(1933) Monsters galore attend the "Devil's Ball" in Ladislaw Starevitch's stop-motion epic. The hero is a stuffed animal DOG who tries to find an orange to bring back to his child owner.

In 1933 Ladislas and Irene Starevich produced and directed a film of about 1000 meters, initially titled LS 18. It became the film Fétiche Mascotte (The Mascot), about 600 meters, distributed in 1934. Starevich had a contract with Marc Gelbart (Gelma Films) to make a series with this character. Twelve episodes were planned, but for economic reasons, only five were made between 1934 and 1937 and distributed worldwide. These are Fétiche prestidigitateur (The Ringmaster, 1934), Fétiche se marie (The Mascot's Wedding, 1935), Fétiche en voyage de noces (The Navigator, 1936) and Fétiche et les sirènes (The Mascot and the Mermaids, 1937) which was not released because sound could not be added.
