After researching Lotte Reiniger and watching a few more of her animations on Youtube, I came across a pretty old looking but interesting video showing the process of making a cut-out silhouette animation. You can find the video here.
Because of the silhouette technique Lotte Reiniger has used to animation her short stories, the characters lack facial expressions. Instead, the characters are only identified by their appearance, and emotion and expression is communicated through the movements of the figures. I think this is a good example of how simple animations can be made effective and tell a narrative without the need for excessive detail.
