Horst von Möllendorff
German cartoonist
Horst von Möllendorff (26 April 1906 – 17 December 1992[1]) was a German cartoonist who was "drafted" to work for the Nazis' animated short industry. He was hired as a result of former commercial animator Hans Fischerkoesen not being able to come up with adequate story ideas for his short films. Horst was pulled from his job as a popular Berlin newspaper cartoonist to become a gagman for the animation industry.
Möllendorff received authorship for at least three films:
- Verwitterte Melodie (Weather-beaten Melody), 1942
- Der Schneemann (The Snowman), 1943
- Hochzeit im Korallenmeer (Wedding in the Coral Sea), 1945
