William "Hicks" Lokey (April 5, 1904 – November 4, 1990) was an American animator. He is best known for his work at Fleischer Studios.

Lokey was born in

Aesop's Film Fables during the 1920s.[2] Starting in 1934, he worked as an animator for Fleischer Studios. One of his first works there was the Betty Boop short There's Something About a Soldier.[3]

He was one of the senior animators who took part in the

Walter Lantz Studio, where he worked until 1939.[6]

Lokey was hired by

Walt Disney Productions the following year, where he provided character animation for the "Pink Elephants on Parade" segment in Dumbo[7][2] and "The Dance of the Hours" in Fantasia.[8][9] Lokey left the Disney studio in 1941 after joining several animators in the Disney animators' strike.[10]

After a stint at Paul Fennell, he found employment at Hanna-Barbera in 1959, where he would remain for nearly thirty years. Lokey continued to animate, working on the television series Goober and the Ghost Chasers[11] and The New Shmoo[12] and the feature film The Man Called Flintstone (1966).[13] Lokey retired in 1986.

In 1990 Lokey received the Winsor McCay Award for his lifetime of work in the field of animation.[14] Lokey died in Los Angeles on November 4, 1990.
