Der Schneemann

Der Schneemann, or The Snowman is a 1943 animated short[?], created by the Nazis as propaganda material. It was written by cartoonist Horst von Möllendorff and animated by Hans Fischerkoesen[?]. It was animated in Potsdam, Germany[?], near UFA's[?] Neubabelsberg Studios[?].

Described as being witty and inventive, the weight of the story is often carried by graphic brilliance and astonishing small details. The general gist of the story is of a snowman that hides in a refrigerator in order to experience spring.
