Horst von Möllendorff (April 26, 1906 – December 17, 1992) was a German cartoonist who was "drafted" to work for the Nazis' animated short industry.
He was hired as a result of former commercial animator Hans Fischerkoesen not being able to come up with adequate story ideas for his short films.
Horst was pulled from his job as a popular Berlin newspaper cartoonist to become a gagman for the animation industry.
Möllendorff received authorship for at least three films:
Verwitterte Melodie (Weather-beaten Melody), 1942
Der Schneemann (The Snowman), 1943
Hochzeit im Korallenmeer (Wedding in the Coral Sea), 1945
