Ted Sears
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ted Sears (March 13, 1900 – August 22, 1958) was an American animator during The Golden Age of American animation. Sears worked for the Fleischer Studios in the late-1920s and early-1930s, and later became a storyboard artist at the Walt Disney studio. At Disney, Sears did significant story work on many Disney features, such as Pinocchio, Cinderella, and Alice in Wonderland.
Sears was hired away from Max Fleischer to be the first head of the Disney Story Department in 1931 he wrote dialogue and story lines for virtually every production the Disney Studio made: "Snow White," " Pinocchio," "Bambi," "Dumbo," "Fantasia," "Saludos Amigos," "Cinderella," " Alice in Wonderland," "Peter Pan" (for which he wrote song lyrics), "Lady and the Tramp," and "Sleeping Beauty." (Sears had initially provided Pinocchio's voice, although Disney ultimately went with a child's voice for the character)
Sears was born in the state of Massachusetts, but was raised in New York City. He died in Los Angeles, California at the age of 58 in 1958.
