The book focuses on the history of the Zagreb School of Animated Film, which produced dozens of extremely significant animated films between the 1960s and 1980s, which constituted an important epoch in the development of film animation as an artistic form. It provides a case study of three important films: Dnevnik by Nedeljko Dragic, Don Kihot by Vladimir Kristl and Koncert za masinsku pusku by Dusan Vukotic. The book also covers modern Croatian animation developed after the independence of the country.This book will be of great interest to academics, students and professionals working and researching in the field of animation.

Midhat Ajanović is a writer and film scholar born in Sarajevo (Bosnia) in 1959. He studied journalism in Sarajevo and practiced film animation at the Zagreb Film Studio of Animation (Croatia). Since 1994 he has lived in Gothenburg where he obtained a degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Film Studies. He teaches storytelling, history and aesthetics of cinema animation at University West in Trollhättan and writes regularly about film and animation.

“Ajanović's Animation in Croatia is not the first English-language book on the Zagreb School, but it is the most comprehensive. It is the only history of the Zagreb School that follows it to its decline. One of the book’s most interesting aspects is that Ajanović’s analysis does not stop in the early 1980s. He also examines what happened afterward, up to the present day. Given that the more recent history of Croatian animation is far less studied, his book holds even greater significance.”Jurica Pavičić, published in Jutarnji.
