Paul Grimault

Paul Grimault was a French animator and filmmaker who lived from 23 March 1905 to 29 March 1994. He was known for creating traditionally animated films that were delicate in style, satirical and lyrical. His most important work is The King and the Mockingbird, which ultimately took over thirty years to produce: he began it as The Shepherdess and the Chimney Sweep in 1948, it was shown unfinished in 1952 against his wishes, and he regained possession of the film in 1967 and completed it.
