Joško Marušić: Zagreb School of animated Film

Kao jedan od najzastupljenijih oblika medija u današnje vrijeme, film pruža odraslima i djeci užitak, no i u odgojno-obrazovnom procesu ima potencijalno važnu ulogu. Godine 1922. Hrvatska započinje stvarati vlastite animirane filmove u obliku reklamnih filmova. Djeca gledajući animirane filmove razvijaju maštu, a s obzirom na to da su često likovi u animiranim filmovima osmišljeni kao nadnaravni junaci, djeca se poistovjećuju s istima i uživljavaju se u ulogu istih. Bogaćenju i razvoju Zagrebačke škole animiranoga filma svojim radom i stvaralaštvom doprinio je i hrvatski scenarist, filmski redatelj, animator, karikaturist, ilustrator i strip crtač Joško Marušić. Filmovi Riblje oko i Neboder Joška Marušića ostvarili su uspjeh na međunarodnoj razini. Prvi hrvatski domaći animirani film Duga, napravljen prema pripovijetkama Duga i Alkar autora Dinka Šimunovića, Jošku Marušiću je donio posebnu nagradu žirija na festivalu u Annecyju za najbolji animirani film i nagrada kritike u Oberhausenu. Posebnost Marušićevoga umjetničkog izražavanja u stvaranju filmova jest to što njegovi filmovi naizgled su namijenjeni djeci, ali po svojoj grotesknoj i ponekad nasilnoj tematici primjereniji su za zreliju dob.As one of the most common forms of media today, film provides adults and children with pleasure, but it also has a potentially important role in the educational process. In 1922, Croatia began making its own animated films in the form of commercials. Children develop an imagination by watching animated films, and since often the characters in animated films are designed as supernatural heroes, children identify with them and enjoy the role of the same. Croatian screenwriter, film director, animator, cartoonist, illustrator and comic artist Joško Marušić also contributed to the enrichment and development of the Zagreb School of Animated Film with his work and creativity. His films Fish Eye and Skyscraper have achieved international success. The first Croatian domestic animated film Duga, based on the stories of Duga and Alkar by Dinko Šimunović, brought Joško Marušić a special jury award at the Annecy Film Festival for the best animated film and criticism award in Oberhausen. The peculiarity of Marušić's artistic expression in making films is that his films are seemingly intended for children, but due to their grotesque and sometimes violent themes, they are more suitable for a more mature age
