Fabian Erlinghäuser
Director
at Cartoon Saloon

Hi! I'm Fabian and I work as a director at Cartoon Saloon.
For the past 26 years I have been involved with most of the Saloon's best known movies and TV-shows:
I was Animation Supervisor on three Academy Award nominated films
'Song Of The Sea', 'The Breadwinner', and 'The Secret Of Kells'.
I was Assistant Director on the feature films 'My Father's Dragon' and 'Song Of The Sea', co-director on the TV-show 'Silly Sundays',
and co-director of the Annie Award-winning short film 'There's a monster in my kitchen' alongside Tomm Moore.
I received the Irish Animation Award as 'Best Director of an Animated Series' for 'Dorg Van Dango'.
Currently I am Assistant Director on an upcoming feature film at Cartoon Saloon.
I have represented the studio at international events such as Annecy, Cartoon Forum, FMX, Fantoche, Spark, Monstra,
We are Playgrounds, or Shanghai Film Festival, facilitating making-of presentations and panels.
Besides my work I enjoy teaching and sharing knowledge with students.
I've taught specific curriculum modules at The Animation Workshop in Denmark (2010 - 2017)
and at Animationsinstitut Ludwigsburg in Germany (2022 - present).
I am a proud member of the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, as well as of the European Film Academy,.
We work in an amazing medium. I'm grateful to have collaborated with so many interesting people over the years!
