Geronimi was an Italian-American animation director. He is best known
for his work at Walt Disney Studio. Geronimi was born in Italy,
immigrating to the United States as a young child. Geronimi's earliest
work in the animation field was for the J.R. Bray Studios, where he
worked with Walter Lantz. Geronimi left Bray in 1931 to join Walt Disney
Studio, where he remained for the rest of his career. Geronimi started
off in the shorts department, eventually becoming a director. His 1941
short, "Lend a Paw", won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short
Subject. Geronimi moved into directing feature-length animated films
after end of World War II. He was the co-director on Cinderella, Alice
in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Sleeping Beauty, Lady and the Tramp, and One
Hundred and One Dalmatians. After Geronimi left Disney in 1959, he
worked in television for a number of years, including directing many
episodes of the 1967 animated Spider-Man series. He retired from
animation sometime in the late 1960s, and provided illustrations for
children's books written by Joan Pizzo.
