Wetzel O. Whitaker
Wetzel Whitaker — American Mormon filmmaker (1908–1985)
Wetzel Orson "Judge" Whitaker was a filmmaker and animator. He is most known for his early work as a Disney animator, particularly the animation of the stepsisters from Cinderella, and his work as a director for BYU Motion Picture Studios. Most of the films he was involved in, such as The Windows of Heaven, Johnny Lingo and Pioneers in Petticoats, were made in cooperation with his brother Scott Whitaker. The two of them ran the BYU Motion Picture Studio during this time, receiving commission from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to make films.
