Te Wei (1915-2010)
The master of Chinese animation, Te Wei (Sheng Tewei), has passed away at age 95. Te Wei, a pioneering animator and cartoonist, was one of the founding fathers of the Shanghai Animation Studio. His most significant film of the 1950s was The Conceited General , which I’ve embed below: In the 1960s his animation style was influenced by the painter Qi Baishi. His 1963 mastepiece, The Cowboy’s Flute (Part 1 below), is one of the most beautiful films from China – or anywhere. (Thanks, Saturnome)

The Simpsons mocks (m)Apple
[Apple]Few have been spared the satire of Matt Groening's long running animated sitcom.
