Hugh Harman (August 31, 1903 – November 25, 1982) was an American animator known for creating the Warner Bros. Cartoons and MGM Cartoons[1] and his collaboration with Rudolf Ising during the golden age of American animation.
MGM Cartoons
In 1939, Harman created Peace on Earth, a downbeat morality tale about two squirrels discovering the evils of war, which was nominated for an Oscar.
In 1941, Harman left MGM and formed a new studio with Disney veteran Mel Shaw. The two took over Ub Iwerks' old studio in Beverly Hills, California, where they created training films for the United States Army.
