Azur et Asmar and Kirikou and the Sorceress. Both in surprising different styles.

2. KARA WALKER

Kara Walker’s Slavery! Slavery! (1997)


Kara Walker (born November 26, 1969) is a contemporary African American artist who explores race, gender, sexuality, violence and identity in her work. She is best known for her room-size tableaux of black cut-paper silhouettes.


Her work is reminiscent to Lotte Reiniger's animation, even though the thematic is completely different.
