Ken Harris

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ken Harris (1898-1982) was an American animator who worked for several film studios. He was widely considered as one of the best animators of his time. His most famous work was at Warner Bros. Cartoons under the supervision of director Chuck Jones; this association began in 1938 and lasted until 1962. 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 Hanna-Barbera, then rejoined Jones at M-G-M for three years. In the 1970s, he worked on an animated version of A Christmas Carol and the opening titles of The Return of the Pink Panther.
