His film "Scurtă IstorieA Brief History") won the "Short Film Palme d'Or" for best short film in 1957.

(Bag with two coins).

His most known cartoon character is a little black and white man sometimes referred to as "Gopo's Little Man" after his creator.
Later in his life Popescu-Gopo confessed that he tried to start an "anti-Disney rebellion".
Unable to surpass Disney's animation characters in color and beauty, Popescu-Gopo tried to be more profound in message and substance and simplify the form and techniques used.
Unlike Disney's cartoon characters, Popescu-Gopo's cartoon characters were black and white, designed in simple lines.
Ion Popescu-Gopo died on 29 November 1989, just weeks before the Romanian Revolution.
He suffered a heart attack while trying to push his car, stuck in snow, into his garage.
