Best known for his successful short films such as HOW TO KISS, 25 WAYS TO QUIT SMOKING and the Oscar-nominated GUARD DOG and YOUR FACE, Bill Plympton is one of the most prolific and well known independent animators in the business. He is the author of many graphic novels and comics including THE SLEAZY CARTOONS OF BILL PLYMPTON and MONICA: THE UNTOLD STORY and creator/director/animator of the animated features MUTANT ALIENS and HAIR HIGH.
All his life Bill has been fascinated by animation. When he was fourteen he sent Disney some of his cartoons and offered up his services as an animator. They wrote back and told him that while his drawings showed promise, he was too young. It wasn't until 1983 that he was approached to animate a film. The Android Sister Valeria Wasilewski asked Plympton to work on a film she was producing of Jules Feiffer's song "Boomtown". Connie D'Antuono, another of the film's producers, "sort of held my hand through the whole process," Plympton says. "It was a great way to learn how to make a film."
