Kehidupan awal

Tartakovsky was born January 17, 1970, in Moscow, to Jewish parents. His father, Boris, worked as a dentist for government officials and the national ice hockey team of the Soviet Union. His mother, Miriam, is an assistant principal at a school. He also has a brother, Alexander, who is two years older and a computer consultant in Chicago. Before coming to the United States, his family moved to Italy. There, Tartakovsky says he was first attracted to the arts, inspired by the neighboring daughter. Tartakovsky then commented, "I remember, I was horrible because of it, for my life I can not draw a circle".

The Tartakovsky family moved to the United States when he was seven years old because of concerns about the antisemitism effect on the lives of their children. The family initially settled in Columbus, Ohio and then moved to Chicago. He was greatly influenced by the comics he found there; his first purchase was a matter of Super Friends . Tartakovsky began attending Eugene Elementary School in Chicago in the third grade. School is hard for him because he feels that everyone recognizes him as a stranger. He went on to attend a prestigious high school at Chicago's Lane School of Engineering, and said he never felt he was fit until he was a second-year student there. When he was 16 years old, his father died of a heart attack. He feels that his father is very tight and is an old man, but Genndy's relationship with his father is very special to him. After the death of his father, Genndy and his family moved to a government-funded housing, and he started working while still in school.

To satisfy his ambitious family, Tartakovsky tries to take the ad class, as they encourage him to become an entrepreneur. However, he signed up late and did not have much choice in his class. He was assigned to take an animation class, and this caused him to study films at Columbia College Chicago before moving to Los Angeles to study animation at the California Institute of the Arts (with his friend Rob Renzetti) and there he also met Craig McCracken. At CalArts, Tartakovsky directs and moves two student films, one of which forms the basis for Dexter's Laboratory. Reportedly, after two years at CalArts, Tartakovsky got a job at Lapiz Azul Productions in Spain on Batman: The Animated Series and The Critic . There, "he studied TV animation experiments, labor-intensive and swung them". When he was in Spain, his mother died of cancer.
