Bill Plympton, Animator

Portrait of an Academy Award nominee.

Animator Bill Plympton, has been nominated for two Academy Awards for Best Animated Short: 'Your Face' (1987), and 'Guard Dog' (2004). His career totals for awards are 56 nominations, and 41 wins.

Bill declined a 7-figure offer from The Walt Disney Company to animate 'Aladdin' (1992); he knew any ideas he developed under contract with them would become Disney intellectual property.

Three of the opening-sequence couch gags on The Simpsons were done by Bill.
