Vladislav Starevich (Russian: Владисла́в Алекса́ндрович Старе́вич, Polish: Władysław Starewicz; August 8, 1882 – February 26, 1965), was a Russian and French stop-motion animator notable as the author of the first puppet-animated film (i.e. The Beautiful Lukanida (1912)). He also used insects and other animals as protagonists of his films. (His name can also be spelled Starevitch, Starewich and Starewitch.)

"The Insects' Christmas" by filmmaker Ladislaw Starewizc (1913) is one of the earliest examples of stop-motion animation. Music by Tom Peters.
