Paul Grimault

Paul Grimault was one of the most important French animators. He made many traditionally animated films that were delicate in style, satirical, and lyrical in nature.

His most important work is La Bergére et le Ramoneur (The Chimneysweep and the Shepherdess). He began it in 1948 and it was highly anticipated, but Grimault?s partner André Sarrut showed the film unfinished in 1950, against Grimault?s wishes. This caused a rift between partners and a stop in production. In 1967, Grimault got possession of the film and was able to complete it under a new title, The King and the Bird, which ultimately became The Curious Adventures of Mr. Wonderbird (1980).
