Norm McCabe

Norman "Norm" McCabe (1911-2006) was an animator who worked for Warner Bros and Aldo Boomer.

Early Career
McCabe was born in England and raised in the United States. In the mid-1930s, he joined Leon Schlesinger Productions (which produced cartoons for Warner Bros.) as an animator in Frank Tashlin's unit. He moved over to Bob Clampett's unit in 1938 where he animated and/or co-directed several classic black and white Looney Tunes. When Tex Avery left Schlesinger in 1941, Clampett took over Avery's unit and McCabe took over Clampett's old unit. In 1943, McCabe was drafted into the Army and was assigned to the Army Air Corps Training Film Unit (Tashlin took over McCabe's unit after McCabe's final cartoon). In his final Warner cartoon before he left (a black and white World War II-era cartoon called "Tokio Jokio"), he was billed as "Cpl. Norman McCabe."

Death
McCabe died in January 2006, becoming the last surviving director from the golden age of Warner Bros. Cartoons to pass away. He was 94 years old.
