Ken Harris

 
Wikipedia: Ken Harris

Ken Harris (1898-1982) was an American animator who worked for several film studios. He is widely considered as one of the master animators of his time.

Harris's most famous work was at Warner Bros. Cartoons under the supervision of director Chuck Jones; this association began in 1938 and lasted until 1962. Jones described him as "... a virtuoso. Ken Harris did it all." After Jones left Warner's, Harris worked with former animator Phil Monroe on two cartoons before Warner Bros. closed its cartoon department. In 1963, Harris worked briefly for Friz Freleng on the titles of the original The Pink Panther, then for Hanna-Barbera on their first feature film Hey There It's Yogi Bear! (1964), then rejoined Jones at M-G-M for three years. After work as an animator on How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1966) — directed by Jones, a longtime friend of Dr. Seuss — Harris came to the studio of independent animator Richard Williams in London, where he served as Richard's mentor as well as his employee. Harris's credits with Richard included A Christmas Carol (1971) — as animator of Ebenezer Scrooge — the opening titles of The Return of the Pink Panther (1975), as supervising animator for Vixey in The Fox and the Hound and the still-unfinished animated feature The Thief and the Cobbler (animating the Thief of the title, which is very reminiscent of Ken's earlier work animating Wile E. Coyote for Jones).
