Stanisław Dülz
, 1927 - 2006
Stanisław Dülz (1927–2006), originally from Lwów, was a Polish director and animator of cartoons, associated mainly with the company Studio Filmów Rysunkowych in Bielsko-Biała. After WW2, his family was forced to move to Silesia, where young Dülz started working as a miner. During his compulsory military service, his talent for drawing was spotted and developed; from 1950, he worked as drafter cartoonist, animator, and director. Although he was a director or artistic director in many popular animated series (Little Blue Knight, Wawel Dragon, Fox Leon or Captain Kliper), the full length animated films with the most popular characters of Polish bed time cartoons ever, Bolek and Lolek: Wielka podróż Bolka i Lolka [Bolek and Lolek’s Great Journey] (1977) and Bolek i Lolek na Dzikim Zachodzie (1986) [Bolek and Lolek in the Wild West] were his biggest professional successes. Awarded many times for contributions to the Polish culture (e. g. 1973 Prime Minister’s Award for Artistic Achievement, 1975 Silver Cross of Merit).
