Your animation education isn’t complete without at least one reference to Priit Parn. And you’ be surprised to learn where the Kalsky-Csupo aesthetic some of you grew up on in early Simpsons episodes and Rugrats actually has it’s origin.

Estonia is a small nation with a big reputation when it comes to animation.
Estonian animation dates back to the 1930s when animators first created short, experimental works. The art form blossomed in the 1950s with puppet animation, and the nation’s international reputation continued to grow through its stunning and innovative stop-motion, cel, multi-media and now computer-generated works.
