GLENN SCHMITZ
Glenn Curtis Schmitz nasce il 27 ottobre 1929 a Los Angeles, in California, secondo figlio di Earl D. Schmitz Sr. e Vera M. Beyl, dopo Earle D. Schmitz Jr., nato sette anni prima. Nel 1940 la famiglia risiede a Santa Monica. Glenn entra allo Studio Disney nel 1950 come apprendista animatore e lavora al lungometraggio Alice nel Paese delle Meraviglie, poi viene richiamato alle armi. Nel 1952 torna alla Disney come breakdown animator e fino al 1957 contribuisce tra l'altro a Lilli e il Vagabondo e La Bella Addormentata nel Bosco.
Dal 1960 al 1964 collabora alla serie televisiva The Magic Land of Allakazam, con il prestigiatore Mark Wilson. Schmitz illustra anche le scatole di cereali legate ad Allakazam per Kellogg's.
È di nuovo alla Disney dal maggio 1965 fino al dicembre 1967. È breakdown animator per Il Libro della Giungla e vari cortometraggi, e inoltre disegna a matita le strisce e le tavole di Lillo (Scamp) nel 1968-69.
Dal 1968 al 1971, da indipendente, disegna numerose storie a fumetti destinate all'esportazione oltreoceano, con personaggi quali Zio Paperone, Maga Magò, Amelia, Paddy, Nocina, Zipp, Cip e Ciop, Ezechiele Lupo e Lupetto. Nel 1970 torna all'animazione, realizzando layouts per la Filmation Associates, poi per De Patie-Freleng (dove è anche animatore) e Hanna-Barbera. Lavora come animatore, direttore della sceneggiatura, layout man, storyboarder e assistente animatore anche per Sanrio (Metamorphoses), Ruby-Spears (Alvin and the Chipmunks), DIC (Heathcliff), Baer (Rover Dangerfield, Il Principe e il Povero per Disney) e Warner/Amblin (Tiny Toon Adventures). Schmitz scompare l'8 agosto 2000 a San Bernardino, in California.

He went back to animation in 1970, drawing layouts for Filmation Associates, then for De Patie-Freleng (where he also animated), and Hanna-Barbera.
