## Biography

Perce Pearce was an American producer, director and writer best known for his work with Walt Disney Productions. Born in Waukegan, Illinois, he joined the studio in 1935 as an inbetweener and quickly advanced to sequence director on *Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs* (1937), for which he also served as a live-action model for the character Doc. He later contributed to story direction on *Bambi* (1942) and story development on *Fantasia* (1940).

After the Second World War Pearce became an associate producer on *Song of the South* (1946) and *So Dear to My Heart* (1948). He produced several of Disney’s early live-action features, including *Treasure Island* (1950), *The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men* (1952) and *The Sword and the Rose* (1953). Disney entrusted him with overseeing these British productions, and Pearce relocated to England, where he died in London in 1955.
