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.

Famous quotes containing the word influence:
“A bestial and violent man will go so far as to kill because he is under the influence of drink, exasperated, or driven by rage and alcohol. He is paltry. He does not know the pleasure of killing, the charity of bestowing death like a caress, of linking it with the play of the noble wild beasts: every cat, every tiger, embraces its prey and licks it even while it destroys it.”
—Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)
“I think of consciousness as a bottomless lake, whose waters seem transparent, yet into which we can clearly see but a little way. But in this water there are countless objects at different depths; and certain influences will give certain kinds of those objects an upward influence which may be intense enough and continue long enough to bring them into the upper visible layer. After the impulse ceases they commence to sink downwards.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
“Concord River is remarkable for the gentleness of its current, which is scarcely perceptible, and some have referred to its influence the proverbial moderation of the inhabitants of Concord, as exhibited in the Revolution, and on later occasions.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
