Biography

Wilfred Jackson rejoint les studios Disney en 1928 au moment de la production de Steamboat Willie (1928). Son arrivée récente le fait directement travailler sur les Mickey Mouse alors que des Oswald le lapin chanceux sont encore en production. Rapidement il devient réalisateur sur les courts métrages. Au cours de la production de Steamboat Willie, il serait l'inventeur de la méthode de synchronisation de l'animation avec le son.

Il est ensuite réalisateur de séquence sur plusieurs longs métrages de Fantasia à La Belle et le Clochard (1955). C'est durant la production de Mélodie du Sud (1946) qu'avec Ken Anderson, il développe les storyboard miniatures, réalisés en direct durant les sessions de conception qui servent par la suite au layout.

Au début des années 1950, il devient réalisateur-producteur sur l'émission Disneyland.

Il a pris sa retraite en 1961.
