George Pal
George Pal (February 1, 1908 Cegléd-May 2, 1980 Los Angeles) also known as György Pál Marczincsák or Julius György Marczincsak was a Hungarian animator, film director, film producer, cinematographer, screenwriter, film editor and actor. He had two children, Peter Marczincsák and David Marczincsák.
Pal began his career as an animator in Hungary, but moved to the United States in 1940 to escape the growing threat of World War II. He quickly established himself as a leader in the field of stop-motion animation, creating a number of iconic shorts and feature-length films, including "Tulips Shall Grow" and "The Puppetoon Movie."
Pal's most famous work, however, was his series of sci-fi films, including "Destination Moon" and "War of the Worlds." These films were groundbreaking in their use of special effects and helped to establish the modern blockbuster as we know it today.
In addition to his work in animation and filmmaking, Pal was also a collector of rare books and artifacts, including a number of items related to the history of science and technology. He donated many of these items to museums and universities, and his collections are still studied and admired today.
Despite suffering from health problems in his later years, Pal continued to work in the film industry until his death in 1980, leaving behind a legacy of innovation, creativity, and groundbreaking artistry.
