Mitch Schauer

Mitchell Lee Schauer (pronounced "shower") (born December 18, 1955 in Pawhuska, Oklahoma) is an American animation professional who's been involved in children's programming, primetime live-action series and feature films since 1978. He is perhaps best known as the creator of the critically acclaimed, animated Nickelodeon sitcom, The Angry Beavers. 2Biography Schauer discovered his interest in art early on. Fashioning a paint brush for himself, Schauer began to paint pieces of cardboard to pass the time. He used discarded condiments and natural paints extracted from several types of flowers for his paint. Animation especially caught his attention and he began animating the occurrences that he observed as he lived on the streets. Despite being homeless, Schauer continually saw education as a means to further his position in life and therefore made the effort to attend school regularly. He was discovered by an art agent in Tulsa at the age of 17, having spent the majority of his life up until that point living on the streets. From there he went on to art school, and eventually making his way to Los Angeles where he has since worked for almost every animation studio in the business. 2Early life Mitch Schauer graduated from Daniel Webster High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 197
