Paul Houlton Terry (19 February 1887, San Mateo, California - 25 October 1971, New York, New York) was an American cartoonist, screenwriter, film director and one of the most prolific film producers in history. He produced over 1,300 cartoons between 1915 and 1955 including the many Terrytoons cartoons.
Paul Terry was raised in San Francisco and in 1904, he began working as a news photographer and a cartoonist for the newspapers (San Francisco Bulletin, San Francisco Call-Examiner). He later transferred to the New York Press, a Hearst newspaper in New York City.
In 1914, Terry became interested in animation after seeing Winsor McCay's Gertie the Dinosaur. While still working for the newspaper, he made his first film, "Little Herman", which he completed and sold to the Thanhouser film company in 1915. Later that year, he completed his second film "Down on the Phoney Farm". There is a story, perhaps legendary, that Terry attempted to sell his cartoon to a producer who made a small offer for the film. When Terry told him that the offer was less than his production costs, the producer supposedly replied, "I'd had paid more if you hand't put those pictures on there!"
In 1916, he began working at the J. R. Bray Studios, directing and producing a series of eleven Farmer Al Falfa films. Before the end of the year, Terry left Bray, taking the rights to Farmer Al Falfa with him.
In 1917, Terry formed his own production company, "Paul Terry Productions" and produced nine more animated films, including one Farmer Al Falfa film. Paul Terry closed his studio to join the Army and fought in World War I.
In 1920, Terry entered into a partnership with Amadee J. Van Beuren, and started the "Fables Studios". During this time, he began producing a series of Aesop's Film Fables as well as new Farmer Al Falfa films. This partnership lasted until 1929, when Terry and Van Beuren disagreed over the switch to producing films with sound. Terry and part of his staff left to start Terry and much of his staff started up the Terrytoons studio. Van Beuren retained "Fables Studios" and renamed it "Van Beuren Studios".
Paul Terry's Terrytoons produced a large number of animated films, including Gandy Goose, Mighty Mouse, Heckle and Jeckle, Barker Bill and many other lesser known characters. Theatrical distribution was first through Educational Pictures then through 20th Century Fox.
Paul Terry was quick to adopt techniques that simplified the animation process, but resisted "improvements" that complicated the production. He was one of the first to make use of "cel animation" including animation of separate body parts. His studio was slow to switch to synchronized sound tracks and to color. While this may have sometimes prevented his films from achieving the technical excellence of Disney or Fleischer Studios, he did manage to keep his studio profitable, while others went out of business.
Paul Terry retired after selling his animation studio and film library to CBS in 1955. CBS made the Terrytoons library of films a mainstay of its Saturday morning programming and continued operating the studio making both new theatrical films and series for television until the late 1960s.
Paul Terry's nephew, Alex Anderson, was a producer of Crusader Rabbit, and is the creator of the Rocky the Flying Squirrel, Bullwinkle, and Dudley Do-Right characters even though Jay Ward is usually given credit.
Paul Christopher James Terry, (born 7 November, 1985) is an English actor, best known for playing James in the movie adaptation of Roald Dahl's James And The Giant Peach.

He was educated at the prestigious Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School in Elstree and studied Civil Engineering at Cardiff University. Paul now lives in Cardiff after studying at Berufsakademie Mosbach and can often be found frequenting 'Metros' in Cardiff City Centre. Since Microsoap he also appeared on an episode of The Weakest Link in which he finished third.
Paul was a bass player for the indie band Glass Apple on World WIDE Recordings.
A somewhat unsung legend in the animation biz, Paul Terry--born in San Mateo, raised in San Francisco--attended Polytechnic High and began as a cartoonist in newspapers (San Francisco Bulletin, San Francisco Call-Examiner) between 1904 and 1914. After having drawn comics for King Features in 1913, Mr. Terry moved on to producing many, many cartoons between the years of 1915 and 1955--some 1300 in all: Aesop's Fables (not the Jay-Ward shorts of the early '60s), Terrytoons characters Farmer Al Falfa (aka Farmer Grey), Mighty Mouse, Heckle & Jeckle, Gandy Goose, Slippery Sam, Dinky Duck, Rudy Rooster and many more. In the early '60s, Mr. Terry sold Terrytoons to CBS in order to pursue painting and a life of semi-retirement.
