Stig Gunnar Lasseby (5 March 1925 – 8 December 1996) was a Swedish animator,[1] director and producer.
[2] Through his company Team Film he played an important role in the history of Swedish animation.
[2] Team Film went on to produce two further full-length animated features, Peter-No-Tail (1981), which was a critical and popular success and was also released in several other countries, and Peter-No-Tail in Americat (1985), which had faster action and for which some of the animation and coloring was outsourced to Prague; it made less money and received a mixed critical reception.
[2] Team Film also produced a series for small children, Totte (1973), based on books by Gunilla Wolde, and three shorts based on other children's books, Kattresan (1982), Sjörövarfilmen (1983), and Musikbussen (1994), the first two again sponsored by the Swedish Film Institute.
[2] Lasseby also voiced Tänkande August, the computer, in the Agaton Sax films[4][5] and TV series.
