Influence
- Although all subsequent makers of animated fairy tales could be said to have been influenced by Reiniger, Bruno J. Böttge is probably the one who has made the most explicit references to her work.
- Michel Ocelot employs many of the techniques devolved by Reiniger, along with others of his own invention, in his silhouette film Princes et princesses.
- The silhouette books of illustrator Jan Pieńkowski are reminiscent of Reiniger and Hans Christian Andersen in their coloured backgrounds and complex arrangements.
- Be-PaPas' TV series Revolutionary Girl Utena frequently references silhouette paintings, shadow puppets, flying horses and the European fairy tale tradition – all icons of Reiniger's films – but there is no known official confirmation of her influence.
- The ending credits of the film 300 (2007) depict a battle in silhouette, and the source-material graphic novel by Frank Miller features extensive use of stylised silhouettes.
- Experimental animation artist, filmmaker and activist Helen Hill drew inspiration from the cut-out silhouettes of Lotte Reiniger and went on to incorporate stop motion, puppetry, cycles, and drawing on film in her own award-winning animation.
- Further influences can be seen in many music videos, including "Annie, Let's Not Wait" (2007) by Guillemots (directed by Corin Hardy); "Ladybug" (2008) by The Presidents Of The United States of America (directed by Paul Gravett ).
- Film director Henry Selick was influenced by Reiniger's The Adventures of Prince Achmed.
