Timeline

1907

Ex son in law of US diplomat George H Steuart (1907-1998).

1909

Both of his parents were illustrators. His mother Kathleen "Kay" Bell (19th May 1909-1998) remarried and he was adopted by his stepfather Kenneth D C Williams (1910-2003).

1955

The son of commercial artists, Richard Williams studied at the Ontario College of Art and first worked in animation for Disney Studios in Burbank. His tenure there had a strong influence on his later work but proved somewhat stifling to his own creative flair. In 1955, aged 22, Williams moved to England and joined fellow Canadian George Dunning's company T. V. Cartoons Ltd. , working primarily on television commercials.

1958

At the same time, Williams created his first animated short feature, The Little Island (1958), which won him the 1959 BAFTA Award for Best Animated Film. Though a critical success it received a mixed response at the box office. Consequently, his next venture was aimed at the mainstream market.

1962

Love Me, Love Me, Love Me (1962) turned out to be a commercial success and generated enough revenue for Williams to set up his own animation studio.

1965

In addition to producing commercials, Williams went on to create memorable title sequences for motion pictures, including What's New Pussycat (1965), The Liquidator (1965), The Spy with a Cold Nose (1966), The Return of the Pink Panther (1975) and The Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976).

1967

Designed the famous logo from The Graduate (1967) depicting Dustin Hoffman beneath Anne Bancroft's leg.

1971

He also produced several animated features, notably A Christmas Carol (1971) and The Thief and the Cobbler (1993). The latter project underwent numerous rewrites and re-edits and took 31 years to complete.

1978

Ottawa International Animation Festival first prize in the category "Promotional Films" for Jovan "The Power". [1978]

1988

Possibly the high point of his career was as animation director on Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988), for which Williams won two Academy Awards: one for Best Visual Effects and the other for animation direction and (CGI) creation of cartoon characters. An occasional voice-over actor, he also provided the voice for the Tex Avery character Droopy Dog.

1995

In 1995, it was eventually released by Miramax in the U. S. as Arabian Knight.
