Celebrating a Lifetime of Achievement

Lifetime achievement Winsor McCay Award winners Bill Justice, Bob Givens and Pete Alvarado.

Pete Alvarado began working in animation in the late 1930's and has contributed to almost every major studio including Disney Feature, Warner Bros., MGM and Hanna-Barbera. From theatricals to the first television shows, Pete was there from animation to layout to background painting and more.


Bill Justice spent over forty years at Disney, animating classic scenes like Bambi on ice, directing stop-motion sequences like the nursery scene in Mary Poppins, and finally contributing to television shows and Walt Disney Imagineering.	Over Bob Givens' sixty-five year career in animation he has called Warner Bros. home most frequently. From designing the rascally rabbit in Tex Avery's A Wild Hare to leading the background design staff on Chuck Jones' current Webcartoon TimberWolf, Bob's career has spanned many of the studio's firsts.
