"His vivid, hand-drawn motion graphics are guided by a probing intelligence and a daring sensibility that make him Germany's most important and controversial contemporary animation filmmaker."
John Canemaker über Andreas Hykade, BAF-Catalogue, November 2006

"It's like a Fassbinder play on acid. Everything suggests that this is a real scene - the perfectly-simulated handheld camera, the grainy picture, the motion-blurred whip pans and smash zooms, the claustrophobic location sound, the naturalistic lighting and eerily tactile texture of the worn-out kitchen table - everything except that one thing , which is of course that these are animals who usually don't speak German."
Taylor Jessen über "Kein Platz für Gerold", Animation World Magazine, May 2006

"If any cartoon film company can be said to have done more for the positive international image of German cartoon film in the last decade, then that's Studio FILM BILDER of Stuttgart."
Novum magazine, August 2005

"Film Bilder dominates the airwaves again - the Stuttgart-based animation studio is now a regular on VIVA and MTV."
Lift magazine, February 2000

"Their films, masterpieces of the art of animation, include the Dresdner Bank umbrella sequence shown before every weather forecast on ZDF."
w&v advertising industry magazine, April 2000

"A later competition/Concorso Internazionale features Andreas Hykade's Ring of Fire, made in Germany (2000). This is a stupendous movie, in wide screen, black and white, full of cowboy bad behaviour, sexual imagery, big music, eye popping combinations of drawn and computer animation, more sexual imagery and an overall effect of grand scale animation production."
Marv Newland, Animation World Magazine / November 2000

"Considering the competition, it is not surprising that Film Bilder have been so successful. Their clips are a welcome change from the usual humdrum fare on the music channels, which almost inevitably show popstars grinning cooly at the camera."
Der Spiegel magazine, April 2000

"This is the créme de la créme of animation."
S-Trip supplement, October 1999

"Tic Tac Toe were kneaded into shape at Film Bilder, which was founded ten years ago. Here, too, the animated sequences in "Lola rennt", now heading for the Oscars, first saw the light of day."
Hohenloher Wochenpost newspaper, November 1998

"Eight years ago, studio chief Thomas Meyer-Hermann began to write - or should we say draw - a unique success story."
Stuttgarter Zeitung newspaper, 1997
