Gisèle Ansorge () and Ernest, known as Nag Ansorge () had a lasting influence on national and international animated film with their animated films.

Thirteen films were made, from 10 to 20 minutes in length, of which eight were animated. In the beginning, one thought they would have filmed flowers, family scenes, memories, but they didn't go in that direction at all. Rather they wanted to produce an expressive film in live-action. Above all, they wanted to create in animation.
