Paul Grimault (March 23, 1905 in Neuilly-sur-Seine - March 29, 1994 in Le Mesnil-Saint-Denis) 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 Bergère et le Ramoneur (The Shepherdess and the Chimneysweep). He began it in 1948 and it was highly anticipated, but Grimault’s partner André Sarrut showed the film unfinished in 1952, 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, Le Roi et l'oiseau (there are many names for it in English that have been used in various releases, including: The King and the Bird, The King and the Mockingbird, The Curious Adventures of Mr. Wonderbird and The King and Mr. Bird) (1980).
