Note 16: Lars Jakobsen, cited work, pp. 52-53, 121-122, 121, 122. The
later Oscar winner for the cartoon Anna & Bella, Børge Ring, was in
1938 a student at Jørgen Myller at Gutenberghus. Ring tells about this in the
same place, pp. 60-61, 60, 61. Børge Ring was even allowed to animate a figure,
a bullet carrier, in the advertising cartoon "Meet the cold with
heat", of which he was an employee in 1938. It can therefore not be from
1943-45. - Incidentally, it is also not entirely correct when Lars Jakobsen,
cited work, pp. 94-95, leaves the impression that the advertising cartoon "The
Robber Barbarossi" was produced during the VEPRO era. The film, on the
other hand, was produced around 1944-45 by the newly started advertising agency
illustra at Gl. Torv in Copenhagen. The animator on the film was quite rightly
Chris, who at the time was working freelance. - Under the heading "A
Danish Cartoon is created", written by Hartvig Andersen, VEPRO is
mentioned in an illustrated article in "Mandens Blad" for February
1941, but without the company name itself being mentioned. - In Jakob
Stegelmann's book "Tegnefilmens historie" under the heading "Det
danske Tegnefilms-Hollywood" an illustrated article is reproduced, which
was supposed to originate from the magazine "Fritiden" no. 10, 1943.
VEPRO is mentioned directly in it, but the problem with the article is that
VEPRO actually ceased to exist in September 1942! But perhaps there may be a
misdating of the article in Stegelmann's book?
