Editor’s note

Dutch Vintage Animation

Dear animation film lovers,
In 2011, I launched this website with great enthusiasm, simply because I felt that the classic puppet films from Joop Geesink’s Dollywood deserved to be more widely accessible. Since then, I have invested countless hours in this site, purchased software for it, rented server space, and so on. I am truly immensely grateful for any (substantial) contribution you wish to make to this site. The more money we receive, the longer this site can continue to exist.

Please give generously.
Thank you!
