Eric Porter (filmmaker)

Eric Ernest Porter AM (June 19, 1911 — May 1, 1983) was an Australian filmmaker and animator who specialised in documentaries and commercials, but also made several features. He directed Australia's first animated feature, Marco Polo Junior Versus the Red Dragon (1972). That film's financial failure forced him to close his animation studio.

Porter was made a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) with effect December 20, 1983 in the 1984 Australia Day Honours for "service to the film industry particularly in the field of animation".
