William L. Snyder

William Lawrence Snyder (February 14, 1918–June 3, 1998) was an American film producer. He won an Academy Award for Best Animated Short in 1960 for the animation "Munro", a story about a four-year-old boy drafted into the army. William Snyder created the company Rembrandt Films, where animator Gene Deitch directed both his own films and cartoons outsourced from American studios such as MGM ("Tom and Jerry") and Paramount/King Features ("Popeye").

Four of Rembrandt's short cartoons were nominated for the Academy Award for Animated Short Film between 1960 and 1964. One short, a short entitled "Munro", told the story of a four-year-old boy drafted into the army, and won the 1960 Academy Award for Animated Short Film. William Snyder died of Alzheimer's disease in 1998. Rembrandt Films is today run by his son, Adam Snyder.
