„Susanne Fränzel hat immer nach künstlerischer Klasse auf einem hohen Niveau gestrebt. Ihr filmischer Ausdruck und Stil ist komplex und vielseitig … in all diesen Disziplinen hat sie einen bemerkenswert hohen Standard erreicht, gepaart mit einem gut ausgebildeten Sinn für Qualität.“

Jackie Leger for The Animation Magazine
“Running her film company Sultana Films from a small town in Germany, Susanne Franzel is one such independent woman. From shorts to music videos to performance pieces, Franzel chose to work within the domain of social issues. Her mixed-media films convey a political message while aiming to be artfully entertaining.
Sultana Films is a small company that thinks big, and for Franzel, social messages are as important as the innovative techniques she uses to express them.”

Gunnar Strøm (Filmkritiker Norwegen) about Horizon Fränzel´s film BRAVO PAPA 2040
“More animated films should aim at changing the world – at least for a tiny little bit.”

John Hoskyns-Abrahall/Bullfrog Films
"THE HONEYMOON is the latest work from the constantly creative Susanne Horizon-Franzel. In this charming film two honeymooners take a trip to the Alps, where they
commune with nature - including animals and plants that respond to them with communicative sounds. Then they find their love moves mountains ...literally...

Bruce Royer/Royer Studios
"...What an artist! The Honeymoon is definitely a reflection of her wild imagination. Suzanne' s films are made up of fascinating visuals and creative soundtracks."

„Through the magic of very clever film making, witness the improbable flight of the stone, hurled in outrage, that visits influences on people in every corner of the global village“

„This is what short films are all about: creativity, exploration, and tireless dedication“
Rochester International Film Festival

„A cobblestone thrown in anger quickly travels around the world before coming back to ist thrower in this rather amazing and funny short. In a spirited mix of live-action footage and tate-of-the-art pixilation, fast motion point-of-view (from the rock´s perspective) shots alternate with the reactions from people in more than six countries. Except for an initial grunted expletive, this is a wordless tour de force that seems almost like a stunt or thrill ride. Including some subtly implied sociological commentary, this award-winning German production really rocks.“
Jeff Dick, 08/01/00 Booklist
