A wonderful life that gave so much joy.

One of the last surviving figures from the golden age of animation, Givens put his illustrator stamp on characters like Tom and Jerry, Daffy Duck, Alvin and the Chipmunks, and Popeye. He was hired by the Walt Disney Company out of high school, and his first big break was working on the team for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

He eventually came over to a company that would become the Warner Bros. animation division. Along with Tex Avery, Givens would continue to evolve the design of Bugs Bunny before the character’s debut in the 1940 animated short “A Wild Hare.”
He also did the animation for this great series.
