"This article is about the animator. For the James Bond villain, see Tee Hee."

Thornton Hee (26 March 1911 - 30 October 1988) was an American animator, director, and teacher. He taught character design and caricature. He is always credited as T. Hee.

Hee worked at Leon Schlesinger Productions from 1935-36 as a character designer. He designed many of the celebrity caricatures used in "The Coo Coo Nut Grove" (1936) and "The Woods Are Full of Cuckoos" (1937). A 1936 Christmas card that he drew, featuring caricatures of the Schlesinger animators, was used to design the gremlins in the 1944 animated short "Russian Rhapsody."

Hee joined Walt Disney Studio around 1937. He is most recognized for directing the "Dance of the Hours" segment of "Fantasia". He left Disney after the Strike, but returned to work there twice, from 1940 to 1946, and again from 1958 to 1961.

Hee also worked for United Productions of America (1951 to 1958) and Terrytoons (1961 to 1963). [ [http://www.immaginariofiorentino.com/albertopage/amimatorsa-z/animatorsh.htm] Ibid.]

Hee was one of the co-founders, along with Jack Hannah, of the Character Animation program at the California Institute of the Arts. He later served as chairman of the Film Arts Department.
