Like many other European filmmakers of his generation, Hungarian-born George Pal made his way to America after the Nazis came to power in Germany. By then, still in his early 30s, he'd already patented an animation technique using puppets instead of inked celluloid frames, called Puppetoons in the US; he won an honorary Oscar for the process in 1943, as well as being nominated for best short animation seven years in a row.
