One of the most influential animators in history, Grim Natwick (born Myron Noidveig) had a decades long career that spanned the entire history of both [[The Golden Age of Animation]] and [[The Dark Age of Animation]], having worked at most of the major cartoon studios of the time.
 
Noteworthy work of Natwick includes the earliest incarnations of [[Betty Boop]] (up till [[BimbosBimbo's Initiation]]) and Fleischer talkies in general, contributing heavily to the [[Ub Iwerks]] studio, animating a third of Snow White herself in Disney's feature length film, being a top animator at [[Walter Lantz]]'s studio and UPA, and later down the road served as a mentor and animator for [[Richard Williams]], as well as contributing animation to Richard's animated epic [[The Thief and The Cobbler (Animation)|The Thief and Thethe Cobbler]], animating the Witch in that film while in his 90's.
 
He was also lifelong friends with fellow veteran animator [[Shamus Culhane|James "Shamus" Culhane]], as well as industry pioneer and animator Bill Nolan.

=== Tropes: ===
* [[Screwed Byby the Network]]: Grim Natwick technically created [[Betty Boop (Animation)|Betty Boop]], but was never credited for such, and was furious about it to the day he died.
* [[NamesName's the Same]] as an actor who cameoed in ''[[Cats and Dogs (Film)|Cats and Dogs]]''.
