Back To School

Animator Uli Meyer has launched a blog chronicling efforts to produce an animated feature based on the female hellions of St. Trinian’s boarding school created by British cartoonist Ronald Searle. The cartoons, which first appeared in 1941, employed dark comedic humor to skewer the notion of a proper educational institution and later served as the basis for seven live-action films beginning in 1954 with The Belles of St. Trinian’s up to the 2009 release St. Trinian’s 2: The Legend of Fritton’s Gold.
