Euan Frizzell
Frizzell was born and raised on the Canterbury Plains. He is credited with making over 200 animations in commericals and children's shows. Some examples of Frizzel's work for children are "The Wizard and his Magic Spells (1984)" and "Shopping with a Crocodile (1986). In the mid 70s he studied for a Diploma in Visual Communication in Design at Wellington Polytechnic and went on to train as an animator at Halas & Batchelor studio in England.
Euan Frizzell became a icon for NZ after animating Magaret Mahy's " The Great White Man-Eating Shark". The success of this one animation lead to Frizzell to animate four more of Magaret Mahy's children's stories. These tales were "The Boy with Two Shadows", "Keeping House", "The Witch in the Cherry tree" and "The Three-legged cat". Another part of Frizzell's work was animating famous cartoon characters such as Bugs Bunny, Road Runner, Duffy Duck and Fred Flintstone. Without a doubt, Frizzell's work on the Mahy children's tales and classic cartoon characters inspired many New Zealand kids to pursue animation as a career.
Some of Frizzell's more recent work includes animating the demon/ devil in Glen Standring's "The Irrefutable truth about demons" and acted as lead animation on the set of Jonathan King's remake of "Under the Mountian". Frizzell is credited with work in many fields of animation, including 2D, 3D, VFX and Claymation.
