was already a veteran animator for years with the Fleischer brothers, Charles Mintz and others when he joined the Disney studio on April 16, 1933. He started animating the Bogey Men and the baby in <em>Lullaby Land<\/em>, and then worked on more Silly Symphonies: <em>The China Shop<\/em>, <em>The Night Before Christmas<\/em>, <em>Grasshopper and the Ants<\/em>, <em>Funny Little Bunnies<\/em>, <em>The Wise Little Hen<\/em>, <em>Peculiar Penguins<\/em>, <em>The Goddess of Spring<\/em>, <em>The Tortoise and the Hare<\/em>, <em>Water Babies<\/em>, and <em>Music Land<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also worked on some Mickey Mouse shorts and <a href=\"https:\/\/snowwhitemuseum.com\/about-the-film\/main-titles\/grim-natwick\/\" title=\"Grim Natwick\">Grim Natwick<\/a> recalls being impressed by a clean-up of Mickey by Dick Huemer during his first visit of the studio in 1934.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although an experienced story artist and director, he mostly worked as an animator on <em>Snow White<\/em>, although some he made some story sketches, notably of the Queen. He also kept on working on shorts like <em>Don Donald<\/em>, <em>Toby Tortoise Returns<\/em>, <em>Little Hiawatha<\/em>, and <em>Wynken, Blynken &amp; Nod<\/em>. He even co-directed <em>Moth and the Flame<\/em> in October 1937, when director Burt Gillett left the studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That left him little time for the feature, but he animated some of the dwarfs in the discarded bed building sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/snowwhitemuseum.com\/about-the-film\/main-titles\/arthur-babbitt\/\" title=\"Arthur Babbitt\">Art Babbitt<\/a>, Dick Huemer was among the people who did not get a bonus after <em>Snow White<\/em> and indeed, he is not even credited in the main titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He later teamed up with <a href=\"https:\/\/snowwhitemuseum.com\/about-the-film\/main-titles\/joe-grant\/\" title=\"Joe Grant\">Joe Grant<\/a> in the story department and came up with the story of <em>Dumbo<\/em>, and other features. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>Dick Huemer was a very funny animator.
