, b. 1970
Tartakovsky, an author and script writer, was born in Russia in an assimilated Jewish family. When he was seven years old he moved with his family to the U.S. At the age of 16, he had to combine work with high school because of his father’s death. Later he studied at the Columbia College and at Chicago and California Institute of the Arts. In these schools, he took his first steps in animation. His new skills allowed him to create such cartoons as Dexter’s Laboratory, Star Wars: Clone Wars and Hotel Transylvania which was his movie debut in 2012.
