Abstract

In the middle of the 20th century, when the Disney animation dominated the world, the public had become accustomed to the narrative mode of Disney animation and the aesthetic standard of mainstream commercialization. The former Yugoslavia had a city named Zagreb, and their animations just like a warm wind blowing from southeastern Europe, stood out with its unique warm, humorous style, and was famous by its variety of animation styles. Zagreb school of animation began to enter the audience's sight. This paper through the study on Pioneer representative of Zagreb school of Animation-Bordo Dovnikovic's personal work style, tries to analyze the humor wisdom of "small potatoes" behind Zagreb school of Animation works. In the simple stories, artists use their unique creativity and imagination to make rational thinking and humor, use exaggeration, satire, absurd and other humorous means to compose ridiculous and joyful works. It seemed easy, humor and laughable, but in fact it led to the heavy thinking of social status at that time, their unique and noble personal charms decided that the Zagreb school had an indispensable status and historical significance in the development history of the world animation. At the same time we should also combine with China's animation situation, take a look at the Zagreb school of animation and see what is worthy of our learning.
