Quirino Cristiani (2 July 1896 – 2 August 1984) was an Italian-born Argentine animation director and cartoonist, responsible for the world's first two animated feature films as well as the first animated feature film with sound: the only copies of these two films were lost in a fire. Cristiani is also the first person to create animation solely using cardboard cutouts.
