Biography

Carlsson was born in Gothenburg, Västra Götaland. He started animating professionally in 1988.

In the early 90s, Carlsson made stop-motion animated shorts, often with satirical themes. In 1996, he began making Robin, a series of shorts about a young man's urban adventures. The Robin shorts were popular with the members of the English rock band Radiohead, who commissioned Carlsson to create the video for their song "Paranoid Android", featuring the Robin character. His other television works include The Three Friends and Jerry , [1] which has been distributed to over 100 countries, [2] and the children's short series Lisa. In 2006, Carlsson made the stop-motion feature film Desmond & the Swamp Barbarian Trap. In 2018, with Jens Ganman, he made the satirical cartoon Så att det blir rätt (So That It's Right).

Carlsson has also created ads for companies such as Fiat [3] and Libresse. [4]
