Ladislas Starevich is considered the father of stop-motion animation. His early pioneering works were short sub-10-minute length stories in which dead insects were animated within beautifully crafted miniature worlds. For years these films were a mysterious and oft discussed subject in the animation world but few had been seen by anyone and many were thought to be lost.
Research and archival work in the early 80s led too a major rediscovery of Starevich’s work. Today many of his films can be found on the web or purchased on DVD.

Sadly, the French DVD Les Contes de l'Horloge Magique (The Magic Clock Fables) collection (the trailer for it is at the top of this page) is not available in the US (or at least, I can’t find it anywhere online). It’s available on Amazon.fr, but I'm not sure how you go about ordering or paying for it from the states. Below is a link if you feeling ambitious. (Just remember the DVD will be in PAL (Region 2) form so you wont be able to play it on a US DVD player. However, you will still be able to play it on your computer with some easily downloadable freeware such as VLC player.
