Happy birthday to animation legend Borge Ring, who is 92 years young today!
Borge began animating in the 1930s. Here’s a commercial piece he animated in 1950:
And here is his Oscar-nominated 1978 short, Oh My Darling:
Borge was also a professional jazz musician during the 1940s and 1950s. In the video below, he plays bass on a Danish TV show in 1985:

Good news: Ninety-one-year-old animation legend Borge Ring is receiving a Winsor McCay Lifetime Achievement Award this weekend at the Annie Awards.
Bad news: His house burned down yesterday. According to animation director Hans Perk, “A fire in the chimney ignited the thatched roof of their old farm in the south-east of Holland.” Thankfully, Borge and his wife Joanika weren’t hurt, but they lost everything including the Oscar that he won for his short Anna and Bella. Borge and his wife ran a bed and breakfast from their home, so in addition to losing all their possessions, the fire also eliminated their primary source of income.
Borge’s daughter Anne-Mieke Bovelett will be in LA to accept the Annie Award on behalf of her father. She has set up a Paypal donation button on her father’s official website BorgeRing.com and writes on the website that an official fundraising effort will be launched soon. This would be an ideal moment for the global animation community to lend a hand to a legend who’s suffered a devastating loss.
Here’s Borge’s Oscar-winning short Anna and Bella:
And here’s an earlier short he made Oh My Darling, which was also nominated for an Oscar:
