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:
“Poets are the hierophants of an unapprehended inspiration; the mirrors of the gigantic shadows which futurity casts upon the present; the words which express what they understand not; the trumpets which sing to battle and feel not what they inspire; the influence which is moved not, but moves. Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
“I anticipate with pleasing expectations that retreat in which I promise myself to realize, without alloy, the sweet enjoyment of partaking, in the midst of my fellow citizens, the benign influence of good laws under a free government, the ever favorite object of my heart, and the happy reward, as I trust, of our mutual cares, labors, and dangers.”
—George Washington (1732–1799)
“I became the Incredible Shrinking Mother the year they started junior high. If our relationship today depended on physical clout, I would have about the same influence with them that the republic of Liechtenstein has on world politics.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
