Friedrich Streich (born June 17, 1934 in Zurich ; † October 3, 2014 in Munich ) was a Swiss animated film maker . After having trained as a dramaturge and director at the German Institute for Films and Television (DIFF) , Streich initially worked as an actor, journalist and cartoonist . His drawings have appeared in the Tages-Anzeiger , the Süddeutsche Zeitung , the Nebelspalter and the Münchener Abendzeitung , among others . From 1960 he worked as an animator.

The WDR commissioned prank beginning of the 1970s, the mouse out of the picture story mouse in the store of Isolde Schmitt-Menzel to animate. Streich added special noises to the figure, such as its characteristic ringing of eyes, typical movements and new abilities. The mouse had its first appearance on television on March 7, 1971. The program was initially called Lach- und Sachgeschichten and, from 1972, Die Sendung mit der Maus . In 1975 Streich developed the little blue elephant and in 1987 the yellow duck. Since the 1980s, besides pranks, other animators were also increasingly involved in the mouse spots. Streich 333 produced 30-second cartoons with the mouse. In 1988 he received the Adolf Grimme Gold Prize together with Dieter Saldecki and Armin Maiwald .
