John Hubley (May 21, 1914 – February 21, 1977) was an animator and animation director known for both his formal experimentation and for his emotional realism which stemmed from his tendency to cast his own children as voice actors in his films.
In 1935, he got a job as a background and layout artist at Disney, where he worked on such classic films as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, Dumbo, and Bambi, as well as "The Rite of Spring" segment from Fantasia.
He married Faith Elliott (September 16, 1924 – December 7, 2001) the same year, and they collaborated on nearly every film he made until his death in 1977 at age 62 during heart surgery.

John Hubley, as most of you know, was one of the premiere names in animation in his time.
Hubley became part of (and quite possibly led) a group of artists at Disney who became fed up with the traditions of literalism and sentimental representation that were the studio’s stock-in-trade right down to the musical scores.
Hubley also hated the repressive political atmosphere at the studio, where personnel were discreetly but strongly urged to vote for Walt’s candidates of choice during elections.

In the years since the establishment of their independent animation studio, Storyboard, in 1955, the Hubleys completed 21 films together, one a year until John Hubley's death, during heart surgery in 1977.

John Hubley and John Kricfalusi, following virtually the same paths, managed to perform these feats in completely different ways and we are all the richer for it.

The myriad shapes and designs of her films have a delicate line, soft edges, and a subtle palette enhanced by her expert use of "underlighting"--a technique in which drawings on paper are illuminated from below, as opposed to conventional animation, in which paintings on celluloid are lit from above.
Children of the 1950s may recall Mark Hubley demanding, "I want my Maypo!" in the animated commercial that was recently chosen as one of the twenty-five best commercials in television history.

Hubley’s studio turned out one great spot after another, and even this one, which isn’t a classic by any means, is still an amazing piece of work.
One of Hubley’s trademarks was his ability to integrate the product pitch into the storytelling which is what he does here; note how seamlessly Hubley tells us that Heinz 57 is made with 17 ingredients and that the sauce tastes good on a variety of meats.
Hubley’s sensitivity to the movement of characters is even more remarkable considering that he was one of the few directors of the era who hadn’t been an animator prior to directing.
