.
