Jack Dunham (September 19, 1910 – August 16, 2008) was an American animator and television producer who worked for Walt Disney Animation Studios and Walter Lantz Productions during his career.[1]

Dunham was born in Bismarck, North Dakota, on September 19, 1910.[1]

He began his career by working on

Meany, Miny and Moe and The Country Store, which was released in 1937.[1]

Dunham was hired by the

unit manager until his departure from Disney in 1947.[1][2]

Dunham moved to Canada in 1955 for a management position at Associated Screen News of Canada in Montreal.[1] He later enjoyed a career creating both animated and live action commercials in Toronto and Montreal.[1]

Dunham created the official

television commercials.[1]
The St. Hubert rooster is still used as the mascot and logo for the St-Hubert chain as of 2009.

An article in the

care facility, but that could take awhile."[1] Dunham and his wife, who had been married for 51 years at the time, were taken to the St. Luc Hospital to live following the publication of the article.[1] Their move to the government-run hospital was reportedly against the couple's will. Jack and Dorothy escaped from the facility, but were found by police in Ottawa
and returned.

Jack Dunham died on August 16, 2008, at the age of 97. Erroneous reports list his death as on March 15, 2009,[1] as Quebec's Public Curator did not notify Dunham's friend and only listed contact of his death until that date.
