Larry Leichliter’s remarkable animation career took off in 1975 with "You’re a Good Sport, Charlie Brown."
Over three decades, he held key roles—animator, concept artist, and director—on over 40 Peanuts specials and TV shows, leaving an indelible mark on the world of Charles Schulz’s iconic characters. Beyond Peanuts, Larry’s resume includes work on some of the most beloved animated series, such as "Hey Arnold!", "ChalkZone," "The Fairly OddParents," "CatDog," "SpongeBob SquarePants," and "Adventure Time."
His directorial efforts on "Adventure Time" earned him a prestigious BAFTA Award and three Primetime Emmy nominations, cementing his legacy in the world of animation.
In 2015, Larry won an Emmy for his work on "Over the Garden Wall." Since 2013, he has also been creating limited-edition art for Sopwith Productions, preserving the legacy of Peanuts animation for future generations.
This is a rare chance to meet an animation icon and celebrate his profound contributions to television and animated storytelling. Whether you’re a long-time fan or discovering his work for the first time, this evening promises to be an unforgettable experience.
