He Worked Alongside Walt Disney Himself And Made $18.00 A Week, Oftentimes Working Overtime Without Pay. He Worked In Several Different Departments, Starting As An Animator, Moving Up To Director, Then To Assistant Director; He Was Also Dave Hand's Assistant. When The United States Entered World War Ii, Disney Submitted The Necessary Paperwork To Waive His Employees Of Their Service So The Company Could Direct Training Films For The Army. Cutting Headed The Editorial Department For A Year During The War. Cutting Was One Of The Several Employees Who Played Polo With Walt Disney; He Also Was Sent To "Scout For Merry-Go-Rounds In Europe" After Disney Had The Idea For A Theme Park. In 1939, His Film The Ugly Duckling Won The 1940 Oscar In Best Short Subject (Cartoons). After Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs Was Released, Cutting Convinced Roy Disney To Let Him Work With The Man Hired To Dub The Film; He Quickly Became A Dubbing Assistant And By 1938 Was Head Of The Foreign Department At Disney. In This Role, He Supervised Translation And Dubbing Efforts All Over The World, Traveling Often To Work With Different Teams. He Oversaw The Dubbing Of And Found Voice Actors For The Swedish Dumbo, The French Mary Poppins, And The Japanese One Hundred And One Dalmatians In Japanese. He Was Among The Frontrunners For Synchronizing Sound And Image. He Held His Position In The Foreign Department Until His Retirement In 1975. Cutting And His Wife Camille Lived In Paris While Cutting Worked With European Markets. B/W Drawings (illustrator).
