Paul Grimault

Paul Grimault was a French animator and filmmaker. 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 30 years to produce. He began it as La Bergère et le Ramoneur in 1948, and it was highly anticipated, but Grimault's partner André Sarrut showed the film unfinished in 1952, against Grimault's wishes.
