Early life

Gennady Borisovich Tartakovsky (Russian: еннади нартаковски) was born on January 17, 1970, in Moscow, to Jewish parents. His father served as a dentist for government officials and the Soviet Union national ice hockey team. Tartakovsky thought his father was a very strict and old-fashioned guy, but they had a close relationship. Miriam, his mother, was a school assistant. Alexander, who is two years older and a computer consultant in Chicago, has a brother. His family migrated to Italy before heading to the United States. Tartakovsky was first drawn to art by a neighbor's daughter. "I remember, I was terrible at it," Tartakovsky later wrote. I couldn't draw a circle for the life of me.

Tartakovsky's family immigrated to the United States as a child of seven because of fears about the effects of antisemitism on their children's lives. The family migrated to Chicago after being settled in Columbus, Ohio. He was greatly influenced by the comics he encountered there; his first purchase was a Super Friends issue. In the third grade, Tartakovsky began attending Eugene Field Elementary School in Chicago. Because he was perceived as a foreigner, attending school was difficult. He transferred to Lane Tech College Prep High School in Chicago, but says he did not enroll until his sophomore year. When he was 16 years old, his father died of a heart attack. Tartakovsky and his family then moved to government-funded housing, and he started working while still attending high school.

Tartakovsky attempted to enroll in an advertising class, but he failed to register late and therefore had no choice over his classes. He was supposed to take an animation class at Columbia College Chicago, which culminated in his film study at the California Institute of the Arts in Los Angeles, where he and his companion Rob Renzetti were moved to Los Angeles to study animation at the California Institute of the Arts. Craig McCracken was present at the museum in Glasgow. Tartakovsky produced and animate two student films at CalArts, one of which became the basis for Dexter's Laboratory. Tartakovsky gained experience at Lapiz Azul Productions in Spain on Batman: The Animated Series after two years at CalArts. "He learned the trials of TV animation, laborious, and cranking it out." His mother died of cancer while he was in Spain.
