Dave Hand is a Director, Writer, Director of Photography and Animation American born on 23 january 1900 at Plainfield (USA)
David Dodd Hand (January 23, 1900 – October 11, 1986) was an animator and animation filmmaker, best known for his work at Walt Disney Productions. Hand worked on numerous Disney shorts during the 1930s, eventually becoming supervising director on the animated features Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Bambi.
Born in Plainfield, New Jersey, Hand began his animation career working on the Out of the Inkwell cartoons throughout the 1920s. He joined the Disney studio in 1930, during a major drive by Disney to recruit from the cream of animating talent. Hand immediately made his mark as an animator, contributing to mostly to Silly Symphonies such as Midnight in a Toy Shop, The China Plate and Egyptian Melodies.
By 1932 he was regarded as one of Disney's top animators (despite some complaints that his work was "too mechanical"). as well as having become a close friend of Walt Disney. Hand's organizational skills made Disney select him to be the studio's third director after Burt Gillett and Wilfred Jackson. He made his directorial debut for the company with the Mickey Mouse short Building a Building, and went on to direct both Silly Symphonies and Mickey Mouse shorts, including The Flying Mouse, Who Killed Cock Robin?, Three Orphan Kittens and Thru the Mirror. By the late 1930s Hand's management skills had allowed him to ascend in the hierarchy of the Studio to functioning as Disney's right-hand man. But as historian Michael Barrier notes "Hand's position was fundamentally untenable—he was second in command in an organization whose leader, younger than Hand himself, had no intention of ever stepping aside or sharing real power.
Il travaille comme animateur sur les Silly Symphonies, sa première participation est sur Monkey Melodies.
À partir de 1931, David Hand et Ben Sharpsteen deviennent les responsables d'équipes d'apprentis principalement sur les Silly Symphonies, et sont concernés à ce titre comme les premiers formateurs des animateurs des studios Disney, avant la mise en place de cours du soir assuré par Donald W. Graham en 1932.
En 1932, il est nommé réalisateur sur Trader Mickey et devient réalisateur à plein temps jusqu'à son départ des studios Disney en 1944.
Il participe alors à la création d'un propre studio d'animation au Royaume-Uni, Gaumont British Animation, dont il sera le producteur jusqu'en 1950.
Il décède en 1986 et est nommé Disney Legends à titre posthume en 1994.
