William Norman "Norm" Ferguson (September 2nd, 1902 – November 4th, 1957) was an American animator for the Walt Disney Studios and a central contributor to the studios' stylistic development in the 1930s.
He is most frequently noted for his contribution to the creation of Pluto, Mickey Mouse's pet dog and one of the studios' best-known and most enduring characters, and is the artist most closely associated with that character.
Ferguson is also credited for developing Peg-Leg Pete and the Big Bad Wolf. Known at the studio as "Norm" or "Fergy," was the primary animator of the the Evil Queen's peddler/hag disguise from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the first in a long line of great Disney feature villains. He was also a sequence director on the film.
