The filmmaker behind 'Blinky Bill' was on Oskar Schindler's famous list as his family tried to escape the Nazis.
Yoram Gross, the Polish-born pioneer of animated films in Australia, passed away in Sydney on Monday, reportedly of natural causes. He was 88.

The latest iteration of Blinky Bill, a new CGI feature made by Flying Bark Productions, was released in Australia just last week. ...
