July 8, 1905, Moscow, - October 22, 1997, Moscow - Soviet director of animated films.

In 1925 he entered the State College of Cinematography (now - VGIK), graduated in 1928 with a diploma as a decorator. From 1926 he worked at the Mezhrabpom-Rus film studio as an assistant decorator for the directors Abram Rome and Vsevolod Pudovkin. Soon after graduation, he started to work as an animator at the Gosvoenkino film studio (inserts into the combined picture of Yuri Merkulov “The First Horse”).

In the early 1930s, Amalrik moved to the Mezhrabpomfilm film studio. In the drawn film Black & White (1932), he was first mentioned in the credits as a director and artist (along with IP Ivanov-Vano). By the mid-1930s, he became the most famous cartoonist in Moscow.

In 1936 he moved to the newly formed Soyuzmultfilm film studio. At first he worked in the genre of political satire, then together with Vladimir Polkovnikov he got carried away with a modern fairy tale. In 1939, one of the first successful color cartoons, Limpopo, was produced.

Despite the evacuation of a part of Soyuzmultfilm to Samarkand, Amalrik remains in Moscow, where he is one of the initiators of the filming of the animated satirical poster "Cinema Circus" (1942). At the Voentekhfilm studio, he works on instructive animated films: for example, “German Defense and Overcoming It”.

After the release of the cartoon "Magic Shop" in 1953, Amalrik and Polkovnikov began to work separately.

The first independent film was the 1954 film “An arrow flies away into a fairy tale”. Amalrik became widely known for the film-opera “Cat's House” (1958) based on the play by S. Ya. Marshak, the film adaptation of Andersen's fairy tale “Thumbelina” (1964), the film “About the hippo, who was afraid of vaccinations” based on the tale by Milos Matsourek. It is noteworthy that Nikita Bogoslovsky wrote music for almost all of Amalrik's cartoons.

After making the film "Terem-Teremok" in 1971, he stopped working in the cinema.
