German director Lotte Reiniger created one of the most highly praised animated films of all time, also inspired by parts of The Thousand and One Nights. Furthermore, The Adventures of Prince Achmed is the oldest surviving animated feature film and the first to be produced in Europe. Reiniger, a pioneer of the silhouette animation technique, used cut-out figures and located them in front of the camera in order to generate shadow play reminiscent of some of Münter's works.
